During my three years at Providence College the campus has become busier and busier. My first year was during heavy COVID-19 restrictions and there weren’t many people out and about. As the masks came off and events took place, Slavin lawn was busy and certain areas bustled with students. Over the past three years, the […]
Even as an English Literature major and a co-Editor-in-Chief of this paper, writing topics do not always come easily to me. I’ve written so much, either for fun or for school, and sometimes inspiration is nowhere to be found. So, this week, as I was sitting around trying to brainstorm ed column topics for this […]
Fall has crept up on us. It’s time for cozy blankets, long pants, warm drinks, beautiful foliage, and …football season. I was graciously invited this week to watch Sunday night football with a few friends. However happy I was to spend time with them and watch some truly incredible physical feats, what struck me most […]
The fall semester has only just begun, and yet there have been events for the senior class to take advantage of our last months together in one place. Within the first week, there was Senior Sunset. Now, on Friday Sept. 22, the day after this issue reaches the stands, we celebrate 224 nights until graduation. […]
The feeling of a cold fall breeze has always had a special place in my heart. I remember when I turned 15, I was coming home from school and it was very dark out (gosh, those high school days were long). It was colder than it had been, and I was wearing a very thin […]
With midterm season coming to a close and Halloween upon us, many are beginning to look ahead and make plans for Thanksgiving break and Christmas shopping. Travel plans, holiday budgets, and finals week are all looming over us; the stress is starting to become palpable even before Halloween, and I am definitely not exempt from […]
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a Taylor Swift fan. I was lucky enough to go to the Eras Tour, I listen to her music, and I appreciate what she has done as a woman with a lot of influence. It is empowering to see a woman stay true to herself and advocate […]
As college students, our sleep schedules are like no other. I remember in my freshman year — and this is as someone who never skipped a class— I stayed up all night and then would take naps all throughout the day. As time went on, I got better about keeping a more normal schedule. But […]
During my sophomore year, I took my DWC colloquium. It was a course that changed my life— both academically and personally. The course was called Democracy in America and was taught by Dr. Raymond Hain from the Humanities Department and Dr. Patrick Breen from the History Department. It was a semester-long analysis of Alexis De […]
As midterms approach and the season is (kind of?) changing, the student-coined Friar Flu is once again making its rounds on campus. While it circulates a few times each year, many of us, myself included, start to feel under the weather less because of flu season and more so from being burnt out. Being in […]
