How To Leave Home
The first time, it’s easy. You’re excited, having thoroughly googled about boarding school and high school and making friends and study tips.

The first night, you lie on your back in your new bed with your new blankets neatly draped above you, body straight and … Continue reading How To Leave Home
I Dress My Sisters
Back in early December, I suddenly got the idea to dress my twin sisters for the site and proposed it to them, which they enthusiastically accepted. After some failed trials of both styling and shooting, we’ve ended up with three outfits per sister to show here. I chatted with Audrey and Bernice to hear their opinions on the clothes I chose for them. Sharmaine: Okay, … Continue reading I Dress My Sisters

For years, he’s lived on campus though he’s not

The statistics are widespread– one in twelve American women will develop invasive breast cancer within her lifetime; breast cancer death rates are second only to lung cancer in the country; … Continue reading On Breast Self-Examinations

A Week in My Life
Monday 9 Oct 11:30am It’s a slow start to the day; I get out of bed way later than I intended to. I’ve just finished staffing BarMUN, the collegiate Model UN conference Boston University hosts every year.

It’s the end of July, a turn of the earth reminding us that summer’s nearly over. Here in Boston, it’s a dire notion— the thought of an impending winter. The past month has been filled with beautiful weather and excursions galore, and I figured I’d share a bit of what I’ve loved over the weeks. Starting with media, let’s talk about television. I haven’t been … Continue reading Mid-Summer Favorites
