Ask a Student Whose Roommate Just Walked In On Him Masturbating
Dear Student Whose Roommate Just Walked in on Him Masturbating, I’ve been dating the same guy since first semester freshman year and, while I really do love him, lately things have been getting a bit stale. He hasn’t done anything wrong I just don’t feel the same passion I used to. The little... »
OP-ED: I Found The Cutest Little Riot Downtown That You Just Have to Check Out
I meet a lot of people in my line of work, and almost without fail, people say the same thing when we meet, “Hey Phil, I’m only in town for the weekend, can you recommend a riot I should go to?” This is often quite a source of embarrassment, because while I am a... »

Marie, I want this to be a night you remember forever. I know Valentine’s Day is a week away, but honestly, I can’t wait any longer. You mean the world to me.

OP-ED: I Can’t Wait to Pass Out in Historic, Culturally Significant Gutters While I’m Abroad
As my semester abroad nears, I find myself eagerly anticipating the new friends, classes, and experiences that await me.

OP-ED: Georgetown Students Are Such Rich, Elitist Snobs
UGHHHH, I can’t take it anymore. Those Georgetown students are such a bunch of out-of-touch trust-fund babies. They’re so wrapped up in their own little world that they can’t even realize how fucking empty their preppy little lives are. Oh, by the way, do you think I should go with the Dolce and Gabanna... »
ADVICE: Ask a Freshman Losing His Virginity
Dear Freshman Losing His Virginity, I told one of my best friends that I had a crush on him when we were drunk on Saturday and now I really regret it! He’s been super awkward around me and when I text him to see if he wants to grab dinner at Leo’s he always has... »
OP-ED: It’s Not a Hate Crime If You Love Doing It
There’s been a lot of talk around campus lately about the recent string of so-called hate crimes. Students and faculty alike have been up in arms claiming that Georgetown isn’t a place for hate. And I agree. There’s no place at an academic institution for hate or hateful speech. But I do hope there... »
OP-ED: Having a Supportive Administration Takes All the Fun Out of Being Gay
It has now been nearly two years since President DeGioia created working groups to improve the environment on campus for LGBTQ students. Since then we have won a full-time LGBTQ Center and the string of campus hate crimes has come to an end. However, as I look back, I feel like we’ve failed. We’ve... »
OP-ED: Locking Your Door is a Rejection of Faith in Your Fellow Man
Every night I stroll along the streets of Georgetown. People say I always notice the little things in life. I guess that’s true, because when I’m walking I’ll notice an out-of-place trash can, a tree branch that has fallen, a drunken coed sleeping on a living room couch next to an open... »
