By Phoebe Stern Graphic by Catarina Koehler Whether this is your first year at BU or you're entering your last semester, we’re all in stages of growth and transition. That’s what college is all about, right? Expanding your worldview, meeting new people, exploring yourself, and the world around you. So, where does that leave our past relationships? Is it normal to feel like our high school friendships are maybe just that—high school friendships? Since coming to college, I’ve

The perfect way to spend an afternoon at BU without spending money by Siena Vitucci Photo by Diya Kapoor Boston has been so cold and mucky this semester, and I’ve got a feeling we are in for at least a few more weeks of the icy snow and salt-covered sidewalks. So if you are looking for a way to brighten an otherwise dreary winter afternoon, I recommend taking some time to appreciate the art galleries here on campus! There are so many spanning from West Campus to the GSU, and

After sitting down at an intimate roundtable with Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jessie Buckley, and Christian Bale, I spoke with the trio about reclaiming Frankenstein’s most silent character and bringing bold, modern life to “The Bride!” for a new generation.

By: Samantha McKeever Part of me wanted to follow the wind as it blew through the train station into some far-off place around the street bend. The rest of me, halfheartedly existing in something you could call the present, wanted to stay right in this spot. I watched myself, pathetically, from the other side of the tracks: using ghosts as anchors in the sea of time, crying only in dark rooms and in the rain, wearing too-strong perfume to mask the scent of shadows, fo

A look into the unspoken Boston etiquette of snowstorms, space savers, and intense battles over shoveled street parking. By Stephanie Ahn Photo by Serenidy Ryan Snow was not a common sight for a born and raised Californian like me — as you can imagine, especially in cities. The urban environment was just not constructed for that climate. Take LA, for example, which has seen its rainiest season yet; the streets are continuously flooding because the architecture wasn’t built fo

How these one-sided relationships are really affecting the youth’s mental health. by Isabella Hobbs In the age of social media, parasocial relationships are not a new conversation. Psychologists for years have been warning of the harm of these one-sided obsessions. Parasocial relationships used to consist of fictional characters or Hollywood starlets. Though still negative, these obsessions didn’t hold the same weight they do now. Social media platforms — especially ones th

By: Hansuja Kandadi I’ve been looking at the moon closer, It looked a little different back home, I’ve noticed. Not the shape nor the color, Just something of the way, it shimmered. Don’t misunderstand, It glows ever so beautifully. Upon this foreign land, It couldn’t have shined more brightly. But there is something missing, Something only I’ve seen. Nobody else can know, Nobody else but me. Perhaps it’s because I’m the same as the moon, I shine brighter now,

Scratch the Itch and Make Your Daydream a Reality—You Won’t Be a Student Forever By Tiffany Wong Graphic by Yeyoung Jang Too often do we tell ourselves that this is going to be the year that the trip finally makes it out of the group chat, only for it to—surprise!—stay uncrossed on your bucket list, never to be brought up again. And of course, it’s understandable. College is intense, after all, with everyone desperate for internships and callbacks for that one job before they

How Designers Are Reacting to Cultural Trends By Catherine Ursitti Graphic by Katie King New York Fashion Week has drawn to an end, setting the stage for the year ahead as designers have debuted their Fall/Winter 2026 collections. The seasonal forecast defining this year's aesthetic direction involves an expanding desire for individuality, bridging the gap between intentional boldness and classic luxury. Statement pieces are back and better than ever. Brooches return as influ

By Olivia Prieto Graphic by Katie-Ann Small The Super Bowl halftime show is one of, if not the most classic American sporting events there are. Millions of people worldwide tune in every February for the game. It's a great opportunity to host parties, gather with friends, and bond over an all-American gathering. I just had one concern this year: I really wish the players didn’t interrupt Bad Bunny’s concert to play more football. I wholeheartedly believe that the entire reas
