Her Campus Tufts would like to extend our support to the community while the police is searching for the second suspect at large, 19-year-old Dzhokar Tsarnaev, a Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School graduate and UMass Dartmouth student. After there was a report of a robbery near the MIT campus last night, MIT police officer Sean Collier, 26, responded, was gunned down, and died shortly after at Massachusettes General Hospital. There then proceeded to be a car jacking and intense car chase through Cambridge into Watertown. Reports say explosives were being thrown out of the car windows. Tufts students have reported hearing two loud "BOOMS" that could have been some of those explosives. Shoot out in Watertown neighborhood left Marathon Bombing suspect #1, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, dead. There is now an ongoing search for the second suspect in Watertown, and all residents in the Boston area are being encouraged to stay inside. Please stay safe Jumbos, and keep up your strength!

UPDATE: As of approximately 8:50pm today Dzhokar Tsarnaev is in custody after being found very injured and covered in blood in a Watertown family's boat. He is now being transported to Mt. Auburn hospital. 

1. If you have a job, or internship, tell your supervisor the dates of your vacation NOW.

By this time in spring most collegiettes probably know if they will be working or interning this summer. (If you know you’re not – then skip ahead to tip #2!) For those of you who will have full or part time jobs this summer, it is imperative that your supervisor is made aware that you want to travel ASAP. The last thing you want to do is tell your boss a day before you’re leaving that you will be out of town for the next week. If you are only working a couple of days a week you should try to rework your schedule so that you could travel for a super long weekend – that way taking time off isn’t necessary.

2. Start saving. 

It is hard to plan out exactly how much money you will spend when traveling. You have to consider what you might buy at the airport, or in a gift shop, or as a quick snack while you’re touring a beautiful city. Want a ballpark estimate on how much spending money you will need? Check out Contiki Vacations' guide. You will still want to keep yourself from running out of money during your vacation, though, so start saving now!

With St. Patrick's day right around the corner, collegiette's around the world are probably searching for the best ways to use green in their makeup on that fun day. Well, look no further! The tips below will give you a range of options for how to use green in your St. Patty's day makeup.

Eyeliner:

There are many things you can do with green eyeliners. If you want to use a pencil liner, then you can go for a more subtle look by lining your lower water line and tight-line. To make the color pop more you can also line your upper and lower lash lines and use a pencil brush to blend out the liner. If you want to go for a dramatic look, try to find a green liquid liner and create a thick winged out line on your upper lash line. (To get a bit cute with it, draw a 4-leaf clover at the end of the wing on the side of your face!)

Mascara:

Did you know that over 65% of people consider an attractive smile a romantic turn on? Or that 75% of people believe that a beautiful smile leads to better self-esteem? Well, if getting perfectly white teeth is something you are striving for, then NovaWhite Professional At-Home Teeth Whitening System is for you!

NovaWhite was ranked top 10 in its category by AOL, but why just believe a website? Believe me.

I have been trying out this product for about a month now and all I can say is WOW. I have never tried a teeth whitening system that not only made my teeth dramatically whiter, but also caused my mouth and teeth absolutely no soreness or pain. What I would do is fill my self-molded trays with a small amount of the whitening gel and then place the trays in my mouth for 45 minutes to an hour. During this time I would – you know – browse the Internet, maybe get some homework done, etc., etc. By the time about an hour had gone by I would remove the trays, swish some water around my mouth, and -viola - my teeth looked noticeably whiter! Over the course of one month, I used this product about four times and by the end of the process even my friends were asking how my teeth looked so much whiter.
