US News

Congrats on your acceptance to Boston College, Class of 2020! You have lots to learn about your potential future school. While some of these facts might seem like negatives, they're not. They're what makes BC, BC.

1. You will never beat the line at Eagle's Nest, no matter how quickly you rush out of your noon class.

2. You will spend many Saturday nights aimlessly wandering the Mods and/or trying to find an illegal way into Walsh.

3. Gasson is beautiful and you will take an obnoxious amount of pictures of it.

No shame in a good ol' #Gassongram

4. Both hockey teams are good...

5. ...football and basketball are absolutely not.

6. Freshman and sophomore housing is such a debacle.

Looking at you #Newt and #CoRo

7. You will need to jog (sprint) down Linden Lane at least once a week to catch the Newton bus.

8. You will consume more cheap alcohol (@Rubinoff and @NattyLight) than any respectable human should in one lifetime.

9. You will climb an ungodly amount of stairs.

10. As tempting as it may be, don't organize you 8-man 3 days after move in.

11. Your foam mattress pad will probably be confiscated no matter how sneaky you think you are.

I know from experience.

12. The Rat may not seem glamorous, but it's a diamond in the rough at BC.

Mac n cheese Thursdays. That is all.

13. Amy Poehler went here.

14. White Mountain's ice cream is sent from the heavens.

15. Don't worry, the Plex is coming down.

16. You will impulsively Uber back to Newton at least twice.

17. Tailgating is the best part of football season.

18. Want Greek life? No worries, Walsh is a rough equivalent of a frat house.


19. Don't even think about an 8 a.m. if you live on Newton.

9 a.m.'s are pushing it, too.

20. BC Dining's breakfast potatoes are the answer to just about everything.


Congrats, baby eags! See you on The Heights in the fall.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
