A tiny rant

Why are you driving to class when it is less than a mile away? It is a beautiful day!!!! Why are you not thinking about your carbon footprint? Turn off your lights before you leave the house, leave your car in the parking lot, RECYCLE! Geez louise. I wrote this in the BV a fewContinue reading “A tiny rant”

I suppose I should explain…

… the reason for my recent posts on social media. I’m taking a class on Digital and Social Media, and we are required to blog every week. I wouldn’t normally blog about the Super Bowl (I hate most sports), but learning about how social media impacts everything is pretty neat. So now you know. EvenContinue reading “I suppose I should explain…”

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.”

3. I will never know heat extremes like I know them in New York State.

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.

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.”
