	Appreciating Beauty By Becca Atkinson March 4, 2013 - 3:20pm My Baroque Rome professor took my class on a field trip to admire Caravaggio’s works in three churches in Rome. It was 9:30 am, so many of us leaned against marble pillars and sat in wooden pews to alleviate our lack of sleep from Wednesday’s festivities (who doesn’t love 1 Euro shots named after the characters in Harry Potter?) We listened to our professoressa, groggy yet intrigued. Some of us took out our fancy DLR cameras, obvious gifts from parents. Others jotted down furiously typed notes onto our iPhones. We listened as best as anyone from our generation knows how to listen: with our gadgets always within fingers’ reach. READ MORE

	Ask Miss Colgate: Lost in Hookup Culture By Colgate Contributor February 21, 2013 - 5:42pm Honest advice from a Colgate collegiette! I have been seeing the same guy since the end of last semester, but I’m not quite sure where we stand. We hookup almost every weekend, text a lot, and we have soberly watched movies together a few times. I am also 99% sure he hasn’t hooked up with anyone else since we started hanging out. I want to take things to the next level (like be boyfriend/girlfriend or at least put some sort of label on it), but I’m not sure how he’d react and I don’t want to make things weird. What should I do? READ MORE

	On Abroad By Becca Atkinson February 18, 2013 - 4:08pm As I make my daily walk through Piazza San Pietro, gazing up at the columns that enclose the square and the dome of the basilica touched with gold sunlight, I pass tourists from every continent (except Antarctica, because like, who lives there?). The Piazza is nearly inundated with Japanese, Chinese, French, German, and Italian tourists, all taking selfies with their loved ones in front of the Vaticano. I can't help but imagine the caption on Instagram. I hear languages unfamiliar to me and the mix of tongues has become a background of white noise for my walk to school. READ MORE

	Late Night Cravings By Kristen Duarte February 7, 2013 - 7:44pm Nothing is worse than waking up the morning after wondering “what the f*** did I eat last night?” You feel groggy, hung-over, and greasy. Why greasy? Because of all the sh*t you ate last night. Unfortunately, this is a feeling that Colgate students are all too familiar with. With late night options like Slices, Utica Street Café, and frat or townhouse kitchens, who can resist that tasty treat? READ MORE
