The other day, one of my male friends told me that girls are just as messy as guys. He said it as if it were some big truth, as if girls have been keeping this secret for centuries, and it's just now come to light.
The average woman spends about a year of her life worrying about calories and her weight (over an average 67 years of lifetime this equates to 355 days), according to an article that appeared in The Daily Mail on June 26, 2013.
The School of Arts and Sciences entered negotiations on Feb. 7 with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), an organization that represents Tufts' part-time faculty.
When you think of Switzerland, what comes to mind? Is it the rolling, green hills? Is it the Alps? Is it skiing or watches? Or is it the fact that you always get confused between an ambulance symbol and the Swiss flag? These are all true of the Swiss, but what you cannot skip over are the cows that graze in this picturesque, mountainous landscape - and the cheese and chocolate that their milk produces.
This season has not been easy for the hockey team. Injuries and close losses have defined the season. But this past weekend, the Jumbos ended a 12-game losing streak to pick up their first home victory of 2014.
To a lot of music lovers, the first concert they see is a big deal. It apparently makes a huge statement about their music taste and speaks to their level of cultural awareness. If they're lucky, they see a group that was not only very in when they saw it, but will be so famous that when they tell their children what the first band they ever saw live was, they will have to be impressed. Personally, I don't buy into putting such high value on the first concert somebody sees. A concert is a concert. The first one you see says nothing more about you than the second one you see. I have come to believe this because the first concert I ever saw was the Jonas Brothers in 2009, and I refuse to allow anybody to read into that.

Editor-in-chief and President of the Huffington Post Media Group Arianna Huffington will address the Tufts community at the ninth annual Edward R. Murrow Forum on Issues in Journalism, according to Director of the Communications and Media Studies (CMS) Program Julie Dobrow.
This past Thursday afternoon, ScHoolboy Q's highly anticipated album "Oxymoron" was leaked to the Internet a full five days before its scheduled release. Soon after, the deluxe version of the album was officially distributed to everyone who had pre-ordered it. It was a brilliant marketing move by the artist and his label, Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE). By releasing the album early to select individuals, they rewarded the loyal fans who had already committed to buying it. This strategy is symbolic of the problem facing the music industry: the explosion of file sharing in recent years. As the Internet continues to thwart attempts at stemming music piracy, the industry is increasingly facing a reality in which album sales no longer drive profits.
Unlike I usually do, I planned to prepare for this column. I planned to make an outline more than a day in advance, start writing a few days later and regret not editing thoroughly enough before even submitting anything. The concept was simple: I'd live healthily for a week and report my findings.
"The Walking Dead" has always been a highly visual show. Its best scenes are often shot without dialogue, relying on the power of the cinematography and the actors to make them engaging and meaningful. This key feature of the AMC drama was prevalent throughout the first season. One of the most intensly terrifying scenes in the series was when the protagonist, Rick (Andrew Lincoln), wakes up in an empty hospital. Having missed the actual event of the apocalypse, Rick stumbles wordlessly forward in darkness, observing its after-effects. This scene exemplifies the potency and the poignancy in the unique storytelling of "The Walking Dead" - in a world so bleak and empty, sometimes words clutter the story.
What is the role of a writer in the 21st century? Is literature dying? Will novels ultimately fade away and be replaced by "The Jersey Shore" (2009-2012)? These are tough questions, and as usual, I'll be facing them with some wimpy but well-intentioned answers.
In real life, first kisses are agonizing enough: the wait for it to happen, the panic when it is about to, the potential awkwardness when it does. But in the media, first kisses come in a dramatic array of flavors. First, there's the most basic dichotomy of first kisses - the first kiss of a character and the first kiss of a couple. As fascinating as a character's first kiss can be, this column will focus on couples' first kisses.
Professor of Biomedical Engineering FiorenzoOmenetto last month was elected a fellow to the American Physical Society (APS), a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the field of physics.
The 29th Annual Norris and MargeryBendetson Education for Public Inquiry and International Citizenship (EPIIC) International Symposium, which is sponsored by the Institute for Global Leadership (IGL), will officially kickoff this week.
In an era when we are increasingly consumed by our various devices - and the newest versions of them - it's surprising that something as old-fashioned as a radio show has the potential to make a significant cultural impact. And yet, "This American Life" (1995-present) continues to do just that.
The Board of Trustees, during their most recent meeting on Feb. 8, discussed the implementation of the Strategic Plan (T10) and divestment from fossil fuels, among other issues.
