Spring is here!  This means that in addition to the wardrobe changes and seasonal colds, spring brings day-drinking back to BC’s campus!  But that Rubi and Diet Coke really don’t cut it when you’re outside and the sun is shining instead of sitting around your common room table.  So here are some ideas to bring your spring day-drinks up to par: READ MORE

Hottest Nail Trend: BC Color Collection


By Morgan Gibbons

Whenever I treat myself to a manicure and pedicure, I can’t help but look at the bottom of the polish bottles to check out the creative names.  I truly have wondered who the quirky, fun, and somewhat dirty-minded geniuses are that can come up with these polish color names that any girl feels she can relate to.  Over time, favorite brands such as OPI, Essie, and Shellac have had different collections inspired by travel, celebrities, holidays, and seasons.  Well, if I ever got the opportunity to somehow major in nail polish naming than I would definitely come up with a Boston College Collection.

With the birth of BC Confessions, the issue of eating on campus has been called into light.  When scanning this page on Facebook, one sees comments like: “Since coming to BC, I haven’t eaten more than 400 calories a day;” “I think I might have an eating disorder;” and “I’m only eating once a day until I lose weight. I’m fully aware of the harm I’m doing to my body, but it’s worth it.”  Many more students have anonymously confessed to their own battles issues with food on this page.  I spoke with BC nutritionist Sheila Tucker as well as fellow BC students about these issues, their views on this topic, and ways you can get help for yourself or a friend.

  This year, I have developed an almost unhealthy addiction to brunch.  What a special meal:  halfway between breakfast and lunch, food that includes the best of both, and delicious brunch-themed drinks.  Whoever invented brunch has my undying gratitude. It has been my goal to try as many brunch places my last semester here.  The following are some of the places I have tried and love.  They are in and around Boston, and some are pretty close to BC, which makes getting there very easy.

Nail Art - Can It Be Done?

I am always amazed by the nail art that I see in beauty blogs and on Pinterest.  But at the same time, I wonder if a person like me, with very average artistic skills, can actually make my nails look that good.  So, this Easter break my roommate and I pulled up a few of our favorite designs and made our best attempts at replicating the looks.  Some of them turned out close to the desired product, and others went horribly wrong.
