By: Amanda McCarthy

LRR, March 31, 2017February 8, 2025

Procrastinating? Look to the Visual Narrative

By: Benjamin Schultz

LRR, March 31, 2017February 8, 2025

If there’s one thing college students know how to find on the Internet, it’s sequentially-conveyed stories that are just interesting enough to distract them from their coursework and just boring enough that they can leave and come back without missing anything. Here, I’d like to encourage a different approach to…

A Foray into Fantasy: Seven Must-Read Recommendations

By: Rebecca Hill

LRR, March 29, 2017February 8, 2025

    The first book that I ever fell in love with was Dinosaurs at Dark, the first of the Magic Tree House series .  I remember sitting alone on the living room carpet at six years old when, suddenly, I realized I was reading a “real” book with no…

Morrison’s Mystery Flavored Prose

By: Traci Parker

LRR, March 22, 2017February 8, 2025

Remember mystery flavored candy? When you were little, you and your friends would take turns tearing a piece from a mystery Airhead, and fight over what the flavor was. You used to roll white DumDum pops from cheek to cheek, closing your eyes as your mouth discerned hints of strawberry…

“Put all your books on the floor.” Marie Kondo The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing Spring has finally woken up here in New England! Okay, maybe not quite yet, but I’m sure I heard him rustling around in his room. Honestly, I don’t…

By: Mairead Loschi

LRR, March 18, 2017February 8, 2025

Spring Break is finally here and it couldn’t have come sooner. You’re probably off to an exotic location or maybe even your bed (both options sound pretty amazing right now). Midterms are over and this is your chance to relax and get away from all of that reading and studying….

Embarrassing First Lines

By: Sydney Lauro

LRR, March 17, 2017February 8, 2025

A few years ago, my mom found an old composition notebook of mine from when I was a wee tike. In it, there was one entry that struck her. It said something like: “Meghan (my sister) says if I try hard one day I might write good.” Even little me…

By: Breanna Patterson

LRR, March 14, 2017February 8, 2025
