As a California native, I made the bold — and perhaps regrettable — decision to apply to colleges somewhere with seasons. My idealistic 17-year-old self had a vision: a fall of cable-knit sweaters and orange leaves crunching beneath my feet like in “Gilmore Girls” (2000–07), and magical snow blanketing my historic college town in the winter.
TEDxTufts, in collaboration with the Tufts Department of Community Health, hosted its first-ever Spotlight event on Sunday. The new format, which the organizer hopes to make annual, featured brief lectures by 10 students followed by a panel discussion with three community health experts.
The most unfortunate thing about “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere” is that the film, fundamentally, does everything right. The plot is trackable, director Scott Cooper doesn’t make any jaw-dropping choices and stars Jeremy Allen White and Jeremy Strong turn in strong performances as the titular rock star and his manager, respectively.
Tufts’ graduation requirements are a behemoth. Without previous credit or double-counting courses, they make up about half of the classes students take at Tufts. This means Tufts has some of the most extensive requirements among peer institutions, with more courses needed than schools like Wesleyan and Northeastern — not to mention Amherst, which doesn’t have any required courses beyond the major. Between college writing, language and culture, world civilizations and distribution requirements, students spend many semesters completing required courses that may draw them away from classes they find interesting or that would benefit their lives or careers.
Let me ask you a question. Can you remember the last meal you ate: the texture of the food, the way it tasted as it slid across your tongue, the way it made your body feel? Or, were you doing an assignment, scrolling on TikTok or engaging in any countless other distractions while eating mindlessly, with no real thought of the food in front of you? If, as I suspect, you answered yes to the latter set of questions, I am not going to chastise you. In fact, I am literally multitasking right now, munching on a mozzarella and tomato sandwich from the Commons Marketplace while writing this article. Sometimes our schedules get too busy, and it honestly feels like we don’t have a choice.

Dear beloved parents and families,
Boston’s Chinatown district will provide you with fresh groceries, soapy facials, rows of restaurants designated by their bright signs and sidewalks lit up by red lanterns. As the last major Asian enclave in the New England region, Chinatown also provides a home for many Asian Americans who desire an intimate community.
In his 2000 book “Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community,” political scientist Robert Putnam writes that, “American history carefully examined is a story of ups and downs in civic engagement, not just downs — a story of collapse and of renewal.”

Ben Simmons was one of the most talented basketball players of his generation. He was so talented that he sleepwalked to the first pick in the 2016 NBA draft off raw talent alone. He was so talented that he was an All-NBA Third Team Player in 2020. He was a genuinely elite NBA player.
Community members in Davis Square elected the inaugural board of directors for the Davis Square Neighborhood Council (DSNC) last month. The nine-member body, according to its website, aims to give the community “a seat at the table” in shaping the neighborhood’s future, with its primary function being to “ensure developers’ projects benefit people in the neighborhood.”
What “successful reentry” looks like for individuals transitioning from correctional facilities to life post-release is often treated as self-evident: It means not going back to jail or prison, a measure commonly termed, “recidivism.” But people who have been incarcerated and are rebuilding their lives know that successful reentry requires community-building.
Once I submitted my last final and the freedom of summer washed over me, I made a radical decision: I would not spend a single second of break doomscrolling. Pulling out my deteriorating phone, I gleefully deleted all my social media apps, committing myself to saving my attention span and being morally superior to my peers. But it only took one 40-minute layover on my flight home for me to supplement my need to scroll with another vice: obsessively checking the news.
In 1980, 15-year-old Brooke Shields appeared in a series of print and television ads for Calvin Klein. In one particularly memorable commercial, she delivered the brand’s provocative line: “You want to know what comes between me and my Calvins? Nothing.” The ad sparked widespread outrage — largely because of Shields’ age — with numerous networks refusing to air it.
