In the wake of Monday’s tragedy, it’s easy to assume that the Boston Marathon will never be the same. An event to celebrate a great human feat of strength, a Beantown tradition, and an annual day of celebration for families and students has been tainted by this horrible disaster. We can look at the attackers, [...]

Now that it’s above -10 degrees out, everyone should start spending more time outside and much less time doing homework. If you’re looking for something to do, here are my favorite warm-weather places in and around Boston: 1. Boston Harbor Islands Starting in May, you can take the $15 ferry to the Harbor Islands, a [...]

1. Congregate before public transit shuts down, bring board games, food 2. Run out of food, venture into the middle of the deserted street, accept that you will fall, own it. 3.

Last night, I was awake in my bed until 4am. Probably not the best thing to do right before the first day of classes, but for some reason I couldn’t stop thinking about where I was going in life. Where have I come from and where do I want to end up? I’m starting to [...]

I’m a huge fan of Mexican food, burritos, and really just food. That is why this battle of burritos is so important to me. I’ve done research and numerous taste-tests to prepare you for the next time you’re in the mood for Mexican. Our two contenders are Boloco and Chiptole. Although they are both essentially [...]

Last Sunday I found myself at Pride with one of my close friends.
