By Julia Carpi | April 11

By Julia Carpi | March 28

I hope you have spent the last couple of weeks soaking up plenty of sun and sleep to get you through the home stretch of the semester. Maybe you watched your favorite rom-com on the plane, took in your newest romance beach read or simply spent your break lying at home yearning. Regardless, we are back in full swing with only a little over a month left in the semester.

Hearts on the Hill: Reconciling with (s)ex

By Julia Carpi | March 11

We are at a turning point in the academic year. Today we are experiencing weather above 60 degrees for the first time since fall, and spring is officially 10 days away. If you’re starting to feel a looming sense of the passage of time, you are not alone. Perhaps I am projecting my own reality. As someone 10 weeks away from graduation, I’m choosing to distract myself from that fact by immersing myself in the complex and fascinating details of your love lives.

By Defne Olgun | February 13

Peach: “What do I do if I accidentally gave a 30-year-old guy my phone number because I was too nice to say no?

The Intangibles: Signing off

By Aiden Herrod | April 29

I’ve written about sports for four years now. I joined the Daily’s sports section as a freshman, first taking on game recaps as most early writers do. Eventually I edited, wrote features and started this column. I spent a year as a podcaster. Every year at Tufts, through thick and thin, I have always returned to my desk to write about sports. I’ve approached organized sports from every angle. I’ve broken down trades, given fantasy advice, previewed playoffs and even tried my hand at power rankings.

Tuff Talks: New and old relationships

By Jenny Lu | April 26

Dear J: I recently got into a new relationship with a boy at Tufts. I really like him and it's going well but we only have a couple more weeks together until we go back home for the summer (we live far away from each other). I think the long distance is going to be too hard on us since our relationship is still young. How should we handle it?
