There is nothing scarier in this world than seeing over 7,000 people sing “Build Me Up Buttercup” in a setting that is not a concert. At least from what I’ve seen. In that moment, as I quivered in my khakis and dress shoes, I had the privilege of tweeting live from Quinnipiac volleyball’s first-ever NCAA Tournament match in Madison, Wisconsin. Every second was essential. Each moment mattered, not only for the story I was to write for The Chronicle, but for my own memories.

In today’s beauty landscape, skincare isn’t actually about skin anymore — it’s become a trend. We live in an era that is saturated with beauty influencers who flood social media algorithms with the latest skincare crazes. Unfortunately, this means content reaches younger audiences. That’s not always a good thing.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — In 2023, a No. 1 seed and a fortunate geographical draw in the NCAA Tournament allowed Quinnipiac to turn Total Mortgage Arena in Bridgeport, Connecticut, into “Hamden South.” It was as close of a home-ice advantage the Bobcats could hope for, considering the NCAA has held its regionals at neutral sites for over 30 years.

The average American suburb has a few key ingredients: big box stores, seas of parking lots and six-lane roads cutting through neighborhoods. From behind the windshield of a car, it’s the ultra-normal symbol of the American Dream. But it shouldn’t be this way. Housing availability has plummeted, car prices and insurance premiums are soaring and complaining about traffic still ranks supreme in small-talk conversations with relatives.

It is rare for a college program of any kind to lose its head coach less than two months prior to its season opener. Yet, that’s the situation Quinnipiac women’s lacrosse finds itself in. Quinnipiac Athletics announced Jan. 3 that Tanya Kotowicz, the Bobcats’ boss since 2017, was “leaving the program.” Then-associate head coach Jordan Christopher immediately took the reins as interim head coach.

I never thought that a phrase coined on social media would become the heart of one of my most significant opinions, yet here we are. The phrase “don’t yuck my yum,” otherwise meaning don’t disparage my personal tastes simply because they’re not your own, has become more and more meaningful to me in the last year. When it comes to personal preference, I always try not to project my own thoughts and feelings onto others, whether that’s foods, clothing, entertainment or their choice in friends.

If you discovered that you were able to condense a full semester of coursework into three weeks, would you ever pass that up? Quinnipiac University decided to offer that opportunity to its students beginning in 2011, allowing them to register for fully-online, three-credit courses that are conducted in between the fall and spring semesters. During the aptly named January Term, or J-Term, students can register for courses ranging from Understanding Theatre to Managerial Accounting.

PRINCETON, NJ – After a 9-2 victory against Princeton in Hamden on Friday, the Bobcats traveled south to tussle with the Tigers again, prevailing 3-1 in a much more defensively sound game on Saturday. Quinnipiac’s Vinny Duplessis, who was named to the Richter Award watchlist Friday, faced off against Princeton junior goaltender Ethan Pearson, both bringing out some of their best work this season. Pearson reached a season-high 35 saves in his first game since Dec.

Owning a smartphone is one of my least favorite things about the modern world. Whenever I can, I try to stay off of it. The constant buzz of noise from X (formerly Twitter), YouTube videos pulling at my attention or even listening to music in excess makes me feel like a robot designed for consumption rather than a human being. My dependence on social media doesn’t end with leisure –– it’s essential for professional reasons too.
