“We Like Sex Too”: The GOP vs. The Gender Gap

By |

It’s no secret that the GOP has a lady problem. Women voters chose Obama over Romney by 11 percentage points in November (55 to 44 percent). Obama was also favored by most minority groups and by young people, for a combinatory effect which NBC News calls “a demographic time-bomb.” Historically, “white,” “male” and “middle-aged” has been an election-winning crowd, but the electorate is becoming decidedly more diverse — more complicated to sweep. The black vote is now 13 percent of the electorate; the number of 18-29 year-old voters is up from 2008, while the number of 30-44 year-olds is down and 54 percent of voters in 2012 were women. In most swing states, women voted for Obama with double-digit margins.

AHMAD | For the Love of God, VOTE!

By |

I don’t mean to get political…but this country’s current administration is made up of a bunch heartless monsters and unqualified fear-mongers. Great, now that I’ve got that out of my system, we can continue. On election night two years ago, as Trump’s numbers were climbing, I was on Skype call with a very worried friend of mine who was frantically refreshing the polls every five minutes. I clearly remember saying to her, “trust me, there is no way he’s going to win,” and I believed it. I was so confident, in fact, that I went to bed early that evening without even waiting for the final results.

HUBSHER | Talks Most Says Least

By |

As a senior in high school, I was vying for the “Class Clown” superlative but I would not be that lucky. In addition to “Class Gossip,” I also won “Talks Most Says Least.” It is pretty fucked up that this award had been approved by the administration. Four years later, I am about to graduate college. I am more proud of this superlative than I am of many of my other accomplishments. Looking back now, I can see that this label was and still is a common way to dismiss women with opinions, but this is me reclaiming it.

SEX ON THURSDAY | The Six Places You Have to Have Sex Before You Graduate

By |

What’s the best part of sex in college? Definitely not the orgasms. The majority of the people I’ve slept with (mostly the one-night stands) haven’t exactly knocked my socks off. But even my hook-ups with subpar sexual skills have given me wonderfully embarrassing and totally hilarious stories to share the next morning. And as any author will tell you, a good story needs a good setting. If you’re looking to make the best memories that’ll make you cringe for years to come, here are the six places where you have to have sex before you graduate.

Irresistibly Upbeat: Gaelic Storm at the State Theatre

By |

Remember a little movie from the late 90s called Titanic? Remember the dancing scene in third class with Jack and Rose spinning around the table? Ladies and gentlemen, last Saturday at the State Theater, that scene’s own traditional Celtic band: Gaelic Storm. The band’s most recent album, Matching Sweaters, is the their twelfth, released in July 2015; it peaked at 60 on Billboard 200 the following month. As a side note, Storm’s albums tend to have very playful, colorful titles: Chicken Boxer (2012), Cabbage (2010) and Herding Cats (1999), on which the famous track from Titanic appears.
