	Movies to Look For By Lindsay Simon September 22, 2011 - 2:59pm If there’s one thing I could do each and every day for the rest of my life it would be to go to the movies. Since my freshman year, I have rarely had the chance to do so while in school -- most of my movie frequenting has either been over vacations or during summer breaks. I will occasionally rent something on iTunes if it’s a film I’ve been dying to see for a while, and missed out on while it was in theaters, but otherwise I really can’t find the time between work/clubs/etc. to allot time for movies. In anticipation of a slew of great films that are making their debuts within the next few months, I have collaborated a list of must-sees that you should really try and make an effort to watch.

	Life Footnotes: Beginning of the...Beginning? By Marina Issacson September 17, 2011 - 2:52pm Hey everyone! Welcome back to campus. It’s that time of year again. For some of us here at the U of R, it’s the last time, the last September we’ll be packing our bags to go to school. Many of us don’t know what the future may hold, but are certain the days of languishing on the academic quad, nights of cramming in the library, and endless dinners at Danforth are coming to a slow but sure end. I am one of those people, a senior this time around (finally), and I have a constant awareness that as the months pass by, as the year dwindles and then restarts in January, so my time as a college student expires.

	The Prague Chronicles: Places I'll Remember By Marina Isaacson May 7, 2011 - 11:55pm So it’s come at last: this is my final entry for my time spent in Prague. As of tomorrow (Friday the 6th) I will have one week left studying abroad in this city that lies deep in the heart of Europe. Between now and next weekend, I have three finals, a Czech oral, and a paper to get through (so much for coasting). Next Friday CIEE hosts a graduation ceremony for us, followed by a celebratory boat cruise along the Vltava. The following day, I leave to visit extended family in Greece for a week before finally taking the long flight home across the Atlantic to Fairport. READ MORE

	The Highlights of the Rochester Summer By Kaitlin Carragher April 22, 2011 - 10:50pm As the semester winds down, many of us will soon head home for a summer jobs, internships, and the comforts of home. However, many others opt to stay in our beloved Rochester for the summer, maybe even experiencing the first 80 degree weather this city has seen in months. Below is a list of some of the many attractions Rochester has to offer in the summer months. READ MORE
	The Prague Chronicles: On the Fringe of Society By Marina Isaacson April 22, 2011 - 3:21pm Most children, when asked the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” will say something along the lines of “Firefighter!”, “Astronaut!” or even “Princess!” However, this is not so for a group of young children filmed as part of an enlightening documentary about the plight of the Roma population in the Czech Republic. My Psychoanalysis class watched in disbelief as the children listed careers like “brick-layer”, “ditch-digger”, and “cleaning lady” as their dream goals. How is it possible, that in this modern, democratic society in Europe, such a sub-culture is so marginalized? READ MORE
