several things i wish i knew [lifestyle]
By Grace Ma | December 3There’s so much I wish I had known before going into college. Not because I didn’t get advice—I received so much advice, and most of it ended up being garbage.

night at the museum [lifestyle]
By Sara Harley | November 19I see London; I see France; I see a pair of old, faded blue-and-white striped boxers peeking out of some pure-math-super-nerd’s sweatpants, as he reaches even higher on the whiteboard, working on a problem that probably takes more patience than I am willing to expend writing about it.

By Elaine Rand | October 30During my recent re-entry into full-time schooling after eight years as a professional ballet dancer, I’ve been greeted by many small culture shocks: new slang I missed while spending my days in the studio, the looming presence of AI, the casual nihilism that comes with classmates who can’t remember ...

By Merissa Underwood | October 29My move to Providence in August of this year began with a humbling initiation: the worst haircut I’ve ever received.

By Merissa Underwood | October 8Walking through the Van Wickle gates on Convocation Day held a similar sensation to competing in Miss USA.
