Each year, I am constantly amazed by how easy it is for me to fall into the trap of staying within the Tufts bubble. It’s so easy to spend all day in Tisch or on the Prez Lawn or at the Campus Center, forgetting that there is an actual world outside of my existence at college. Living off campus has ...
Welcome to The Coin Toss, where I make some bold, unlikely predictions every week about some of your favorite professional sports. First, let’s recap my predictions from last week’s NFL games.I predicted that the Redskins would hold the Giants to 10 points or fewer. The Redskins won the game, ...
Hey all! It’s Wednesday, Sept. 28, which means two nights ago, we got to watch the long-awaited clash between Hillary Clinton and the Saints and Donald Trump and the Falcons. Wait, never mind, I got confused with Monday Night Football again. What I meant to say was, the first presidential debate ...
Two hundred years ago, the Industrial Revolution forced massive changes upon the global economy. Education followed suit, with new jobs and technologies requiring a more educated workforce. Now, in the midst of the Internet Revolution, many believe a similar shift is occurring, one where high school ...
There are three key lessons that we learned from this week’s episode of “Project Runway” (2004-present). Number one: At a time when the average woman is a size 14, designers still refuse to learn how to make clothing for any one under 5’10” and larger than a size two. Number two: "Project ...
Only a select few are labeled “the voice of a generation.” It’s downright silly to be dubbed the voice of three.And yet, that is the title that Vin Scully, the Los Angeles Dodgers’ play-by-play man on television and radio for the last 67 — yes, 67 — years, has earned over his unimaginably ...
It’s interesting to see what kind of questions we Jumbos ask each other at the start of every academic year. I’ve noticed that the majority of returning sophomores ask more personal questions compared to the start of freshman year, which makes sense since the first-year song and dance of asking ...
Looks like it’s Monday again. As you may be aware, on Saturday, Secretary of State John Kerry hosted several of his European counterparts at Tufts for a discussion only open to delegations and the press. Only slightly less exclusive, Waka Flocka Flame will also deliver a speech of sorts to the Tufts community this coming Saturday. On the agenda are topics such as “throwin’ cash,” “sippin’ moscato” and “los[in’] them pants.”
If you have been paying attention to baseball for the past few months, you may have noticed that Hanley Ramirez is now worth his $88 million contract. He played a crucial role in the Red Sox’s four-game sweep of the Yankees last weekend, going an electric 9 for 16, driving in 9 runs and hitting four home runs. Following Ramirez’s go-ahead home run late in last Sunday’s game, he ran out of the dugout for a curtain call to the Fenway faithful.
This article was written by an anonymous member of the Rainbow House.When I was 13, I was an adept liar. I could wear straightness as a cloak and walk unnoticed through the halls of middle school. Whenever my friends would ask who I had a crush on, I would either deflect by saying, “Oh, no one at ...
We’re only 43 days away from Election Day, and tonight is the first of three presidential debates between Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. Here’s a quick primer on what to watch for:First, it’s worth mentioning who you won’t see. ...
Natasha (N): So I know you guys have been dying to know who's Karachi and who's Kansas, or what it really means. Well, take it away Faryal.Faryal (F): I used to joke that when I was younger, I didn’t know I was any different from my peers in the white suburb of Kansas City. As I grew up, I ...
I hold firm the belief that any college student can look at the poster of “Frances Ha”(2012) and think, “Yeah, same.” The image of star Greta Gerwig jumping and dancing on a New York street corner with hair flinging every which way, feet ominously positioned to fall down and eyes supremely focused ...
*Deep voice* Sept. 23, 2016. From Comedy Central’sCollege Avenue’s World News Headquarters in New York shambles, this is the Tufts Daily Show with Kevin Lawson. *Non-copyright-infringing knockoff intro music plays as the camera pans to me, capturing a split second of me picking my nose.*Hello, ...
What’s up fantasy football fans? I’m your new fantasy columnist for the fall, and my job is to help you win a game or two this year. In each column, I am going to give you one to two players at each position who should be absolute fantasy studs for the upcoming week, while hopefully managing ...
Disclaimer: I feel it is necessary to begin this (my debut as a columnist for The Tufts Daily) with a reminder that I am a 19-year old college student who’s undecided about everything from her major to her favorite ice cream flavor, so any advice I attempt to give on how to maintain your “Tuftsanity” ...
Whether in Davis Square or beyond, sometimes it’s refreshing to get a break from Dewick and Carmichael. I’m Parker, a sophomore who admittedly spends an unhealthy amount of time searching for tasty Boston restaurants. This column will hopefully provide some must (or must not) stops in the Boston ...
Ever heard of "Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide"? Brace-faced, pimply, lanky little Anna was obsessed with that show, and all I ever wanted in middle school was a guide that told me step-by-step how to navigate life. Now, quite a few years later as a washed-up college junior, I still ...
Two weeks of NFL football have come and gone. We have seen everything from national anthem protests to a couple of Patriots wins (sans Brady), and another RGIII injury. Did you expect anything else? Those might have been predictable, but not every outcome is a certainty. There are surprise upsets, ...
For the uninitiated, "Project Runway" (2004-present) is “on Lifetime, I guess?” The show is in its 15th season and has stacked up an impressive 50 Emmy nominations despite using phrases like “magically muppety” to describe its designers’ work. Some say the task of quantifying such ...
