It’s a new year, and that can only mean that there is a new fashion standard instituted in everyone’s wardrobe. Last year had its moments of high fashion and fashion no-no’s, but be sure to note the trends that are most definitely out this season before you walk out the door.
While students prepare for finals, Northeastern’s Dining Services is making room for its 12th annual Gingerbread House Construction Contest, and this year the competition that requires more than 1,000 pounds of candy and 600 pounds of frosting is expected to be one of the most elaborate Northeastern has ever seen.
With the semester coming to a halt and finals just around the corner, we all could use a delicious, festive, homemade meal that even mom would be proud of. There’s nothing better than spending some quality time with friends during the holidays and enjoying the last few days of sanity before finals, so grab your friends and indulge your taste buds. Here are a few fabulous, easy recipes that are guaranteed to please any crowd. Ho ho ho!
Sex – it’s on the long list of priorities on every college student’s mind. Although getting a hold of birth control pills only takes a quick trip to the gynecologist and buying a condom takes a short run to the local convenience store, sometimes it can be a burden remembering to take that tiny pill each morning or to buy that rubber in the heat of the moment. To lessen your to-do list or just to shake things up, here are a few birth control options that are different, effective and long lasting so you can worry about everything else in your life rather than bringing another one into the world.
For fit urbanites, working out is not a question of “if,” but “when” and “what kind.” With frequent rankings among America’s healthiest cities, Boston has no shortage of opportunities for its population to hit the gym, park, trail, or, as is the growing trend, mat. The mat is home to the deceivingly dissimilar practices of yoga and pilates – two fairly stationary workout rituals that seek to engage not only the body, but also the brain.
With winter quickly approaching and the temperature frantically dropping, most students feel the need to hide under their homemade cocoon of boring sweaters, school sweatshirts and North Face jackets. But just because it’s gotten a little chilly outside doesn’t mean we need to throw all our fashion senses out the window – and that goes for gentlemen too.
If you take more than ten minutes to get ready in the morning, debating over the perfect shoes or bag to complete your outfit, then perhaps a competition seeking Northeastern’s best dressed is right for you.
When it comes to hard liquor and beer, there is no better expert to find out what works than your typical college student. But when you’re looking for a memorable, affordable wine to go along with the dinner you just cooked for your Sex and the City marathon, you could use a little help.
One of the greatest challenges a student faces during his or her college years is finding a good meal for a reasonable price. After half a semester of dining halls and meals of Ramen and cereal, most students are starving for food that doesn’t come from a box, or under heating lamps all day. Old-school diners offer the perfect solution.
