The return from Thanksgiving break signals that for fall semester, we are finally in the home stretch. As appealing as Winter Break may sound, however, there will be a very stressful two or three weeks before students can get to a relaxing month off. All of my professors have been discussing in class our final […]

Well last week’s trip to St. John Fisher was very successful. I think it was a great learning experience for both newspaper staffs. We basically looked at each others’ papers and picked out things that we liked and that we didn’t like. Hopefully we will both benefit from the visit. I was also really excited […]

This weekend was awesome! I acutally got to hang out with some of my rommmates. Becky stayed here this weekend and I seriously don’t think we moved from the same spot all of Saturday and Sunday. We didn’t do anything that would seem like too much fun, we watched hours of CSI, VH1 and MTV […]

This week has been nonstop go! First there was shadow night on Tuesday and we went rock climbing… I never knew hanging from a piece of plastic high in the air (okay, I’m 5′2 so anything above 6 feet is high for me) could be so much fun. I’m even proud to say I tried […]

When I woke up this morning, I was unaware that my first class would be taking a morning-long field trip to the Buffalo News. So when I walked into my classroom and noticed some unfamiliar faces from a later class, I didn’t know what was going on. With some help from the other students, I […]

The day was filled with informative and interesting sessions that students signed up for to learn more about particular concentrations of media. There were 26 guest speakers who came to Medaille in order to enlighten our students on how to succeed in […]

As a freshman at Medaille, every student is required to read a book entitled Amusing Ourselves To Death, by Neil Postman. This book is basically the focus of your Gen110 class, which is required as part of the core curriculum of the college. Postman argues that technology in general is interfering with direct communication, and cites […]

The semester is halfway done. That means only 1.5 semester left until I’m done with school. At least until I have saved some money to go to Grad. school. I didn’t think I ever wanted to continue on with my education, after my B.S. anyways, but then I started to think about what I want […]

I have always been big on taking pictures. When I was 17, I got a digital camera for my birthday, and it was all downhill from there. Taking photos is a great way to capture moments - from semiformal to prom, to just hanging out with your friends. I have photo album after photo album […]
