  As someone who signed up to take Astronomy solely to fulfill a non-lab science requirement, I did not expect to truly get anything else out of the class except for some sort of basic knowledge on moon phases and stars. To my disbelief, my friends and I have come to love this class, as well as the newest club on campus, the Space Club. The Club currently has a small cult-like following, but hopefully as they get more known, more people will get involved.   READ MORE

  I can’t believe how fast my senior spring is flying back. It seems like just yesterday that we got back from JanPlan break. With three midterms this week, I thought it would be a good idea to procrastinate and reminisce about my favorite Colby trends, or the items that the classic Colby student has. I’ve even gained an appreciation for many of these items, including subarus. Don’t tell my friends I said that!   1. Bean Boots. Before I came to Colby, my father was the only person besides a catalogue model I’d ever seen sporting these boots.

So for those who love films, but who can’t get out to Sundance, I’ve got the inside scoop and a quick review of some fabulous movies I saw while I was out there. READ MORE
