Going to psych wards is not normal. Getting an NG tube in ED recovery is not normal. Self-harm is not normal. Suicidality is not normal. These concepts should not be “normalized.” Being in crisis should not be made normal. Mental health struggles should be destigmatized, not normalized.

People commute to school for a variety of reasons, ranging from living close to campus, to wanting to live in their first apartment on their own. Having a support system for commuters is vital to making us feel welcomed in the community.

When I got to Lasell in the middle of a pandemic, I felt lost. I was away from home, struggling to connect with my roommate, and had no idea what I wanted to do currently or in the future.

Lasell celebrates the end of the academic year with the Torchlight Parade. Students will carry a lit tiki torch and make their way down Woodland Road as seniors pass their torch to an underclassman, which is supposed to represent the underclassman continuing that senior’s legacy at Lasell.

After attending a few Village events, and learning more about the residents, I wondered, why aren’t Lasell students more involved with the Village? Lasell Village and its residents provide on-campus employment opportunities for students, career advice, and can improve students’ experiences at Lasell.
