ABC's of Bryant

With spring semester right around the corner, let's take the time to review the alphabetic list that defines Bryant University.

A is for Around the World

Ah, nothing better than beginning the new school year with an old Bulldog tradition.

B is for Black and Gold

We all "bleed black and gold"—our lovely school colors.

C is for Catalina Wine Mixer

Nothing classier than a party down at the OP block.

D is for Dunkin' Donuts

The line at Dunkin' is brutal during weekend mornings and that 15 minute before class mark, but Bryant runs on Dunkin'.

E is for Effins

Everyone's favorite Thursday night spot.

F is for Festival of Lights

One of Bryant's oldest tradition, a nice way to avoid studying for finals and get in the holiday spirit.

G is for GFOB

That dreaded, required freshman class you cried about all first semester. This class either reaffirmed your business school decision or made you transfer.

H is for Hall Parties

The only way to start a weekend night.

I is for IDEA Program

Another dreaded freshman program—three days of nonstop group work.

J is for J's Deli

Every student's favorite off-campus food option.

K is for Kati Machtley

The sweet, polite First Lady of our university.

L is for Late Night Ronzios

Weekend nights aren't over until you have had your slice of bacon mac n' cheese pizza.

M is for Mac's

The local packie.

N is for Non-edible

How we describe Salmo food.

O is for On-campus

Everything is on-campus. Everyone lives on-campus. Bryant is basically a bubble.

P is for President Machtley

The Big Dawg himself, the university's beloved president.

Q is for Quick

Because the semesters at Bryant always go by way too quickly.

R is for Rentes

What's a week without a little TNR?

S is for Spring Weekend

The only way Bryant students know how to finish up a school year.

T is for Tupper

Everyone's favorite bulldog.

U is for Uni

Class? Food? Coffee? Printing? Studying? Go to the Uni.

V is for Very Emotional

You'll be very emotional when you graduate.

W is for Wings Over Providence

Best wings in the area. Essential for your suite's Super Bowl party.

X is for X-tra time

Extra time—something we wish we all had at Bryant.

Y is for Your Favorite Place

Bryant is your second home. You love it so much that when you graduate, you'll cry all summer.

Z is for Zzz's (aka the sleep you don't get)

Whether you're up all night studying for your finance exam or eating Ronzios at 3 a.m., you are never sleeping.

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.
