As October rolls around and fall begins, I get excited about all of the fun activities to do in the upcoming months. Fall’s best holiday, Halloween, is always one of my favorite times of the year as people get together to celebrate and let loose with a variety of creative costumes. My mom still has […]
I tap my fingertips on my thighs as I walk along the manicured path all the way to class. There is no longer a steering wheel to tap while I wait at a stoplight, or a radio knob to spin, creating a beat for my unoccupied foot to drum along to. Sometimes, the walk seems […]
Don’t Let the Media Think for You I usually don’t get pulled into discussions of conspiracy theories. Although some have a factual basis, I typically like my information to be concrete and deduce my opinions from proven facts. After Charlie Kirk was assassinated, I did my research about what happened and looked into the narrative […]
As the leaves ever-so-slowly begin to turn and the occasional chill in the air hints at the arrival of autumn, I’ve been thinking more and more about the importance of embracing change—specifically, changes of scenery. It’s so easy to get bogged down in a routine that feels dull and unexciting. This is particularly true in […]
The Ever Complicated Question Recycling is extremely important on campus, and all students should know how to properly recycle. It is disheartening to take my recycling down to the trash room and see that our recycling bins are absolutely disgusting and full of non-recyclable items. I understand not everyone may know how to recycle, but […]
How Much is Too Much? Everyone’s favorite showgirl is on the verge of dropping her twelfth studio album—what does this mean for the environment? The short answer: nothing good.

I’ve been on campus just about a month now, and it is evident that the words that mean something to me might mean nothing to someone else. I’m not referring to greatly important words—like having a kind conversation, respecting each others’ opinions, or sharing special details about oneself with friends. I am talking about words […]
The Importance of Prioritizing Our Mental Health As College Students Although Mental Health Awareness Month is only one month out of the year, this does not mean we should only monitor or prioritize our mental health during October. Instead, I think of mental health awareness as a yearly reminder for us to reevaluate our mental […]
Hey Cowl readers, happy fifth week of classes! Or, as I keep reminding myself, the last time I will be in the fifth week of my fall semester at Providence College ever. And I know that sounds way too specific a situation to be sad over, but during everything I have done lately, I have […]
A Call from the Bishop to Turn Towards Nature On Wednesday, Sept. 24, a Mass for the Care of Creation was held on campus in Saint Dominic Chapel. The Mass was celebrated with Most Reverend Bishop Bruce Lewandowski, C.Ss.R., and Concelebrant Reverend Kenneth R. Sicard, O.P. ’78, ’82G. The early evening of Sept. 24 was […]
