Le lait, c’est important : comprendre les compromis environnementaux des alternatives populaires au Smith College

Dès mon arrivée à Smith, j'ai constaté que les laits d’origine végétale étaient largement disponibles. Non seulement ces laits deviennent de plus en plus populaires ici à Northampton, mais selon un rapport de Meticulous Research, le marché des laits végétaux a connu une croissance de plus de 11 % au cours de l'année dernière. L'adoption de ces laits alternatifs est motivée par toute une série de raisons, notamment des considérations de santé, des préférences gustatives et une conscience environnementale. Cette dernière est une motivation importante dans le choix des laits alternatifs, en particulier dans la communauté de Smith, de plus en plus sensibilisée à l'environnement.

La leche importa: Comprendiendo los inconvenientes ambientales de las alternativas populares en Smith College

A mi llegada a Smith, observé la amplia disponibilidad de leches no lácteas. Estas leches no sólo se están haciendo más populares aquí en Northampton pero, de acuerdo con un informe de Meticulous Research, el mercado de la leche de plantas ha crecido más del 11% solo en el último año. La adopción de estas alternativas a la leche está movida por una serie de motivaciones que incluyen consideraciones de salud, preferencias de sabor y conciencia ambiental. Particularmente entre la comunidad de Smith, cada vez más consciente del medio ambiente, la conciencia ambiental es un incentivo significativo al elegir leches alternativas.  

Confessions from a Literary Elitist: Review of Colleen Hoover’s “Verity”

Last week I set out on an expedition to find and read a Colleen Hoover book.

I’m an English major and, more relevantly, a lifelong literary elitist. Pretentious books have been the pillars of my superiority complex since grade school, as I peered disdainfully at my classmates’ beyblade battles over my copy of “Beowulf” and once told my seventh-grade teacher that I found “Great Expectations” just so much more rewarding when reading it for the third time.

The Price of Your Aesthetic

Look around and observe the many characters of Smith College. Just about every “aesthetic” can be found here, whether it be “alt,” fairy-themed or maybe the recently popular “Lana-Del-Rey-vinyl.” There are distinct and observable archetypes of people that this school attracts, and more discernibly, a variety of fashion styles that never seem to stop evolving along the newest trends. The incessant upkeep with trends is a marked trait across campus, and it is without a doubt that the students of Smith express themselves through fashion with such nonchalance—but at what cost? 

Smith Rugby Claims Second Consecutive Victory in Conference Championship

Smith Rugby won the New England Wide Collegiate Rugby Conference (NEWCRC) championships for the second year in a row on Nov. 4. Throughout the fall season, Smith Rugby fought hard and held their own against the 20 other teams in the NEWCRC to qualify for the conference championship. On the day of the championship, dressed head to toe in their signature red and black uniforms, Smith defeated Yale 24 to 17 in a  close game to win the title.
