Go friars!

As a student at Providence College for the past three (going on four) semesters, I've definitely become accustomed to how this campus works and I've learned all the ins and outs of it. Just like any other campus community, we have our own quirks and characteristics that are unique to us. If you're a friar like myself, you should definitely be able to relate to most, if not all, of these. Here a few confessions of a typical Providence College student.

1. You live for chicken nuggets and curly fries on Thursdays.

2. You feel like a mini celebrity whenever someone waves or says hi to you on campus.

3. You don't actually use the crosswalks to get from Harkins to Al-Mag.

4. If you don't have one already, you've always wanted an intramural championship t-shirt.

5. There are few things you hate more than the class registration and housing selection processes.

6. You love holding the door for others but never know what the appropriate distance is to do so.

7. You still wonder what happened to taco Tuesday at Ray and who complained that it was too repetitive.

8. You're actually afraid of the campus squirrels.

9. You love Coach Cooley.

10. You're probably involved in more sports, clubs, exec boards, or activities than you actually have time for.

11. The view of Harkins never ever ever ever gets old.

12. Whenever you're still hungry after a meal at Ray, you go back up to get just a plate of fries and then wonder if people are judging you as you walk back.

13. ...And the ice cream machine is both your best friend and your worst enemy.

14. Even though you don't think you're superstitious, you still avoid the circle in front of the chapel like it's the plague.

15. You really just attend 10:30pm mass because there are snacks afterwards and it's a social gathering that you can justify spending time at on a Sunday night.

16. Your printing money is gone in a blink of an eye.

17. Although Friar Dom creeps you out, you really love him at the same time.

18. You complain about how expensive Ben and Jerry's is at Alumni but then you buy it anyway.

19. You've mastered the art of budgeting friar bucks and ray swipes.

20. You actually really love playing bingo.

21. You still have a textbook on backorder at the bookstore that you ordered a month ago.

22. You've gone to Dunkin' multiple times in one day.

23. If you're not a business major, you're rethinking your major after seeing how nice the Ryan Center is.

24. You actually look forward to Ray brunch because it's the only meal you can rely on.

25. You've taken way too many pictures of the campus because it's just too beautiful not to.

26. You probably own a sweatshirt or t-shirt from every campus club or activity you belong to.

27. You wish Ruane wasn't so pretty because you love it but it also reminds you of Civ.

28. ...But at least Civ has made you better at Jeopardy than anyone else you know.

29. If you're not a science major, you have no idea how to navigate Al-Mag.

30. Although school can be stressful sometimes, you love being a part of the friar family more than anything else in the world.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
