Picture this: You’re strolling through Barnes & Noble in hopes of finding your first read of the summer. The choice is yours as required reading has been left behind with the end of another semester. The excitement of this literary freedom is overwhelming – What genre should you pick? Are you in the mood for a lighthearted beach read, or do you want to try something more serious?...

Have you ever wondered what guys really think about girls? If you’re like any normal girl, chances are you’ve asked yourself or your friends this question at least once or twice. After going up to random guys in Lower and asking them what the one thing was that they wished girls knew, I realized that guys aren’t nearly as complex as they’d like us to think they are. Yes,...

How many seniors do you know doing JVC after they graduate in May? Every spring, I inevitably find out that a few of my graduating friends have plans to do service with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps. In fact, BC was the most represented alma mater serving in the JVC in 2010! Coming from a Jesuit university, this should not come as a surprise. But I’m always so impressed when I hear that...

I think it’s safe to say that the Nineties are just about everyone in our generation’s favorite decade. With Saved by the Bell on Netflix and Third Eye Blind and Nelly selling out a couple weeks ago, all signs point to yes, the Nineties are back!

I think it’s safe to say that smart phones have taken over the world. Or at least the Heights. So, I talked to senior Steve Robinson, who will be working for Jumptap after interning there last summer. What’s Jumptap? According to their website it is “the leader in target mobile advertising,” aka hello app advertising! Robinson shares four apps that are (...

Let’s face it – finals are stressful, all-consuming monsters that cause even the most optimistic Collegiette to turn into a complaining and cheerless pessimist. Between cramming for exams, focusing on acing a group presentation, or attempting to write a fabulously coherent research paper, who has time to smile? I’m here to let you know that sometimes you need to take...

Sandy and Danny of Grease. Allie and Noah of The Notebook. Baby and Johnny of Dirty Dancing. These are just some of my favorite couples that all started off as summer romances. Sure, you may not be looking for love, but as the temperature rises so does our longing for some summer lovin’. Whether it be a fling or the real thing, there surely is a phenomenon of summer love, and as our summer...

Finals week is upon us collegiettes, but don’t fret. We’ve got a collection of study playlists to help you get through the caffeine filled, sleep deprived, and library dwelling days. If you’re like me, you can’t listen to songs with words while you are studying because you end up singing along and/or wanting to dance. As much comic relief as an...

As a rising senior, instead of focusing on finals and summer plans, my thoughts have been distracted imagining my next and final year at Boston College. The pain from not getting a mod is still very real, but I can’t help but daydream about tailgating for football games, going out every night, and finally taking a Capstone! Not to mention all of the cool events happening for BC’s...

That time of the semester where you become best friends with the library and caffeine and begin to lose touch with your actual friends and your bed is upon you. That’s right collegiettes – it’s finals week.
Your desk begins to be piled with psychology textbooks and finance notes and Italian flashcards. Your body becomes filled with iced chai lattes, caramel machiattos, Red...
