It's that time of the year again: welcome to spring semester

(01/21/20 11:00am)

There is no denying that the start of the semester is hard for many students. After three weeks away, getting adjusted to the food, campus, dorms and workload might seem very difficult. However, the new semester may also bring opportunities to take interesting classes, join exciting clubs and make new friends. The Justice looked at some popular self-care and academic advice, in order to share tips with students on how they can make the most out of the new academic session and implement self-care practices during the long winter months.

Health, Wellness and Adult Skills

(12/10/19 11:00am)

It’s no surprise that wherever Brandeis students end up, they make their mark. Enter Brandeis alumna Jenny Paul ’07, the creator and executive producer for the new “shoppable”  web series, “Adulting With Jane.” The series, which launched in October, is one of the first of its kind because it allows viewers to click on and purchase the products featured in the video while they watch. The videos range from “How to Change a Tire” to “How to Manage a Panic Attack,” and utilize influencer-culture to help “Jane” learn these new skills.

Addressing the Ads

(11/26/19 11:00am)

“Think really long and hard, and if by the end you’re still comfortable with giving over your data to all these companies, then fine. But chances are you aren’t okay with this theft that is taking place.” Walt Mossberg ’69, considered by many to be the father of technology-review journalism, is deeply troubled by what he calls the “theft” of consumer information by internet giants including Facebook, Amazon and Google. On Oct. 22, Mossberg delivered a lecture at Brandeis, his alma mater, on how the “ad tech,” or advertising technology industry, is destroying the internet. He warned that internet users have opted into a grand bargain, and that we are all being ripped off.

BINGO!

(11/19/19 11:00am)

On Thursday, Nov. 13, the Campus Activities Board held “Bingo and Boba” in celebration of Kindness Day. The event, which took place in the Shapiro Campus Center atrium, began at 8 p.m. with upbeat music, puns and jokes from two CAB members. As people continued to arrive, filling the tables and contributing to the exciting atmosphere, volunteers made sure to provide players with Bingo sheets, ink dabbers, cupcakes and other snacks. Soon, the callers began drawing and announcing the numbers, creating a competitive yet friendly environment.

Kindness Day: Behind the Scenes

(11/19/19 11:00am)

The 10th annual Kindness Day brought kindness cards, posters, snacks and dog time aplenty last Thursday. Kindness may be something that many find intuitive and can do without thinking about it too much, but Kindness Day is far from simple and doesn’t happen at the drop of a hat. Spearheading the operation are co-coordinators Miriam Berra Krugman ’20 and Emma Forster ’22.
