Even though we’re already 17 days into the New Year, it’s not late to do a “Best of” list. 2012 saw some pretty BIG changes for me. A senior thesis, a graduation, a big move, a new job and there were so many new songs to get me through all of it. Here’s my BestContinue reading “Best Tracks of 2012 (or How Music Got Me Through the Year)”

Newspaper vs. Newswire
This post comes prompted by my sister, who is working at a band camp this summer and still has time to check my blog to see if I’ve written anything new. I’m on Month #2 at The Buffalo News, working nights and weekends. The newsroom has switched over to a new system, so not onlyContinue reading “Newspaper vs. Newswire”
Today was my first day working as a post-grad
I started my copy editing internship at The Buffalo News today. Despite getting all frazzled while driving in the morning traffic, I was ecstatic to be there. It was so cool seeing reporters I had previously known only from headshots. Being in the newsroom and feeling like I belonged in it made me smile. AContinue reading “Today was my first day working as a post-grad”
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”
Bucket listin’ and guest bloggin’
I’m strangely calm as the end of the semester approaches. Not only is it the end of the semester, but it’s the end of college. Forever. It only freaks me out if I think about it deeply. I still have some unfinished business left at St. Bonaventure University, and so I present to you “TheContinue reading “Bucket listin’ and guest bloggin’”
The Sims Social provides my first home
At 21 years old, I, Emilee Lindner, am a homeowner. But not in the sense of the American Dream. You see, my house is on the Sims Social, and I bought it for 33,000 Simoleons. The Sims Social game on Facebook has 18.2 million monthly users, and it is one of the many platforms usersContinue reading “The Sims Social provides my first home”
New music and sunny skies
Just thought I’d take some time to mention that there are some cool things going on at my boyfriend’s blog, Kind of Bleu. He reviews new music from Beach House, Free Energy and s/s/s. You can listen to the tracks on his site. The new Beach House song has got me listening to their 2010Continue reading “New music and sunny skies”
Hooray! Photos!
I just realized I haven’t posted any original photos lately. They’re all screenshots! Here are some photos from the past two months.
Five days without Facebook
Every morning, I wake up, shower and sit down to my computer with a bowl of Frosted Shredded Wheat. I open three tabs in Google Chrome – Email, The Weather Channel’s website and Facebook. So naturally, when I decided to go five days with Facebook, it altered my morning routine. When my professor suggested theContinue reading “Five days without Facebook”
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.”
