The Boston Marathon and I


By Julie Grassey
April 25, 2013 - 11:24am

I was born and raised in Ashland, Massachusetts, a small town that is unknown to most, even those from the state of Massachusetts. When people at school ask me where I’m from, I usually reply with “a town next to Framingham” or “Ashland… it’s near the Natick Mall.” Ashland is the home of the electric clock, which allowed the town to justify naming our citizens “Ashland Clockers.” Yes, our mascot is a clock, and yes, I own many a t-shirt with clocks flying through the letter A on the front. Not ever being someone who cared about school spirit, aside from the occasional hockey game, I am still proud to come from a community with such an interestingly creative claim to fame.  READ MORE

Chivalry might not be dead everywhere, but in college this appears to be the case. When was the last time you had a door held open for you? Or the last time a guy walked you home just to make sure you got there safely? Amidst all of the hook-ups, slutty ABC parties, and frat boy mentalities, once in awhile, it’s nice to be treated like a lady by a true gentleman. READ MORE

A Suffolk Collegiette Adventures in Online Dating

After going through a major break-up during the Spring semester of sophomore year, I spent a lot of time seeking out carefree, emotionless hookups and one night stands, avoiding any type of commitment. After the summer was over and I returned to Boston, I felt recovered and rejuvenated and, let’s face it, pretty lonely. Any girl that goes to Suffolk University knows that it is a challenge dating Suffolk boys; and between that and having to balance work and school, I decided online dating might be a more convenient option. To be honest, after reading all kinds of articles about online dating sites I was really curious to check them out. Here is my experience dabbling of dabbling in few dating sites on the interwebs....

The Best and Worst of Oscars 2013 Fashion

February 25, 2013 - 4:30pm

  Denying the significance of fashion in the world of award shows would strip any ceremony of one of its most tangible and comprehensive elements. Of course we all tune in for the analysis that critics and audiences alike give a film and the hundreds of aspects that goes into its production, but the transparency in the awarding process isn’t very accessible to at-home viewers. I feel personally wronged when a film or actress I was rooting for gets snubbed (who cares if I haven’t seen the winning movie…completely irrelevant). I do, however, feel that to compensate for the control that crazy type-A personalities lack in this process, we are given our own, mini performances to judge, and that is the red carpet....
