	Girl Rising at BC By Caitlin Mann May 16, 2013 - 12:08pm On April 30th, Her Campus BC partnered with Women in Business at Boston College for a wonderful little mid-finals study break full of insipiring stories. We showed two films, Girl Rising and Half the Sky. These two films featuring the importance of female empowerment. As we look to empower ourselves in our future careers, we also need to consider how to help alleviate the plight of female inequality on a global scale. The first film, Half the Sky, based on the best-selling book by New York Times journalists, Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, chronicles the importance of turning oppression into opportunities for women around the world.

	Paying Homage to the Olsen Twins By Maddie Schmitz May 11, 2013 - 12:00am Nobody really wants child stars to grow up.

	Open Letter to My Ex-Boyfriend By Anonymous BC Girl May 10, 2013 - 12:00am It’s almost been a whole year: a year since you’ve held me, smiled at me, and made me smile. All this time has passed, and yet I still feel the need to say this. I know you’ve moved on; I saw your recent “in a relationship” post on Facebook and my heart stopped for about half a second.
