Rally the alumni
Just a few days ago, President Ron Liebowitz spoke for 40 minutes on the future of our second home, Brandeis University. When looking at our university, I see a thriving youthful glow radiating around desires to achieve social justice and success. Brandeis has grown to a level of excellence, but even the most well-centered forces […]
What I wish I knew: Einstein’s needs a change
You see it, right? You know what I’m talking about: the black circles under your eyes, the sluggish movements of everyone around you, the mass exodus from class right to the library. Some may think zombie apocalypse, others may think rapid illness, but we college students know better. It is the hectic, sporadic time of […]
What I wish I knew: don’t be afraid to call BEMCo
Procrastination did not even begin to encapsulate how much I was putting off writing my essay Friday night. I was not ready for my night to end because once it did, my paper awaited. Nevertheless, my night did come to a close and as I sat down to start my essay, my phone began to […]

Whether it be the woodsy, nature feel, iconic castle or modern buildings, the blatant lack of a cohesive aesthetic is one of this campus’ most amiable, quirky qualities. Aside from Brandeis’ lovable looks, it is on the outskirts of one of the most […]
What I wish I knew: how many is too many extracurricular activities?
The sun burned the tops of my bare shoulders as I trekked to the SCC from North Quad. As I turned the corner of the SCC, I was bombarded by the overwhelming image that laid before me. Hundreds of students buzzed around three groupings of tables filled with enthusiastic upperclassmen fighting for first-years’ attention. Tempting […]
What I wish I knew: college parties
Excitement, laughter and utter anticipation fluttered through the air as my friends and I walked out of Cable Hall around 11:45 p.m. Saturday night. Upon first glance, we might have looked like any other group of college students heading to a party, yet a closer look would clearly indicate that we were anything but. We […]
