Fiona Clarke ’23 At Goodwill, a good find: A second, or third, or fourth-hand lamp. (“Where are you going to put that?” “I don’t know, but I’ll find a place.”) And so it was: An old light in a new shape, A new light in an old place. So it was, was it […]
Mariela Flores ’23 ***TRIGGER WARNING: EATING DISORDER*** I empty myself out. While the world concaves around me I center myself. Scrapping what is left of me until I feel nothing–– moving inside of me. I center myself in the feeling, of sharp bones that rip through my skin. Nothing moves inside of me, only […]
Celebrities Who Should’ve Been at the Big East Tournament Pete Davidson (only if he brought Kim) Kanye West (would he and Pete fight?) Dean Sears Timothée Chalamet Nicole Patano (our fave EIC) Nate Watson (think he’d make a TikTok with me?) Big Time Rush (without their opening act) Dot (PC misses her greatly) The Cheetah […]

Kathryn Libertini ’23 I hear “So let me tell you guys why I chose Providence College” as I turn the corner in Slavin. My heart is pounding, not from the stairs, no, but from the pressure. Tonight’s game against Creighton decides if we win the Big East Championship. Coach Cooley met with me to discuss […]
Dear Tiff and Earl, I’m a non-basketball student-athlete and I feel like we don’t get enough clout. Do I need to become the next Nate Watson on TikTok? Sincerely, A PC Second-Class Citizen Dear Second-Class Citizen, …there are non-basketball student athletes? No cheers for you, Tiff Dear PC Second-Class Citizen, Although I’m sure there are […]
Professor Red Flags I Wish I Noticed Earlier in the Semester: No syllabus week Small word counts for essays (only for English/Creative Writing majors) Long word counts for essays (for every other major) Asks for papers single-spaced Wants printed and digital copies No laptops allowed in class (they’re cutting into my online shopping time…) Printing […]
Kate Ward ’23 John was the only man in his figure drawing class. He had always gotten extra odd looks when there was a female life model coming into the studio to pose for them. Most of the time the models weren’t even nude, so he didn’t know why everyone still assumed he was looking […]
Sarah McLaughlin ’23 You are Plato, turned to heaven’s forms, I am Aristotle, here on Earth. You are Dante, looking up beyond the wall of rock, I am Virgil, eyes upon the ground, my own consultant. But are you really the sturdy tower, unshakeable? What secures your soul in stringent grip? What […]
