Never skip sunscreen in your skincare routine!

https://www.hercampus.com/school/northeastern/a-little-sunscreen-cant-hurt/

We’ve all heard our fair share of sunscreen rules. And yes—although it may seem overwhelming— I have learned these rules are law for many reasons. With summer around the corner, our vitamin D intake will be through the roof, but so should our use of sunscreen. Before you even think of tanning,...

Does your hair struggle to last more than a day between washes before it gets greasy again? Perhaps it’s time to try a different washing technique!

https://www.hercampus.com/school/northeastern/i-tried-washing-my-hair-upside-down-for-a-week/

One Monday, during our weekly Her Campus chapter meeting, our lovely president Avenley told us that she had recently been washing her hair upside down in the shower. She said that she has reasonably thick hair and that she thinks washing it upside down helped rinse out all of the product. Afterwards...

When we’re making the transition to college, many of us likely fantasize about having the perfect social life. But learning how to enjoy your own company is just as important, because it’s not always possible to be around people all the time.

https://www.hercampus.com/school/northeastern/how-to-be-your-own-best-friend-2/

Coming into college, I had all these expectations about what I wanted my social life to look like. One of my main goals was to find a good group of friends who could make the scary transition to college a bit easier. It was my first time moving from my hometown, and it scared me

The great thing about journaling is that it is completely personal and can be adaptable to your needs. Here's your inspiration to get started:

https://www.hercampus.com/school/northeastern/journaling-is-your-new-best-friend-and-heres-why/

The transition to college can be super hard for anyone. As I near the end of my first year, I’ve realized just how many ups and downs I’ve had over the past seven months or so. Through it all — at my highest highs and my lowest lows — journaling has been a dear friend

Who is the "Cool Girl?" Is she real, or just a social construct?

https://www.hercampus.com/school/northeastern/the-cool-girl/

I’ve recently re-watched the movie “Gone Girl” (*spoiler alert*), and I find myself replaying Amy Dunne’s well-known monologue consistently in my head. For those who haven’t watched it, the “cool girl monologue” is when Amy Dunne reflects on her identity as a “cool girl” as she lea...

Looking to start your fitness journey? Here are some Amazon finds that are perfect for gym newbies!

https://www.hercampus.com/school/northeastern/top-8-amazon-buys-for-gym-newbies/

Starting in the gym can be a little intimidating, especially at Northeastern’s Marino Center where there is never not a crowd. The gym videos on TikTok can be a little overwhelming too with millions of different gym wear and gear options that are often overpriced or just difficult to choose from. ...

Guess what - you don't have to travel to a foreign country to make amazing spring break memories!

https://www.hercampus.com/school/northeastern/i-couldnt-travel-for-spring-break-so-i-explored-boston-instead/

I’m not going to lie; I was not exactly in the best of spirits during the week leading up to spring break. I didn’t have plans to travel anywhere except my own apartment, and all my friends were either going on vacation with their families or too busy to hang out with me. It quickly

Everyone always talks about how amazing their study abroad experiences were, but not everyone is honest about the potential downsides. It may be a good idea to keep these in mind if you are currently making a decision about whether or not to study abroad.

https://www.hercampus.com/school/northeastern/the-downsides-of-study-abroad/

When I was little, I remember sitting with my friends imagining what our college lives would be like. We talked about what schools we would go to and how many friends we would make along with other fantasies we made up along the way. The possibility of studying abroad was always brought up, but I

While the popularity of true crime has skyrocketed in recent years, a lot of the content being put out is exploitative in nature and disrepectful of the (very real) victims in favor of entertainment. If you are a true crime fan in search of content that is educational and respectful while still being entertaining, here are some podcast recommendations to get you started:

https://www.hercampus.com/school/northeastern/my-favorite-true-crime-podcasts-2/

The fascination with true crime media in the form of podcasts really began back in 2014 with “Serial.” Sarah Koenig, a journalist from the Baltimore area, created a podcast covering Adnan Syed’s 1999 alleged murder of his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee. The project transformed true crime podcasts i...

Being forced to watch boring documentaries in high school may have led some people to write them off altogether, but documentaries can actually be both entertaining and educational if you choose the right ones to watch! Here are three recommendations to get you started:

https://www.hercampus.com/school/northeastern/why-im-bringing-documentaries-into-2023/

I’ve always been a fan of my notes app. It’s full of shopping lists and quotes from my friends and the occasional 2 AM poem about that guy I saw getting off of the T that one time, but I have a new addition this year. It looks something like this: Things I’m Bringing Into

In light of National Eating Disorder Awareness week, HCNU contributer Tess Friedenthal spoke with her mother Sara Cowlan, a nutritionist and registered dietician who specializes in eating disorders. In this interview, Cowlan speaks about how the increased prevalence of social media has glamorized and normalized EDs, and also provides several resources that aid in the recovery process and support a body-positive, anti-diet culture.

In light of National Eating Disorder Awareness Week (NEDA) occurring from Feb. 27th through March 5th, I spoke to my mom, Sara Cowlan, a nutritionist and registered dietician.

Running out of ideas for what to cook for dinner? Here are some easy recipes that are inspired by the bestselling novel Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus!

https://www.hercampus.com/school/northeastern/a-week-of-dinner-recipes-inspired-by-lessons-in-chemistry/

I used to ask my roommate every day, “What are we doing for dinner?” To which she answered, “I don’t know, what do we have?” The nightly struggle of deciding what to eat out of the random assortment of food we had in the fridge was one point of my day that I did not

What exactly is situationship culture, and why have situationships become so normalized when most people don't actually want a situationship?

https://www.hercampus.com/school/northeastern/situationship-culture/

For many, the thought of dating has become a foreign concept in this day and age. Traditional dating is out, and situationships are in! But why are they a trend now? I am sure we have all either been in a situationship or witnessed one. According to Urban Dictionary, this phenomenon can be defined a...

For Black History Month, Her Campus at Northeastern contributor Carolina Larracilla Onofre has compiled a list of books by Black authors that are an excellent starting point for unlearning racist ideologies and unpacking the systemic nature of white supremacy. Although this list was made with Black History Month in mind, it is important to remember that supporting Black authors and educating yourself is something that should be done year-round.

https://www.hercampus.com/school/northeastern/so-you-want-to-read-about-race-ijeoma-oluo-and-six-other-black-authors-that-are-must-reads/

I discovered many of these authors during quarantine when a swell in the Black Lives Matter movement coincided with copious amounts of time to read. Growing up in a conservative, Southern environment, the visibility of social injustice in 2020 challenged the ideas instilled in me that the battle for...

Yesterday marked the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that protected abortion rights in America at the federal level. But thanks to the the Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade last year, what should have been a joyous day was met with protests instead of celebrations:

“Forced birth is violence,” reads the cardboard sign my frozen knuckles are gripping. On the other side, “my uterus, my choice” is clearly written in big bold letters. I hold my sign high and march through the streets of Washington, D.C. I march to protect women and girls everywhere. Today m...

The first few weeks of college can be super exciting as you're settling into a new location and meeting new people, but it's not always the most smooth-sailing experience for everyone. These articles about navigating friendships, being a transfer student, and just surviving these first few weeks in general may help you realize that you are not alone in your experience.

When writing this article, I initially wanted to share a seemingly easy list of how to make friends on campus; I wanted to say that you should “reach out to others!” or “join clubs!” and while those are ways one can make friends on campus, I realized that not everyone can benefit from that. ...
