My attention has been drawn once again to the issue of bullying legislation. I recently saw the headline “Tennessee Bill Would Give Anti-Bullying Laws a ‘Religious and Political Beliefs’ Loophole” floating in my newsfeed. My emotions climbed a rollercoaster hill of epic proportions as I read the article.

Since its beginning in the early 2000s, the Holyoke Confessional has been one of the most debated elements within the MHC community. Some people love it, others hate it—some don’t care at all. I fall into the latter group.

On Nov. 30, Emmy Bouvier, Maxine Getz, Diane Kim, Jennifer Walsh and I, Carol Still, were invited to participate in the monthly White House Campus Engagement conference call. While we had heard about the experiences of Kiki Boyles, Susanna Labowitz and So Jin Lee, who had participated in an earlier call, we had few expectations as to what the call would entail. Ronnie Cho, a White House staffer who has been with Obama since his Senate 2004 campaign, moderated the call.

The media loves a good sex scandal. There is intrigue, power dynamics, gender relations and, of course, sex.

Caution: Spoiler alert! But really it’s been more than a week, so no excuses for not watching. Glee last week was great. Not because of the surprising song choices, the Irish kid or the “what the bleep!?” moment at the end, but because of the legitimate political arguments.

The exact events of Thursday in Sirte, Libya, remain unclear, but one thing is certain: Colonel Muammar el Gaddafi is dead. My reaction to Gaddafi’s death was pretty similar to my reaction to bin Laden’s death- hear the news, sit for a moment, then talk about it for hours with friends and faculty. I’m not happy with the media’s reaction to his death, especially with the video of his body.

Family and Friends Weekend can be a lot to handle – you’ve been away from home for a few weeks, Vegas Night has just happened and midterms are just around the corner. It can also be difficult to navigate, especially if there are things your loved ones don’t know about yet. Don’t worry!

This is the story of how I realized that the movie Legally Blonde gave me unrealistic expectations about the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT).

I’ll admit it: I get a lot of my news from Facebook. Thank goodness my friends have a proclivity for reposting links, because otherwise I may not have known about something as hugely important as the #OccupyWallStreet movement.

It seems that our generation is getting a lot of feedback from older generations. Last week at the Islamaphobia lecture, Daisy Khan pinned her hopes for a tolerant society on us. Commentators say that we may be the generation to cure cancer, to change the food system, to bring back altruism. However, not all feedback is positive. We’re told that the Internet’s pervasiveness in our lives will keep us from forging lasting relationships.
