Her Blackberry – Out of Service
By Megan Forbes at March 21, 2012 | 4:08 pm | 0 Comment
I hate getting all emotional, but I truly am sad that this is my last column with iPhone Guy. For the time that I’ve been BlackBerry Girl, I’ve truly learned a lot about Fairfield, writing, and most importantly, myself. Ever since I was a child, all I’ve wanted to do was write. For fun, I used to write stories. Coolest kid on the block, I know. But that’s more...
His iPhone – Out of Service

Over the past year as the iPhone Guy columnist for the Mirror, I have grown in many ways: as a writer, as a student and also as a young man. As your weekly columnist, I have striven to write about the issues that affect college students at Fairfield University from the perspective of a male. It has been a long journey for me as a columnist, and now my time has come more...
Her Blackberry – Dude, Where’s My Food?

Normally, on a college campus, there’s late-night snacking on greasy fries and disgusting amounts of pizza. This is usually where college kids pack on the extra pounds. I guess Fairfield isn’t a normal college campus, because there’s hardly any food available after 9 p.m. And let’s just talk about going to dinner in Barone. Seriously, there’s no way that you more...

“It’s a quarter after one, I’m a little drunk and I need you now.” Yes, I am talking to you sweet, sweet buffalo chicken pizza from the Stag. Sadly, if it’s past 9 p.m., there is no way for me to get food on campus. This begs the question: “Where the $#%* is the food?” Fairfield University’s major contribution to the local town is the easy economic more...
Her Blackberry – The Lenten Test of Power and Will

This past week was the beginning of Lent, which means, for any good Catholic guy or gal, the end of all the things we love for 40 days. I went to Mass, got the dab of ashes on my forehead and felt as if everyone thought I had smeared black eyeliner all over my face for the rest of the day. Insecurities. Usually, I don’t give anything up for Lent. But this year, I more...
His iPhone – The Lenten Test of Power and Will

We have entered into the glorious 40-day-long period of sacrifice that is Lent. Giving up something for Lent has been a tradition of many Catholics. Today, we ask if we choose to give up something, is it for religious reasons? Or is it just for the pure personal challenge? Some people give up something they love. By doing this they truly take the sacrificial more...
