The technology to accurately determine whether AI has been used simply doesn’t exist yet, but is it even necessary in most cases? More often than not, students aren’t using this technology in the way teachers fear.
Embracing the Simplicity of Spirituality
The most numerous stat to my name is the number of times I have attended mass. 52 Sundays multiplied by 19 years equals 988. I am rapidly approaching my 20th birthday, so add a few for the past year—plus Holy Days of Obligation & all school-mandated mass in high school—I have probably attended mass around 1,000 times.
Let’s Stop Remaking Shows
Creating a show that is supposed to draw the same childhood bliss as the original for a new generation is a huge undertaking. In my opinion, such an effort is better suited for creating new TV show concepts.

Senioritis and Shifting Priorities
Conventional wisdom suggests that as you progress through your four years of college, you’ll begin to assume increasing levels of responsibility in all aspects of your life. In many ways, this is true, especially for Boston College students.

Self-Interest and Selflessness: A Complex Relationship
Each micro-decision is a balancing act of managing personal care with maintaining relationships. While some decisions allow you to further yourself and your relationships—for example, going to the gym with a friend—even trivial decisions often require sacrifice for one over the other.
