Rosie

Lucy Collins | Thursday, November 29, 2018

The only thing my dog was practically good for was replacing our broken doorbell. For as long as I can remember, growing up in my house meant missing visitors, because our doorbell never worked, and for some reason no one fixed it. It was not uncommon to be alerted of someone’s presence by a phone

HBO’s ‘Sex and the City’: Are the characters empowering women?

Lucy Collins | Thursday, November 8, 2018

Long before HBO started creating some of my favorite shows, like “Game of Thrones” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” they were putting themselves on the map with an iconic show that ran for six seasons and morphed into two blockbuster hits. That’s right, ladies (and gentlemen, to be sure), I’m talking “Sex and the City” today.

Top-five bad guys

Lucy Collins | Thursday, October 25, 2018

Ah, October. The month when the leaves start to change and the sun starts to set a lot earlier. With these shorter days comes more opportunity to reflect on the fears within our hearts — looming midterms, jobless futures and the prospect of losing a football game. What better time of year for Halloween, the

We the improvisors

Lucy Collins | Wednesday, September 19, 2018

Amongst the plethora of possible plans for the upcoming years is the idea of law school. Talk to my mother, however, and she would say I am woefully unprepared for another round of admissions for a competitive school. How so, you ask? Because instead of using my free time to start a non-profit or create

Puzzling summer

Lucy Collins | Friday, September 14, 2018

“I have measured my life in coffee spoons.” — T.S. Eliot Much as Eliot felt the need to verbalize his frustration with his place in the universe through the minute lens in which his anxious protagonist was forced to view his own life, I would like to try and summarize MY recent experience with the

Running through life

Lucy Collins | Thursday, September 6, 2018

With the sun in the sleepy stages of wakeup, lazily drooping over the horizon, an inner dialogue pulses through my mind for what seems like the thousandth time this summer: “Keep going. When you round the corner, you can take a break. … No, I don’t need a break that’ll just make it worse, idiot

Thoughts from the Metra

Lucy Collins | Thursday, August 23, 2018

First, I thought I could use the time on the train to meditate or pray — I’ve been rediscovering my faith this past year. I underestimated how hard it was to treat others how you’d like to be treated while commuting with hordes of angry businessmen who hate their lives. When people, myself included, are

Thankful for home

Lucy Collins | Tuesday, November 28, 2017

A lot of things run a bit differently here across the pond. One custom they (obviously) don’t celebrate over here is Thanksgiving. Given the day was originally in part a celebration of escaping the dear ole’ Brits, this wasn’t exactly unexpected, and I knew I would have to sacrifice my favorite holiday in order to

Tasty lamb morsels

Lucy Collins | Tuesday, October 3, 2017

Let me set the scene. We arrive in Munich, fresh-faced, bursting with the optimism of college kids with a weekend of unobstructed drinking and shenanigans ahead of us at Oktoberfest. Thinking that we are going to take things easy during the day, we head to a market for some lunch. Then, the unthinkable happens. I

Why can’t we be friends?

Lucy Collins | Thursday, September 21, 2017

I am a firm believer in the idea that a deep friendship is quite possibly the most significant and beneficial relationship you can have with someone (arguably aside from marriage, but for some, perhaps even including this). Nothing beats time spent with dear friends, whether it’s dancing at a bar, debating around a kitchen table
