The Phone That Does it All

Published on September 29, 2016 in News by Alayna Fogarty

Finally, the moment we have all been waiting for has come: the release of the iPhone 7. The new and improved iPhone was available for purchase on Sept. 16. It has a new design featuring a refined camera with a cutting edge, enhancing experience and without a headphone jack.

The one aspect that people have mainly been talking about is the lack of a headphone jack. What Apple wants the customers to do is buy the new “air pods,” which are Bluetooth headphones that come at a costly price.

Sophomore Kat Saylor said, “Honestly, I don’t like it having no headphone jack because I don’t want to spend $200 on headphones that I’m probably going to lose.”

Although the phone comes with an adapter, it has to be plugged in to the charging port if you ever need to charge your phone while listening to music.

Date Night at Wesleyan

Published on September 28, 2016 in Backpage by Brooks Lalley

It’s that time of year again when the leaves start turning, the temperature begins dropping, and the warm-fuzzy feeling of love is all around! Fall is undeniably the most romantic season of the year, a time when you can hold a pumpkin spice latte in one hand and the palm of your love in the other. As the autumn leaves begin to fall, the Wesleyan dating scene begins to flourish. It is not uncommon to see couples strolling through the Forum, wearing matching sweaters or frolicking across the grassy knolls of Technology Parkway on the weekends. But during the school week, shared trips to and from the lake lots, lunch dates at Dubose dining hall and talking together on the quad all help to make the romance last throughout the week! But the most popular activity endorsed by Wesleyan couples is definitely grabbing a meal after school or practices.

Rumor has it the top places to eat are California Pizza Kitchen and Chipotle, so I teamed up with Quinn Kaloper to find out just how romantic these restaurants really are. And to top this investigation off, we joined Wesleyan’s hottest couple, Ms. Alex Bufton and Mr. Chris Paroli, for a surprise excursion to their favorite date night spot! Keep Reading
