There’s no place like home

Keira Footer February 26, 2025
I’m worried that something similar might happen when I return from college. Instead of feeling comfortable and relieved, I’ll feel unfamiliar and awkward, like I’m staying at a friend’s house for a week before I return to Boston. I’ve often heard sayings such as “home is where the heart is,” but how am I supposed to call this new place “home” without the proper time to love it?

GALLERY: New Hampshire primaries result in heartbreak and victory

Taylor Coester January 26, 2024
The New Hampshire primary election drew candidates to the Granite State, canvassers to the streets and voters to the polls to divy the 22 delegates available. In the Republican primary, Donald Trump was victorious over competitor Nikki Haley, winning 12 and 9 delegates respectively.  Due to conflict between the New Hampshire constitution and the Democratic National Convention, President Joe Biden did not appear on the New Hampshire Primary Ballot, but a successful write-in campaign resulted in the incumbent receiving 63.9% of the vote to Dean Phillips 19.3% and third-place finisher Marianne Williamson’s 4%.
