After my first official month at Lasell, I have gotten used to waking up to sirens every morning, walking past gorgeous Victorian homes on my way to class and putting on a raincoat every Tuesday.

First Year Pulls Back the Curtain Reply
By Khiandra Brown
My first impression of Lasell was fairly different from others. The reason I say this is because my very first time visiting the campus was the day of orientation! Yes, it’s true. I paid my deposit, didn’t attend accepted student day and orientation was my first time seeing the campus. Although it was pretty risky, I’m so glad I made the decision to attend. I had so much fun during orientation; I made some great friends and even met my roommates. They are by far the sweetest people I’ve ever met!
First Year Confession Reply

It’s been a little over a month since I started here at Lasell. I’m just your typical freshman – I live in Woodland, dread waking up for my 8 a.m. and eat the same foods from the dining hall. I also have a little bit of a Red Bull addiction. I’m not complaining though! It’s been a fun, busy and tiring month but we all made it and we’re doing pretty well so far. Here’s the top three ways my life breaks down these days:
Com Students Capitalize on Trip to Washington D.C. Reply
The annual Washington D.C. trip hosted by the Communication Department at Lasell gave six students and two professors the chance to explore the nation’s capital. With visits to SiriusXM Radio, kglobal, Newseum, Cannon House Office Building and The National Press Club, students were able to meet professionals in their field and expand connections outside of the classroom. Check out these photos and be sure to apply for next year’s trip!

9 Ways to Decorate Your Dorm on a Budget Reply
By Hannah Akerly – 1851 Staff
- Pictures & Polaroids: A great way to surround yourself with all the fun memories you’ve had with your friends.
- Tapestries: The perfect way to make your room look that much closer to an ad for Urban Outfitters.
- String lights: They set a relaxing mood and keep you from having to turn on that obnoxious fluorescent light.
- Throw pillows: Only here for decoration, but they make your space look so much more put together. Plus, there’s never a limit on the number of throw pillows that qualifies as too many!
- Rugs: No one likes having a boring floor, so why not spice it up with a fuzzy rug? Besides adding some dimension, it’ll make your space look bigger too.
- DIY wall art: Save money by painting your own wall art! Find supplies at a local supply store (like Michael’s) and be proud to hang up your hard work for everyone to see.
- Letter light boxes: So you can share all your favorite lyrics, inspirational quotes or even just your favorite college bible quote… “She is clothed with leggings and oversized t-shirts and she naps without fear of the future.” -Probably College 31:25.
- Throw blankets: So you can snuggle up with that special person in your life or that other special person…Netflix.
- Plants/Succulents: Sometimes you spend hours (or even days) in your dorm room, so why not bring the outdoors inside to enjoy?
