5. Read leisurely to keep your sanity.
I never read books when I’m at school. I repeat, NEVER. But guess what I did this semester? I read. It felt so great. (It was also on my Resolution list from New Years.) Surprisingly, I finished a whole book on the piano. I was reading it for my research honors project for next semester.Continue reading “5. Read leisurely to keep your sanity.”
6. Never drink a Cosmo. Ever.
Long story short. I went to a benefit in New York where there was an open bar. I got a little too excited to try drinks I had never tried before. I thought Cosmos were supposed to be classy. Don’t they drink them on “Sex and the City”? Little did I know the contents ofContinue reading “6. Never drink a Cosmo. Ever.”
4. Writing can be fun when you take your time.
When I was features editor for The BV, I usually wrote things when we needed a space to fill. But since I’ve been working promotions, I’ve could take more time on my pieces. Here are the stories I wrote this semester. (Not a lot, I’m sorry to say.) Click on the photos to read them.Continue reading “4. Writing can be fun when you take your time.”

My limbs were splayed out to all sides, my right leg hanging off the bed. I wouldn’t let my fingers touch; they’d get too sweaty and stick together. I had gathered my hair in a bun at the top of my head. Despite living in a triple, I had next to nothing on. These wereContinue reading “3. I will never know heat extremes like I know them in New York State.”
2. Practice doesn’t make perfect, but it works wonders.
When pondering things I learned this year, I started to think about how I’ve made playing piano a bigger part of my life. I’ve been taking lessons since third grade, and after graduating high school, I never thought I’d continue. Then I started taking lessons with Laura Peterson at St. Bonaventure. I’d practice for myContinue reading “2. Practice doesn’t make perfect, but it works wonders.”

Reflecting on this year (and not studying very hard)
It was the Fourth of July in New York City. I was moping around my room and pissed that I didn’t have plans and that I wasn’t with my boyfriend, so I just decided to sleep. I was on the second hour of my nap when my roommates came back to our dorm room. IContinue reading “Reflecting on this year (and not studying very hard)”
1. A little competition is healthy and probably beneficial.
About two years ago, a student transferred to St. Bonaventure. He came down to The BV with a huge portfolio of photos and clippings. We were impressed, and the editors encouraged him to join the staff. He did and soon became online editor. He was passionate about launching the website ahead and creating graphics forContinue reading “1. A little competition is healthy and probably beneficial.”
