  As the year winds down, we seem to be spending more time quality time with the library than with the Main Green. But, this whole concept of “looking good” is easier said than done when you just spent two hours writing a paper, four hours studying for your calculus exam, and five hours cramming for Orgo. Honestly, your only worry at this moment has nothing to do with your outfit and everything to do with how many coffees you can buy without going broke. But, it is completely possible to look put together and get those A’s that you deserve! Here are a few tips to ace that effortless look! 1. Athletic Chic! READ MORE

  Caroline Payumo, 2013  What inspired this look today? Now that the weather's nice, I can't bring myself to wear pants. Ever. My wardrobe mostly consists of plain tops and slightly more interesting bottoms, so I just throw on whatever I get my hands on first.   Where did you get the pieces of your outfit? My top is from this random store called Bob's in Seekonk, my skirt is from Unique, a local thrift store in Jersey, and my sandals are so old I couldn't even tell you where I got them from.  Where do you shop?

              Whether or not you have a fantastic internship, it’s time to start thinking about ways to unwind after this crazy intense semester. With freedom fast approaching, it can be fun to entertain notions about what the months ahead will hold. Here are a few things that you might look forward to, in lieu of stressing out about homework and exams: Number One: Picnics Who says that these are old fashioned? I joined the Brown Christian Fellowship today for a nice, relaxing picnic on Pembroke field.

    While I was scrolling through my Facebook feed and generally pretending that finals were not a week or so away, I stumbled across an article from the NY Post entitled “I gave up modeling for God.” Curious and eager to procrastinate further, I clicked the link and saw a girl that I vaguely remember cheering for during the Victoria Secret Fashion show a few short years ago. During the modeling competition, she clearly had the best walk and really took over the runway. I quickly texted my friends who were also dedicated to watching the Victoria Secret Fashion Show every winter. I really love Kylie! I think she is going to win. READ MORE

  I've always had trouble conjuring up the childlike excitement that is supposed to characterize spring weekend. Perhaps this is why, as Kendrick Lamar's "Pussy and Patrón" echoed across the main green, I was thinking about, not pussy or Patrón, but Louis Althusser's theory of interpellation. READ MORE
