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.
Halloween is officially over, but we still have “Halloweekened Round Two” to look forward to. Unfortunately for some of us, our costumes feel a little tighter than they did last weekend. All the partying, drinks and candy that come with the holiday make it easy to pack on a few pounds in a frighteningly short amount of time.
Trick or treating is one of the perks of Halloween every student looks forward to. After all, who doesn’t love getting free candy and drinks and enjoying them too? But if you’re worried about the calories this holiday, don’t be. There are several alternatives to some favorite treats and alcoholic beverages so anyone can enjoy the season’s festivities – guilt free.
To celebrate the end of midterms students are closing their books for a holiday that’s irresistible – Halloween, and this year students are wasting little time coming up with not one, but two costumes that will put last year’s to shame.
It’s that time of year again. Time to forget about the midterms you just took and knock back a few drinks before throwing on the costume that has been sitting in your suitcase for the past month. It’s Halloween season, and the best part about this year is that everyone gets to celebrate it over the course of two weekends.
