Boston Culture: Food and Sports
For someone who’s tired of eating at the same spots after every game By Anika Mahansaria Ring the bells: it’s officially hockey season, basketball season AND football season. There’s so much to watch and it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of games without remembering to eat or drink anything. As an avid sports fan—and someone who’s at 80% of these games—I have officially found the perfect post-game food options. Spot 1: Hub Hall It’s kind of basic but still a relia


Prioritizing Peace
By Brooke Elwell by Rhiannon Li College has a way of swallowing you whole. One minute, you’re managing everything just fine, and in the next, life feels like a series of deadlines, expectations and emotional oscillation. You wake up already tired, race through the day fueled by caffeine and obligation and still fall asleep feeling behind. Peace becomes something abstract, reserved for people who aren’t balancing exams, relationships and the quiet pressure to have it all toget


Hidden Benches
A Compilation of My Favorite Places to Reflect By Siena Vitucci by Zoe Fu One thing about my schedule is that I am constantly walking the entire span of BU’s campus from Hojo to Goodwill. If I'm not spending my time shopping for shoes on the people passing by, then I am most definitely looking for whatever the opposite of a shortcut is in attempts to feel adventurous in between endless lectures and even longer readings. Nothing is better than leaving for class a few minutes


The Truth Is, It’s Okay to Put Romance First
Protecting Friendships While Starting A New Relationship By Samantha Rosenberg Graphic by Melissa Lemieux I am so over feeling guilty when I start a new relationship. It’s a feeling that comes when I first meet someone: I start to think about them, realize I like them and will want to talk to my friends about it. A lot . It’s a consuming feeling—part of me feels like I’m betraying my friends by liking someone else and wanting to spend so much time with them. The beginning of


Headphones Off (sorry, Addison Rae!)
By Alana Lopez Graphic by Ian Nugent I got AirPods as a Christmas gift during my sophomore year of high school. Addison Rae was still fresh to the internet, and the thought that she would one day be a Grammy-nominated artist (for “Headphones On” , no less) couldn’t have been more unimaginable. I vividly remember coming back to school that January, and instinctually tugging the wires to pull my headphones off before walking into Algebra II. I’d done that exact action every day
“We aren’t built to last”
By Keira Footer But it’s fun to play pretend so I smile when you hug me and kiss the top of my head. I know I shouldn’t be here. I know this isn’t right, yet I look the other way despite what’s clearly in sight. This might end in disaster, just like it has before, but that’s so unimportant when you leave me wanting more. I miss you when you’re not around and I miss you when you’re here, cause you’re not the guy I once knew and how you feel isn’t clear. So I’ll sta

A Recap of Jacquemus Spring 2026: Paying Homage to Heritage

By Rachel Yu Graphic by Josie Zevin For his latest Paris Fashion Week collection, “Le Paysan,” renowned designer Simon Porte Jacquemus held his show at the Orangerie at Versailles—a location known for its grandeur and opulence . Yet, the central theme of the show held a conversely disparate meaning. The show begins with a young boy dressed in an all-white set, running up


Performative Male Music Epidemic
They can have their baggy jeans, tote bags and matcha, but they can’t touch my Clairo. By Olivia Prieto Graphic by Catarina Koehler To be performative, by definition, is to do something inauthentically, usually with the intention of impressing others. So when combining “performative” with “male,” what does that give us? The Performative Male, of course. Being a performative male in 2025 can be distilled down to having stereotypically feminine hobbies or interests: drinking m
