It isn’t all Fun and Games. Or is it? With the recent cancellation of Eaton Street events, I’ve heard nonstop discussions about, “What are we going to do? Campus is so boring. Maybe I’ll transfer.” I understand wanting something to do on a Saturday. But if the cancellation of a party is enough to make […]
On Wednesday, Sept. 9, voters across the state of Rhode Island took to the polls to cast their ballots in the state’s primary elections. Although the primaries delivered many interesting results, including incumbent Governor Dan McKee suffering defeat in his bid for reelection, one race stuck out to me and many other Democrats across the […]
I was once told that throughout your entire life, you’re lucky if you have one solid, supportive, loyal friend. Just one. I agree that not all people are on the same wavelength when it comes to their true purpose in having friends. For example, some friends stick around only during the good times, to have […]
Specifically, pray for the girls who wear them. If you have eyes and go to Providence College, you have seen these everywhere. In the winter, worn with a black Aritzia Super Puff and Ugg mini boots, or in the spring, with black Lululemon leggings and Rainbow flip flops instead.

First of all, I know that comfort on an airplane is a first-world problem and is not a major problem that needs to be addressed, but I believe that people reclining their seats on airplanes is indicative of the person’s character. Last week over Easter break I travelled to Edinburgh, Scotland to visit my friend […]
Separation of church and state has long been one of the most noble features of our American political system. It has allowed the United States to continue to present itself as a nation that is welcome and open to people of all faiths and creeds, even though the nation has a long history of religious […]
My junior year I took the general Foundations: Faith, Life, and Traditions class to fill my theology 200 requirement at Providence College. The majority of the semester was the standard stuff, but towards the end of the semester my professor wanted to connect our experience in the classroom to the real world. This was during […]
Graduating from college is a major achievement. An undergraduate degree takes a large investment of time, money, and effort, and not just on the part of the students. Families have helped move students in and out of dorm rooms, worked long hours to help cover expenses, and gave encouraging words to help them feel less […]
One day, my roommate and I were on our way to the CVS on Admiral Street to pick up our birth control. I checked out with no charge, as it’s covered by my insurance, while my roommate had to pay $30 for hers. My roommate uses PC’s insurance, which does not fully cover birth control […]
As I approach the end of college, the benefits of social media have become even more apparent. My mother graduated from Providence College in 1988, and while she remains in touch with her close friends to this day, it was measurably more difficult for them to keep track of each other. With no cell phones, […]
