The list is out- or rather, hanging from trees on campus: Floralia 2012 will be featuring New Boyz, Araabmuzik, Bearstronaut, Wicked Peach, Take Care, Shake the Baron, and Brotherhood of Thieves. At first glance, I was befuddled by this list and knew it was time to do some research.
The Brotherhood of Thieves is a rock band with four members, formed at the University of Hartford...

Television and radio networks only play 8-10 second sound bites of policy, and bloggers across the country say whatever they want, whenever they want. Besides bloggers, the election of 2012 has to face the challenges of Twitter chatter by the clueless and the involved. Yesterday, Thursday, Hilary...

After studying abroad in Rome last spring, I have had the urge to take a trip somewhere. Nothing makes me more excited that getting on a train or plane to begin a voyage to somewhere unknown. The combination of this newfound love and Pinterest (I am obsessed), has led me to think outside the box and consider places I would not have thought of before.

It has almost been a week since last Sunday's Oscar ceremonies, which has given me time to resonate about the best and worst dressed.
