Music Blog: 'Tis the Season! 12/19/2012	'Tis The Season Fa La La La La La La La La Mistletoe, Christmas cookies, ginger bread houses and chestnuts roasting on an open fire, are just a few of the many infamous holiday traditions. Though you may think you are now set with your holiday festivities, you are sadly mistaken. No holiday tradition is complete without the Christmas music! So here at HC Suffolk we compiled a list of some of the most beloved and traditional holiday tunes, but we didn’t stop just there. This traditional playlist has a bit of a spin to it. It includes artists who are near and dear to our hearts. Some of them are before our time, some have nearly raised us and made us the girls we are today and others are new and just beginning win us over. And remember, “The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!”
NHL Lockout 101 12/7/2012	Calling all puck bunnies! Surprise, surprise, there is more to hockey than toe drags, dangles, and sexy sweaty boys. In case you haven’t noticed, the National Hockey League has yet to start the 2012-2013 season due to the mysterious “lockout.” Sounds exciting right? Like somewhere all the hockey studs of the world are just hanging out together waiting for you to find them. While that would be nice, it unfortunately isn’t the case. The NHL agreed to a labor contract for seven years. This September the contract ended and, naturally, all H-E- double hockey sticks broke loose. In that contract it was agreed that the players earned 57% of the revenue. Seems fair, given all the blood, sweat, and sexiness they out into the sport right? Well the owners (guys in suits) wanted to reduce that number to about 47%, and obviously the players weren’t too keen on that. So your probably wondering if the players are being greedy, after all they are making a killing for playing a game they love. Well that might be true, except for the fact that revenue has gone up yet they are asking the players to take pay cuts. So far they have eliminated games through December 14th. That’s a total of 422 games that the fans will be missing, which is 34.3% of the entire schedule, including the New Years Day Winter Classic and the NHL 2013 All-Star Weekend, which was scheduled for January 26th and 27th.
Her Campus Suffolk Gets UNREAL! 11/16/2012	Trick or treat? Well how about both! There is a new candy on the block and its kicking artificial ingredients and preservatives to the curb! It goes by the name of UNREAL candy, and trust us it truly is unreal! UNREAL wanted to make a candy that had the same great taste as all the others, but without all the junk. So consider this candy “unjunked.” Finally, a candy we can all feel good about, even supermodel, Gisele Bundchen, agrees! So you’re probably wondering how they make candy taste the same without all the junk in them. Well here is your answer, “Our UNREALTM candies have replaced the junk in candy with good stuff: double the cacao, more peanuts, real milk, cane sugar, and organic palm fruit oil. Naturally, without all this junk, we think the candy tastes better! But UNREALTM candies also have 30% less sugar, and 60% more fiber & 250% more protein on average per serving than other leading competing brands.”
The Alternative Spring Break 10/7/2012	Tan lines surely will fade, that lingering taste of piña colada soon disappears, and eventually, the sand that clung so closely to every item in your suitcase is gone, without a trace. But, without a doubt, your memories from spring break will be everlasting. Believe it or not, some students at Suffolk actually sacrifice all of that to make a difference, not just in their own lives, but in the lives of many others as well. Rather than vacationing to a tropical island, Suffolk offers students a unique and rewarding opportunity, called Alternative Spring Break. This is a program where students give up their weeklong spring break, and travel to different destinations around the country. The trips focus on poverty relief, environmental conservation, LGBTQ issues, equal rights, and community development. Students get to participate in hands on learning, as well as forming unforgettable bonds with other students, all while making a difference. If you think you have what it takes, and are interested in participating in this life changing opportunity, you can fill out an application, and bring it to the S.O.U.L.S office, located at Donahue 209. Applications are due by 5 PM October 10th!
Freshman's Guide to Late Night Munchies 8/9/2012	Welcome to college where nobody has curfews and everybody has late night munchies. And when I say everybody, I mean everybody. The nerds who are staying up late burning calories with all that brain power, the jocks who are up late working it at the gym, the foreign students who are still thrown off by the time change, even the skinny, pretty blonde girl from down the hall who never eats in the café has to eat sometime, and last but certainly not the least munchy, the hippies….and well you all know why they’ve got the munchies. They say New York is the city that never sleeps, but us Bostonians could certainly hold our own in an insomniac duel. I mean lets be real, college students are basically zombies, we only have four years to cram in as much “studying” as we can. We’ll sleep when were dead (or graduated). So Rookies listen up, if your going to survive the late night munchies you’re going to need to know all the hot spots on campus where you can do it. Bova’s Bakery 134 Salem Street 24/7 This family owned bakery has been around since 1932! Who doesn’t dream of a bakery that is open 24/7? Bova’s is perfect for your late night cravings and a little taste of home baked goods! Felcaro Pizzeria 280 Cambridge Street Mon-Wed 7-11pm Thu-Sat 7-3am Sun8-8pm Located in the quaint neighborhood of Beacon Hill, this pizza place is always popping. Delicious pizza by the slice, that is sure to satisfy your munchies.
Edward and Jacob Who? A New Love Triangle Has Made it's Way to the Big Screen With a Bang! 3/28/2012	That’s right Twilight, move on over, The Hunger Games is here, and it’s kicking some serious vampire a**! The movie opened this past weekend and managed to rake in a womping $155 million! That’s the third largest premiere ever in terms of revenue, falling just behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 ($169.2 million) and Batman: The Dark Knight ($158.4 million). And let’s not forget that both of those were sequel films from well-established franchises. The Hunger Games took in more than twice as much as the first Twilight during opening weekend ($69.6 million). So all in all, we say not too shabby for a movie based off a book about a post apocalyptic death match, with an intended reading level of 6th grade. Looks like the odds were ever in your favor. Although The Hunger Games has no blood-sucking, sparkling vampires, or talking, short-tempered werewolves, we cant help but feel a little déjà vu when Katniss, the main character, finds herself stuck in the middle of a nasty (although we might say sultry) love triangle. She is the apple of not one, but two sets of eyes.
Beauty Blog: The Best One Night Stand You'll Ever Have 3/22/2012	Although your pink, purple and blue tips may make you the most scene girl at the party on Friday night, they unfortunately wont get you much respect at the office Monday morning. But don’t worry ladies, there is an easy way to be chic and trendy one day, and professional and reserved the next! Celebrities from Katy Perry to Kate Bosworth, Lauren Conrad to Lady Gaga and Dakota Fanning to Rihanna have dyed their tips bold and daring colors, but lets be honest they have the time and money to get it washed away the next day if need be, well now so can you! Kevin Murphy, a world-renowned fashion hair stylist, has come up with a way to effortlessly dye your hair fun and bright colors and wash it out just as easily. He calls his product “Color Bug.” It has been described as hair shadow, for according to Murphy, applying hair color should be just as easy as applying makeup. Well now it is! Color Bug is wipe on-wipe off color, meant to last only one night. Color Bug is available in Pink, Purple and Orange and can be found online for around $20 If $20 is still a stretch, or if you need more color variety and your still dying for that edgy style, you can temporarily dye your hair with oil pastels! These can be purchased for around $3 at any art supply store. All you have to do is dampen your hair and rub on the oil pastel (works best if you lay the hair on a flat surface) and voila! Trust me, this WILL be the best one night-stand you’ll ever have!

Discover the Hidden Gems of Newbury Street, While Maintaining a College Budget! 2/1/2012	Tis’ no longer the season, the holidays have come to a screeching halt and spring semester has sprung. But don’t let the cold weather fool you; spring is just around the corner! Spring is one of the most important seasons for a girl; you’ve been hiding all winter behind big sweaters, jackets, hats and scarves, and now its time to show a little skin again. And don’t forget, the spring season can lead you right into a summer of love(s). With all that being said, it may be time to brush up your wardrobe a bit. Get rid of those jeans that you never wear, the hand-me-down sweater that has never fit quite right, and that dress that you never are going to have the opportunity to wear! Luckily for us Suffolk girls, we are in the heart of Boston and as many of you know Newbury Street is basically the shopping capitol of our city. Now of course Newbury is overflowing with high-end designers such as Burberry, Giorgio Armani, Chanel and countless others. But if you don’t have the money for these boutiques and you know the street well, then you’ll know to walk right past these, only to find stores where you can get more bang for your buck! These are otherwise known as the hidden gems of Newbury Street, and there’s one for every type of girl, no matter what your spending outlook or personal style may be! If walking right past all those designer stores, with not so much as a glance in, is a torturous struggle, and out of the norm for you then you might want to try some of these slightly less expensive, but still high-end stores.
