Now Listening – “Say Anything (else)” by Cartel
I still can’t believe how fast this summer’s going! In a little more than two weeks I’ll be beginning my Junior year of college. I’m really excited. This week’s been fun. There are a good amount of advisors still in the area, so we all went out to [...]

Now Listening – “New Divide” by Linkin Park
It’s been weird coming back to the office. After running around like crazy during the two weeks of Orientation, being back at the FYE office gives a nice, relaxing feeling now. However, as strange as it may seem, I like the craziness. I guess that may just be [...]

I still can’t believe we’re already done with two Student Orientation sessions already. They were a lot of fun and I’m so glad I got to meet a lot of you. To celebrate, we all went out tonight to Buca di Beppo on Wolf Rd. in Albany and had some great food. Tomorrow, we’re all heading to Grafton Lake to hang out. Then, we’ve got the first transfer orientation, a day off to prepare, and then two more student orientation sessions. I can’t wait. For those…

Now Listening – “Spin” by Taking Back Sunday
Hey everyone. This week was pretty cool. It started last weekend when I went home to Staten Island, NY for my baby cousin’s christening. Baby Thomas is only 2 months and he’s so cute. This was also the first time I was able to see him awake. All [...]
