No matter how hard we try, we can only push away change for so long. It’s inevitable. As I begin the end of my college years and prepare to enter the “real world,” I look back at the changes I have endured during school as well as the changes that have occurred within our community.

Students returned to campus, no doubt excited to be with their friends again, start classes and see where they’d be living for the next school year. But for some, that excitement may have deflated when they saw the condition of their housing.
Water damage. Paint damage. Missing closet doors. This is just some things heard or seen when school started up again. Some of the residence halls and houses had various damage, which soured the mood of move-in day for some returning students. While these damages can be brushed off and accepted, it can still ruin the feel of a room.

When I entered my first year, one of the first questions my one roommate asked was,“is it okay if I vape in the room?” Me, naive, just starting college, had no idea what she was talking about so, I said yes.

A month has passed since the Fall semester has began. Senior, Jared Sgroi, interviewed various Lasell “Students on the Street” about their input on how Lasell has changed since the transition into a university status, within that passing month.
One service that Campus Police have always provided and continue to provide, are safety escorts. These escorts are available to any student who feels unsafe at any time of day.

I’ve loved putting my heart and soul into The 1851 Chronicle for the past four years at Lasell. As I apply for jobs, I have plenty of writing examples thanks to this newspaper. However, I wish I had more video content or maybe a radio show to write scripts for since being a journalist today is to be a jack of all trades.

Over spring break students may have encountered the news story “Operation Varsity Blues,” the college admissions scandal involving celebrities, such as actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin, that surfaced that week. When federal prosecutors released information about this case on March 12, college students were outraged, as this felt unfair and unethical.
