My relationship with gender-neutral housing has been strained from the start. At freshmen orientation, I was advised by my orientation leader to avoid living in East Hall, as it was for “freaks and weirdos.” As a rising junior now, I can’t help but feel that the school feels the same way. More…

The second semester is winding down and students will soon be getting repeated emails to fill out course evaluations. I appreciate the chance for us to voice our opinion on professors, and positives and negatives of the class structure. And I appreciate the reminders to fill them out. But are the evaluations really important to Lasell? More…
The opinion section of The 1851 Chronicle is vital for communication students to air their viewpoints in a constructive and well thought manner. It provides a tremendous learning platform for students, including myself in years prior, to work on writing skills and defending a side in opinion-based topics.

Patriots’ Day has a special place in the heart of the Lasell community. We consider it a day of celebration and a day off from classes. Almost four years ago, however, it was a different story. We remember April 15, 2013 as the day of the Boston Marathon bombings. More…

It’s Sunday morning, and my Keurig is pumping out a decent cup of coffee for me to enjoy. I’ve been in New Jersey playing volleyball all weekend, so it’d be a good idea for me to catch up on what’s been happening in the world the past couple days. Here’s an idea; why not head over to BuzzFeed? They’ll catch me up right away and I’ll be able to converse with anyone I want regarding the weekend’s headlines. More…

When I first told family and friends I would be traveling to Vietnam, I would get jokes about getting shipped off to fight in the Vietnam War or they would start talking to me about meeting Anthony Bourdain (a Travel Channel chef who has visited the country multiple times). Although I didn’t fulfill everyone’s wishes, I was able to take away a lot from spending two weeks in Asia.

Symposium can be a lot of different things. It can be a day of gratitude for some, having accomplished a semester-long project to present in front of admiring peers, faculty, and community members alike. For others it is a day of relief. After months of planning, the day has finally come where everything falls into place and many congratulations are given. And to many students at Lasell, particiularly underclassmen, Symposium day proves to be only a day off. More…

Many people I know use Symposium as a day to catch up on work, on sleep, go out with friends the night before (and I have too) but I know Symposium day is worth much more. It’s not only a time to catch up on work, sleep, and relax, but a day for your friends and classmates to showcase what they’ve been learning during the semester. Finals week is around the corner and we want to go out and have one last hurrah, but there’s still a lot to do before we can have our fun. Presenting our work at symposium is one of those obligations. More…
