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.  READ MORE

As a freshman last year, I was thoroughly relieved to hear about the magical Piece by Piece Moving Company that stores all of your things over the summer until you return to campus in the fall.  It was the perfect solution to my mother’s many phone calls about what I was going to do with all of my stuff, “You are NOT bringing your entire room home to Tampa.” READ MORE

Paying Homage to the Olsen Twins

  Nobody really wants child stars to grow up.  We want to keep them bottled up, caged in with their hair bows, squeaky voices, and baby teeth.  It’s creepy, really, the way that people identify full-grown adults so frequently by the persona they inhabited decades ago on Cable TV.  In so many instances, this obsession leads the actors and actresses themselves to go haywire; see Lindsay Lohan, see Macaulay Culkin.  They were such normal kids, until we told them they couldn’t be anything else.

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.  But once the shock had faded, and the nostalgia and sadness had settled down within me, I started thinking about my life and everything I’ve accomplished since we split up.  So read carefully, darling.  This one’s for you.
