But aside from that, at least for this collegiette, college is certainly turning out to be a whole new world of action-packed fabulous. ...

I take it by now you’ve settled into your new classes and have said your official goodbyes to summer. With the farewell to summer comes autumn with its crisp leaves, pumpkin spice lattes, and the Fall Television Lineup, of course! Here’s a list of what’s on now, what to look forward to, and what to skip out on. The Ever-So-Popular NBC lineup Parks and Recreation: For a show that snuck in under the radar in its first season, Parks and Rec has definitely risen to stardom at a rapid pace.

	Dear Freshmen: A guide to Boston dining By Alicia Lazzaro October 1, 2012 - 9:25pm Dear freshmen, Welcome to Emerson College! Although I am a Junior now, I remember my Freshmen year like it was yesterday. Besides getting used to the hectic schedule that is an Emerson student’s life, getting used to Boston is just as important. It can be overwhelming at first, but you’ll discover that this city has something for everyone. I could advise you on things like staying out of the Common at one a.m. by yourself, or to ignore the creepy old men on the T, but I think those things go without being said. So what else can I talk about? Food, of course. READ MORE

	Her Campus Emmy Nominations By Kelly M. Roderick September 23, 2012 - 2:24pm Most Ridiculous Hour of Television This category is neither good nor bad, but rather denotes one show that is (or has become) the least grounded in reality. Gasps, laughs (or face palms) run rampant. The nominees are: 1. Glee 2. Happy Endings 3. Grey’s Anatomy 4. Community 5. Revenge WINNER: I’m going to have to go with “Glee” on this one. “Community” gives you laughs, “Revenge” gives you gasps and “Grey’s Anatomy” gives you face palms, but leave it to “Glee” to give you all three during 1 hour.
