For the Hungry, Late-Night Snack By Carina McCallum Photograph by Quinn Bryant There are only so many sugar cookies and cupcakes one student can take from the dining hall before dealing with the age-old dilemma: how to kill that late-night, sweet craving with only a dorm room and a microfridge? For the average college student, a trek to Insomnia Cookies might not always be the best move, and TruFru can become a bit too costly. Sometimes, the best option is to kill your hunger

By Lulu Schloss Graphic by Charlie Tran Admitted Terrier Day is an opportunity for newly accepted students to tour Boston University and get a real feel for the campus. This is unlike a normal tour, because there are college-specific events hosted and a large pool of new students to meet.

It’s a common impulse to capture moments on camera, but why? Grace LaPlaca Photograph by Mia Bianco Stand at a viewpoint, any viewpoint worth standing at, and you will see them: arms raised, phones tilted, faces half-lit by the screen held between themselves and the sky. They are filming a sunset. So is everyone beside them. So, probably, are you. The instinct feels almost biological. Something beautiful is happening, and we reach for a device to capture it. The question wor

Dressing Older Won’t Help Us Grow Up Any Faster By Samantha Rosenberg Photograph by Carina McCallum From blunt bobs to oversized wool coats, young adults are increasingly dressing older than they are. We as humans are biologically wired to seek control and authority, and one way to achieve this is dressing older than our age. I find this to be both completely valid and absolutely ridiculous.

Problematic Situationship or Travel Goldmine By Layan Boulon Graphic by Katie-Ann Small “Be a traveler. Not a tourist.” Anthony Bourdain's wise words probably weren’t talking about downloading tinder upon landing in your next travel destination, but I would argue you should. Traveling can be euphoric.

Does Music Help or Hurt Our Heartbreak? By Gianna Ucci Every Saturday night, just before the city goes to sleep, I find myself walking home after a night with my friends—with the city in front of me and my headphones on. I see people leaving the library late, couples going home together, friends trying desperately to “call it a night,” yet despite the lives surrounding me, I find myself feeling more alone. “Superstar” by the Carpenters plays as I cross the street, and I beg
