As someone who enjoys my own company, sometimes more often than not, I believe it's important to do things and explore on my own. Sundays are usually my days to do just that. My day starts off with heading out to some of the best, in my opinion, breakfast places in South Boston.
In a city packed with thousands of college students, nothing attracts them more than free admission. In a yearly attempt to unite college students from all over, the Museum of Science held its annual College Night. This event is a free one that acquaints college students with society's trans…
In my time at Boston Calling, I talked to people from as nearby as Canton, and far away as Los Angeles. For a festival that stresses its diversity, it had it in spades. Across the sprawling Harvard Athletic campus, three stages were set up, playing more or less consecutively throughout the w…

What a Drag...Queen. The Queer Student Center partnered up with the Women’s Center for the University of Massachusetts Boston’s first annual Drag Show. Male students put on a show for the audience as they danced to music while dressed as women. Jonathan Bynum was the winner of the pageant and took home a HP Chrome laptop and a beautiful crown. There were also professional drag queens from local drag shows that came and performed for UMass Boston students, and the crowd loved it. These ladies not only performed on stage but they interacted with the crowd by dancing and singing with audience members. All throughout the event, students took photos and recorded the acts. There was never a dull moment during the drag show.

I'm the best Trivia Crack player on the planet.
Now, I don't say that lightly, but I really think it's true. You may say I'm cocky but I've got the game to back it up. You know, like Richard Sherman. I first started playing in December and since then I've lost a total of eight games while winning over 100. There have been instances in the past where someone has sent the game over to me for my first turn and I've never given it back, just collecting six characters in a row and claiming my three coins with a combination of exaltation and pity for my inferiors. It's been great to see a trivia game make it to the mainstream, as I spent many a-nights yearning for someone to beat but outside of getting off my fat ass and going to a bar, I was out of luck.
