“Welcome to Hell Week”–– The four words that every Navy SEAL in training dreads more than anything in the world. The fourth week of basic training for the SEALs is given this fitting name. It entails five days and five nights of lugging heavy rubber Zodiacs, performing timed exercises, runs, and crawls through mud flats. Trainees clock in a maximum of four hours of sleep...

As the end of the semester is now upon us, it is difficult for many of us to understand how the time passes so quickly here at Bowdoin. It feels like just yesterday it was move in day, with nervous first years saying good-bye to parents, and excited upperclassmen reuniting with friends from far away. But now, eight months have elapsed and we are all entering new chapters of our lives. For many...

Which do you want first- the good news or the bad news? Ok, good news first! Ivies was amazing. It's May so the weather will slowly be improving and summer is right around the corner! Bad news? Before we get to enjoy anything a break, we have the end of classes and finals. I know everyone is going to be spending long hours in H-L, Hatch, Druck, etc. shortly, but I also know that at any time,...

Think about that one person in your life who you turn to for answers. That person who understands the way you think, who helps you make and achieve your goals, teaches you life lessons and isn’t afraid to put you back in line when you make a mistake. Maybe it’s your mom or favorite teacher-- for me, it was my high school hockey coach, Brano Stankovsky. Brano was more...

Have you ever wondered what would it be like to hear the stories of Bowdoin women who are outside of your friend group? The stories of the woman who starred in the fall musical. The starting basketball point guard. That quiet woman who sat in front of you in your government class. How do they feel? What are their experiences like? The good, the bad and the ugly. Experiences with men, women...

Oh Ivies, how I’ve waited for you! It’s something like the NESCAC pseudo-version of Coachella-- without the creepy Tupac hologram. But all resurrections of the greatest rapper aside, Ivies is definitely the most anticipated musical event of the year at Bowdoin. And what better way to celebrate this occasion than dressing for spring (finally)? My boyfriend contends that no one is...

This week, the cold weather reclaimed whatever ground spring attempted to make in thawing out the frozen landscape and students’ end of the year stress. Students were driven inside by the unforgiving rain only to realize how much work they actually have and just how much of it they neglected in their pursuit of some elusive warmth. With Ivies approaching, there is a reluctant acceptance...

Spring has sprung!
For the past few days, at least... Knowing Maine, we will return to the 45° weather in a couple days. Nonetheless, it is officially late April and therefore, it is spring! Put away those puffy jackets and salt-crusted boots and break out your flats and light jackets. However, what should you do when you are dying to wear a sundress but the forecast calls for...

Sorry ladies, but the UK’s Daily Mail just reported that ‘The Ridiculously Photogenic Guy’ is officially off the market. If you’re not familiar with the story of Zeddie Little… let me fill you in.
Little became an internet sensation after this photo was taken during a 10k race in Charleston, South Carolina.
Can you spot him? While most of the runners sport...

The Vagina Monologues. The name alone sometimes gets strange looks and apprehensive comments. I must admit that before I came to Bowdoin, I had never even heard of The Vagina Monologues, let alone thought that I would ever participate in the show. However, all of that changed after I saw last year's performance and my perception was forever altered. After hearing the various monologues...
