	Perfect for a Picnic By Alana Dolan April 30, 2013 - 5:39pm On a gorgeous spring day who really wants to be indoors? I know I don’t! So rather than grabbing a quick meal from Lower or Mac and eating it in the café, grab a blanket, some friends and some food and head out to one of these locations on campus for a picnic. Upper Campus By the tree outside of Gonzaga- This location is almost picturesque with the sunlight pouring in through the branches. The tree also provides just enough shade so you are not too hot on extremely sunny days. Behind O’Connell House- You’ll be completely out of the way of the flying Frisbees, the whiffle ball players and anyone else who may be out on the lawns of upper. READ MORE
	How to Get "Thrift Shop" Ready for Modstock By Morgan Gibbons April 30, 2013 - 12:00am Okay, so you are ready to “pop some tags” and you only have “$20 in your pocket” (college budget… obvi). Are you ready to make your outfit “f*ckin awesome?!” That’s right BC, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’s performance at Modstock is closely approaching and I am sure many of you want to know how to get “Thift Shop” ready. Of course we all know a few bold friends you will seek a signature leopard fur “grandpa’s coat” like the one that Macklmore wears in the music video, but some of us may not be so bold. Doesn’t mean you can't look fabulous though! READ MORE
	It's Whatever, I'm a Birthday Btch By Maddie Schmitz April 30, 2013 - 12:00am I’m really not that much of a princess (insert my father’s scoff), but there is one day of the year when I can’t help but indulge in delicious spoiled btchiness, marked by demands for attention and cake and glitter and brunch. This day, of course, is my birthday. I love my birthday so much that I plan for it basically year-round. Over the past two decades (how did I age so rapidly?), I have accumulated a list of pretty consistent demands for my day of, well, me. It’s nothing crazy, like I don’t expect trips to Antigua or Cartier bracelets, but any self-respecting girl should feel free to pamper herself on her special day. If people are bugged by your unprecedented (and temporary) egocentricity, just turn to them, lower your aviator sunnies, and say...

	My Love-Hate Relationship with Rain Boots By Gabby Alleyne April 29, 2013 - 12:00am They say that April showers bring May flowers. Let me be the first to say that enduring those April showers is no fun. Sporting a noisy, puffy rain jacket to class? No, thank you. My hair’s permanent state of dampness? Not my thing. Waking up to gloomy, stormy skies? Doesn’t exactly get me psyched for class. Wanting to relax in my bed all day to catch up on Girls, yet feeling obligated to trudge through the rain just to sit through my lackluster 9 AM? Blah. READ MORE
	Be Styled Offers Pampering with Perfection By Morgan Gibbons April 29, 2013 - 12:00am You are greeted by a sweet and sophisticated staff of stylists upon arrival. You choose a hairstyle based off your hair color and length from an iPad. You get your hair washed and massaged, which by the way is a perfect form of stress relief as finals approach. Everyone gets offered water (regular or cucumber), champagne or coffee as well as candy as they sit and get styled. And let me say, all of this takes place in a spotless sleek salon of white and baby blue that looks like it was imported straight from a scene of “Gossip Girl”. I seriously thought someone would have to pinch me after my experience at the newly-opened Be Styled blow-dry bar in Chestnut Hill... was this real life? READ...
	It’s Not Me, It’s You: Breaking Up With A Guy You’re Not Dating By Briana Galluccio April 29, 2013 - 12:00am Hey you. Yeah, you, I was talking to you. I find it a little sad that it’s necessary for me to break up with you, because we aren’t even dating. And we never will date. READ MORE
	Review: No One Belongs Here More Than You By Meaghan Leahy April 28, 2013 - 2:21pm One hot and humid night last August, I wandered into a Barnes & Noble to revel in the air conditioning. While walking through the alphabetical-by-last-name rows of fiction and literature, I found a favorite book of mine, No One Belongs Here More Than You by Miranda July. Upon opening it, a handwritten note fell out—something I would expect to find in a used or independent bookstore, not in this massive chain franchise. READ MORE
