On Thursday, March 26, the 50 Days Fundraiser for the Class of 2009 will be held at the Improv Asylum on Hanover Street in the North End at 8pm. The purpose of the event is to celebrate 50 days until graduation at a venue outside of Simmons.
Another purpose of the event is to raise money for the class of 2009 and events during Senior Week. Tickets are $20 and half of all ticket sales will go to the class of '09. An e-mail to the class of 2009 states that students can get tickets by calling 617-263-NUTS (6887) and mentioning the promo code GRAD09.
All seniors are invited to attend as well as faculty and other Simmons community members.
I think it sounds like a fun event, if seniors go. It would be nice to raise money for events during senior week like the Commencement Ball. Perhaps the commencement ball won't be as much as a controversy as the Soiree was...

It seems like everyone has a birthday in March or April. I've realized I'm going to start going broke on birthday gifts in the next few weeks. In fact, a friend is having a joint birthday celebration in 2 weeks. It's her birthday, her boyfriend's birthday, her boyfriend's friend's birthday and his girlfriend's birthday. Three out of the four of them were born on the same day...all different years.
After living with my roommate for four years now, I'm out of ideas for a birthday gift. Last year I got her 21 balloons in her two favorite colors and filled her room with them. She liked it, but the gift was "dead" after a week and ended up costing more than you'd think. I decided that was a waste of money this year.
I am struggling with what to get her. I have an idea but won't write it in case she reads this. I want it to be useful, unique, and worth buying all at the same time. Who knows where we will end up a year from now, so we might not celebrate her birthday together next y ... more »

I know it was last week but I thought I would share a little bit about my Halloween weekend. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, but this one was my first as a 21-year-old, so I was more excited than ever. On Thursday my friends and I went to the Witches Brew at Our House, which was a Simmons sponsored event. It was fun, but my friends and I ended up going to Cornwalls to end the night. I had never been to either place and I liked them. They were both a bit more mellow, but that might have been because it was only Thursday night aka day 1 of our weekend-long excursion.
On Friday I headed over to a party on Comm Ave with my roommate. The party was really fun and they had pretty good decorations, so it was lots of fun. I left a bit early to head to a bar to meet up with some of my other friends. Let me just say, there is nothing funnier than getting on the T at midnight and listening to the drunken conversations of costumed college kids. I made some new friends on the trai ... more »
