May 16It would be the easy way out to sum up my semester in Paris by dragging out that dog-eared and dusty Hemingway quotation: "If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast."

Summer Movie Preview | Top 7 in '07
May 15As the trees finally start to bloom, final grades are dished out and everyone starts to go their separate ways, Hollywood provides yet again a way for students to entertain themselves when not frantically searching for jobs or patching together monthly rent: summer blockbusters. To save some time, here is a conveniently compiled list of the biggest flicks prepared to hit the big screen in the next month. Some will make you laugh, cry or pray to God that filmmakers give up and end the series with the third, but all in all they are certain to take your mind off of what terrifying hindrances the "real world" has to offer.

Four Years | 2003-2004
May 15When we swarmed the Hill in the fall of 2003, little did we know that our class would be one that would usher in a number of Tufts traditions that we now take for granted.

A troubling precedent
May 15As another school year comes to a close, members of the Tufts community will undoubtedly remember 2006-2007 as a year in which discussions of race, discrimination and free speech gained intensity and urgency, following with the Dec. 6 publication of "O Come All Ye Black Folk" in The Primary Source. Last month, with tension still high on campus, the magazine published a page about Islam and its practitioners that many considered derogatory, offensive and misguided.

Top 10 | Jobs from pop culture
May 15In the search for the answer to the immortal question of "what are you going to do with your life?" pop culture's status as friend or foe is up in the air. At the very least, it is a constant companion. Throughout childhood, everyone picks their future careers on their favorite movie or TV show at the time.

Furthermore, I assure you that the frequency with which I have covered Bonnaroo for The Daily reflects neither a dearth in local live music nor any kind of corporate relationship I may or may not have with the festival's promoters, but rather my own personal interest in the event, which I consider the greatest thing on the face of the Earth.

Book Preview | These books will make some shade and a hammock the best summer job
May 15During the semester it is nearly impossible to even think about looking at a book that isn't related to class. Even if you're lucky enough to read something that isn't a dry, lengthy textbook, you'll probably still be stuck in weeks of analysis until you can't even remember why you liked the book in the first place.
