	Fall for These New TV Series By Chloe Green-Vamos September 17, 2012 - 12:00am We are only a couple of weeks into classes, yet those carefree summer days seem to be a distant memory. Our agendas are filled with essays and readings, rather than beach-going and barbeques.

Here are the new series this fall worth tuning in to week after week. READ MORE
	A Sophomore's Guide to Brighton: Living Off Campus By Lauren Tebsherany September 16, 2012 - 12:00am The day you get into college has to be one of the best days of your life. I know for me, the day I got into BC was both an incredible honor and an amazing relief. The second you read “Boston College Welcomes You!” It’s almost as if you do not have to go any further. How great is that? Once you read the fine print though, you realize an acceptance to Boston College has some downsides, if you can believe it. READ MORE

I definitely have, and I’m fairly certain other women have, too, considering how many offensive and ridiculous commercials are out there. I think these commercials are at their most absurd when they advertise products made for or targeted at women, yet use appeals that offend women and would really only entice or interest a man.

Confusing, huh? Well, not for us girls. We know exactly what we mean, but guys don’t. This can cause communication problems between you and your man.

So here are the possible confusions that you and your man may encounter and their translations: READ MORE

It’s easy to get overwhelmed and to procrastinate rather than buckling down and getting the work done ahead of time so that we don’t feel stressed.
