They say there’s no culture in L.A. This city’s detractors will tell you that everyone out here is in it for himself and that if people are nice to you it’s merely a front. Furthermore, they’ll note that the city’s history is built on corruption—anyone seen Chinatown? The people who don’t like L.A. will tell [...]

My last entry I wrote a list of all the things I wanted to do before leaving Boston. I obviously had forgotten my school schedule. Maybe it is because I was abroad last semester and spent the last two months of my semester in an internship, but I really forgot how much homework I get [...]

I know they say radio is dead these days. They same the same thing about film too—but last time I checked there were two movies released this year that grossed one billion dollars worldwide. I think the only media form that’s truly dead is the traditional newspaper. Everyone reads their news online because you can [...]

I never liked the way the maniacs on the East Coast drove. Especially New Englanders. Honestly, any time I took the green line on the T to downtown Boston and got off at Boylston Street I said three Hail Marys in the hope that I didn’t get killed trying to cross the street. You think [...]

I have very little to complain about my upbringing; I was blessed with two wonderful parents and three great siblings. My family (thankfully) isn’t poor and as my mother likes to put it, “We’re actually really rich in love.” Our family immediately family’s wealth increases tenfold when you factor in the rest of my loving [...]

So I am officially back from France and two weeks into my senior year. My semester abroad flew by and I cannot believe I am inches (around 6 months) away from venturing out into real life. Terrifying. Before I (maybe) leave, here is a list of things I still want to do in Boston: Go [...]

This is BU… In L.A. Well, I’m finally here in sunny California. I’ve been waiting to come out here since I was in fourth grade. I guess I’m pretty lucky to have known what I’ve wanted to do since I was nine. I know a lot of my friends that are seniors still don’t know [...]

Recently I went on a little visit to the Montmartre, a hill in the middle of Paris (in the 18th arrondissement) that’s home to the Sacré-Coeur, some of the only grape vines growing in the city and of course Moulin Rouge. Walking around the Butte Montmartre I would never guess that it used to be [...]

By Christa Finger sandwiches, pastries, scones… now I feel that I am in Great Britain. It’s 3 in the afternoon, high tea time, and I am about to attend my first tea party in about fifteen years. The last one I attended involved teddy bears and baby dolls. Friends and I have decided to take [...]
