	Rams Honor 9/11 Victims Following bin Laden's Death By Sarah Ramirez May 8, 2011 - 2:00pm It was a memorable ending to Spring Weekend that no one could have predicted. On Sunday, May 1st, rumors slowly rippled and then erupted that Osama bin Laden, head of the terrorist organization Al Qaeda and mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, had been killed by American forces. By the time President Barack Obama confirmed the reports in a televised speech, word of spontaneous gatherings across the Rose Hill campus had spread via Facebook. READ MORE
	NYC Bucket List: The Seven By Claire Cumberland May 7, 2011 - 5:39pm A wise woman once said, “The essence of pleasure is spontaneity.” However, the essence of a Bucket List is not spontaneity. As I keep blogging about my adventures in NYC, I keep getting further and further away from my original goal. I’m hardly crossing things off my list, but I feel like I’m having just as many adventures as I would with the list. Things to do just keep falling into my lap! Such is the nature of New York City I suppose. There’s always something exciting just waiting around the corner! READ MORE

	NYC Bucket List: Orchestra Seats By Claire Cumberland April 9, 2011 - 12:27pm In New York City, the student ID is a beautiful thing. Any Fordham student can attest to the magical powers that this rectangular piece of plastic seems to possess. Don’t believe me? Test it out on a around some of Fordham Road’s colorful stores or Arthur Ave eateries (or drinkeries, if you know what I mean). I’ve been consistently surprised by the economic influence of my student ID. It seems like the more people I show it to, the more money I save. Bam- ten percent off my vanilla latte at Palumbo’s. Bam- ten percent off my boots at Dr. Jay’s for Ladies. It actually feels like highway robbery. READ MORE

Oh my God did he just text me?! No! It’s just an alert that class starts in 5 minutes. Oh he texted me! “Want 2 meet fo lnch afta yo class girl?” Finally, he texted me! What should I say?

	NYC Bucket List: The Strand Bookstore By Claire Cumberland March 26, 2011 - 9:52pm I’m about to say the four most gratifying words that a bibliophile can possibly hear: 18 miles of books. Close your mouths and stop drooling, nerds! Hypocritical, I know, because it took me a few minutes to recover from fantasizing about running through an 18-mile field, looking at book after book after book after book. The most beautiful ending to this daydream is the fact that it’s actual reality. In New York City, there exists a magical land where every literature geek can make their wildest dreams come: The Strand Bookstore. READ MORE
	Getting Back Into the Spring of Things By Sarah Ramirez March 25, 2011 - 10:24am I have bad news, collegiettes™, and I’m not talking about the snow we had this week.

Still, the readjustment to real-life can be kind of tough. Now that you’ve had a week to ease back into school, it’s time to settle into academia. Here’s your Her Campus survival guide to get over your spring break hangover! READ MORE
