Because stand-up comedy uses laughter to disarm discomfort and open up conversations that might otherwise go unspoken, it has a remarkably positive effect on mental health. A comedian invites the audience into an intimate, shared truth that is free of pretense and bolstered by humor when they share their struggles on stage. The way society views mental health has significantly improved as a result of this honesty and humor combination. The stage has evolved over the last ten years into a secure space for discussing subjects that were previously discussed in private. Comedians create moments that are remarkably similar to…

The process of landing an editing internship is strikingly similar to assembling a gripping scene: every choice matters, every detail is important, and the final effect is influenced by planning long before the opportunity arises. The best applicants plan their strategy so that each employer sees them as a perfect fit, rather than just sending out applications in large quantities. The need for qualified editors has grown dramatically over the last ten years due to the emergence of digital platforms in the publishing, advertising, film, and streaming industries. This has led to a wider variety of internships, many of which…
Every semester, Boston College undergoes a subtle metamorphosis that attracts hundreds of young minds to an experience that goes well beyond the typical classroom. Boston College Splash is more than just an occasion. It is a one-day educational immersion that aims to boost teachers’ and students’ confidence and spark curiosity. It is remarkably effective at bridging the generational divide, allowing middle or high school students to study subjects they never would have thought to study and college students to assume the role of educators. For younger pupils, the experience is remarkably comparable to seeing the future unfold before them when…
Giving gifts to college students has changed in the last few years to become a thoughtful, pragmatic, and aesthetically pleasing exercise. Particularly in 2025, a Boston College student’s Christmas list reflects deeper yearnings for identity, warmth, and balance in addition to current fashion and technology trends. The things at the top of their lists are not ostentatious but rather carefully selected; each one has a function, be it community pride, mental health, or academic achievement. For example, AirPods are more than just fashionable accessories; they are devices that let students focus during lectures, listen to Bostonians practice acapella, or read…
Mental health is now a major concern at Boston College rather than being seen as a secondary issue. Colleges across the country have seen a dramatic increase in student distress in recent years, but students’ needs for consistent, meaningful support are remarkably the same. In response, Boston College is creating extraordinarily successful systems that emphasize empowerment, education, and prevention rather than merely intervention. Boston College is building a wellness infrastructure that is significantly better than traditional methods by focusing on cura personalis, the Jesuit theory of caring for the whole person. Students, teachers, and staff learn how to identify distress,…
Long thought to be fading into quaint irrelevance, the art of letter writing is quietly making a remarkable comeback in terms of how we can meaningfully communicate. Artists, writers, and people with strong emotional attachments have rediscovered the handwritten letter in recent years as a tool for connection that is incredibly versatile and serves as a counterbalance to the speed and saturation of digital life. By starting Penpalooza, Rachel Syme was able to capitalize on a surprisingly resilient demand for more in-depth, slower conversation around the world. Tens of thousands of people from various nations and cultures are now writing…
An event held at Boston College on a chilly October evening accomplished something remarkably successful: it made room for polite discussion on a hotly debated subject: what marriage is. The forum, which was organized by the Thomas More Society, included Ryan T. Anderson of The Heritage Foundation, whose opinions on marriage caused excitement and anxiety among the students. Opinion columns expressed concerns, Facebook events demanded a protest, and flyers were distributed. However, the outcome was not the altercation that some had feared, but rather a discussion that students continued long after it had officially ended. College campuses have evolved into…
The hardest choice for many people entering a Dunkin’ store is not whether to get a donut, but rather which one to get.

Boston College has quietly and steadily become a major force in contemporary higher education in recent years, providing a strong substitute for the University of Notre Dame’s illustrious past. Boston College has unique advantages that reflect today’s quickly changing academic and professional priorities, even though both schools maintain their Catholic roots and provide academic excellence. Boston College has a strategic edge that Notre Dame just cannot match just by virtue of its location. BC students are surrounded by innovation hubs, major hospitals, prestigious finance firms, and cutting-edge tech startups, all within minutes of Boston’s intellectual center. For those seeking internships,…
