Making the Most Out of Med School
Is the road to becoming a doctor all that it’s made up to be? “I don’t really think that there’s anything to prepare you for med school… You really have to like it; you really have to want it. It can’t be something where you saw an episode of ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and say, ‘Oh, that looks awesome! I really want to do that!’ Because it’s not going to be like that.”
Cheers and Jeers Take on a Different Tone As Both Parties Hold Events to Rock the Vote
On Tuesday night, students gathered in front of a large screen and waited in anticipation to cheer on their favored candidate in the second U.S. presidential debate.
Accepted to GU, But Not Totally Accepted
What does it mean to be “suddenly BLACK” at Georgetown? Obehi Utubor (SFS ’09) became forcefully aware of her background when she arrived on Georgetown’s campus as a freshman. She cited conversations that had racist undertones as well as blatant accusations that the color of her skin was the only reason she had been accepted to Georgetown University.
Look at a Mirror, Look Into Yourself
I talk a lot here about the different ways you can tweak your lifestyle to increase your physical health, and at the risk of sounding conceited, I think students can really get a lot from what I write about.

Making Progress at The Georgetown Progressive
Formed at the beginning of last year, The Georgetown Progressive is a publication that, according to their mission statement, “lies at the intersection of the ideas, talents and creativity of progressive activists on Georgetown University’s campus … [and seeks] to educate our campus, demonstrate to the country how strong the progressive movement … is, and generate ideas about progressive p
Frame by Frame, Film Takes Us Across the Globe
While artists would be expected to be at an arts festival, and anthropologist enthusiasts would be expected to be at a culture-focused event, the universal themes on display at last week’s National Georgraphic’s fifth annual All Roads Film Festival brought in a crowd as diverse in interests and backgrounds as the topics that the festival’s art covered.
‘Ember’ Heats Up, But Eventually Burns Out
The post-apocalyptic family film — sounds like some sort of sick joke, doesn’t it? (It’s one thing to kill Bambi’s mother, but quite another to make Earth utterly uninhabitable.)
