Laura Weick | URI can now enjoy cookies until 3 a.m. Insomnia Cookies is the only nationwide food chain I can think of that specifically targets college students. The bakery’s gimmick is that they make their cookies in store and deliver them to students’ dorms as late as 3 a.m. There are already over 100…

Emma Gauthier – Senior Farewell I’ve spent the past week wondering how I’m going to say goodbye to the organization that shaped the course of my college career. I could fill 16 pages with the stories I’ve accrued over my four years as a member of the Good Five Cent Cigar, and that’s not including…

Sam Murray – Senior Farewell Being asked to decide what you want to do for the rest of your life at the age of 18 is bizarre. Essentially, we have four years to decide how we will spend the next 50. We seldom choose to chase our dreams or do what we feel born to…
