As a non-Catholic, when I didn’t make a point of abstaining from meat on Fridays in Lent, my Catholic-school friends weren’t too surprised as they devoutly observed a day of discipline once a week. While they filled the seats of Friday fish-fries and reminded one another to steer clear of meals with meat, they figured

This semester could be one of the most expensive yet. From toilet paper to coffee, costs of student staples are rising. The consumer price index, which measures changes in how much Americans pay for certain goods and services, rose 0.4% in Sept., the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported. Over the past 12 months, prices in

As soon as Starbucks rolls out their pumpkin spice latte for the season, all are aware it is fall, regardless of temperature. However, I’d argue that a 2017 addition to the fall Starbucks menu should be the true fall

Starbucks holiday cups arrived on Wednesday, Nov. 1, exactly 55 days before Christmas. As a Starbucks lover and holiday fanatic, I ignored the blatant commercialization of Christmas and extremely early timing to grab a holiday cup for myself as soon as possible. While I know Starbucks cups are certainly not the most important aspect of

After 18 years in the LaFortune Student Center, Burger King was replaced this summer by Smashburger, a national fast-food chain specializing in burgers and shakes. Jim LaBella, general manager of The Huddle, said sales so far have far exceeded their expectations. “We were expecting to sell maybe 50 shakes a day, but we’ve already sold

This past weekend, I was lucky enough to fly home to see my friends and family for Easter. On Monday, I bid farewell to them and to my dog and drove to my flight back to school, an afternoon departure from Boston’s Logan Airport. This trip did not seem unique. I went through security as

Even though it’s only the start of December, the first “War on Christmas” controversy has already infected my Facebook page. This particular battle is over Starbucks’ decision to remove Christmas decorations from their red holiday cups. The gravity both sides of the argument are putting on this issue is pure insanity and the very definition
