Our Hearts Go Out to Newtown, CT

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BC chapter.

In light of recent events, it now seems silly  that we have been complaining about our finals.  There is no rhyme and no reason behind why a person would commit such a horrific act.  To harm people, especially children, is a horrible thing to do.  The thoughts and prayers of the Her Campus BC staff go out to the people of Newtown, Connecticut in their time of need. 

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.  – From a headstone in Ireland

Danica is a senior at Boston College and is a History major with an Irish Studies minor.  She is originally from Greenwich, CT and moved to East Boothbay, ME.  She is also a member of Boston College Irish Dance and the Shaw Leadership Program.  And last but not least is a fiery redhead who lives in a dragon-guarded castle surrounded by a boiling lake of lava! But don't let that cool you off. She's a loaded pistol who likes piña coladas and getting caught in the rain. Yours for the rescuing: Princess Danica!  (And yes, that is a quote from Shrek...)
