When walking through the mass of students moving hastily through Franklin Dining Common to get a quick bite to eat, it becomes easy to ignore certain things. Forgetting to pick up a dropped fork, leaving a tray abandoned on a cafeteria table, or ignoring a drink accidentally spilled becomes commonplace in the mid-morning rush to class.

It has been a year of change and progress here on the Heights. Across all spectrums, from academics to athletics to activism, Boston College students, faculty, and staff have risen to and met the challenge of greatness. While each of their successes has been individual, their contributions to the University have been felt by each of us.
Seeing the efforts of so many people within the BC community striving to single-handedly make BC a better place, The Heights has decided to recognize their successes, presenting to seven individuals this year's Genius Awards. These awards acknowledge those whose accomplishments may have gone unnoticed or under recognized by the greater BC population, but nevertheless had an impact, helping to shape BC's reputation as an institution of excellence.

The "Sex and the City" movie won't debut until May 30, but the ladies of Manhattan have been sparking conversation on sex and feminism since the show's first season on HBO in 1998.
Whether it's the candid conversations that take place among Carrie Bradshaw, Charlotte York, Miranda Hobbes and Samantha Jones, their sometimes over-the-top fashion statements or Carrie's epiphanies as she narrates the show, fans say each episode, during the show's six seasons, has drawn a connection between the audience and its characters.

A sea of decorated caps and black gowns packed the TD Banknorth Garden May 2 for Northeastern's undergraduate commencement ceremony. The event signified a farewell to the students' college lifestyle and the beginning of a new stage in their lives.
But college graduates may be saying 'bye' to more than just Thirsty Thursdays, fraternity parties and the occasional late-night run to Cappy's.

Ever since men and women started being in relationships with each other one thing has been very clear: that the man is the one in charge. Now, over time this power struggle has progressed greatly to the point where at times I feel for the male sex, especially when I see a particularly dreadful girlfriend pulling her unwitting boyfriend into the Gap.

In June of 2004, I, along with a fraction of admitted students that would soon be my fellow classmates, attended a session of freshman orientation.
I'd heard all about the whole "Groovy UV" thing but I was never really sure what it meant; I didn't know if it was real.
