By Sanah Faroke, Staff [email protected] Behold! We have entered the ‘week of death,’ i.e. the week before finals week. We’ve entered the dome of late night strategy sessions, unhealthy food choices, and nocturnal raccoon eyes covered over with concealer. Wait, is that just me? Well, Katniss and I might be BFFs because I feel like […]
Read More →By Sanah Faroke, Staff [email protected] When I took my core classes at the beginning of my college career, I pulled all nighters studying for my exams for days at a time. I made immense study guides, until my TA told me that my 32-page guide was equivalent to a grad student’s. My memorization isn’t the […]
Read More →By Sanah Faroke, Staff [email protected] The first job I applied to was for a temp position at a Barnes and Noble bookstore in my hometown. I was terrified about the interview process and I tend to scare myself by doubting my qualifications, but once I got in there, I was hired on the spot. I […]

I’ll wear flip-flops and I’ll hide under beach umbrellas, and the pool will become my second home. As a kid, I thought […]
Read More →By Sanah Faroke, Staff Writer @sanahfaroke Typically for spring break, I go home. Don’t get me wrong, it’s actually amazing. I get to see my family and my friends and drive my own car and not deal with schoolwork and oh, did I tell you I’m from Miami? Basically, I live where everyone vacations. There’s […]
Read More →By Sanah Faroke, Staff Writer @sanahfaroke I’m addicted to coffee. The first time I had a drop of coffee, I think the world literally stopped for a split second. It was earth shattering. Now, when I wake up, I can’t live without coffee. And I’m not alone, it is a $30 billion industry after all. […]
Read More →By Sanah Faroke, Staff Writer @sanahfaroke Before I went to school and before I had any friends, my mom was my best friend.

Read More →By Sanah Faroke @sanahfaroke More often, we notice people holding hands as they walk down Newbury Street or sneak kisses while waiting for the T. Either you’re disgusted by it or you’re the one snogging up a storm. We didn’t see it coming, but Valentine’s Day is nearly here, and just like that, love sneaked up […]
