I have been swamped with schoolwork. The last thing I want to do when I come home from classes is to do homework for the rest of the night, but that’s been the case for what seems like weeks now. There are midterms coming up, along with deadlines for eight-page papers, and it’s all just […]

Staying focused
I was in my Linguistics 120 – Structure of the English Language (Syntax I) course in the gloomy Kissena Hall building a couple weeks ago when the teacher announced that the head of the department, Professor Robert Vago, was going … Continue reading →
Won’t you come to japan?
Would you come to Japan if someone offered you a free plane ticket? All you’d have to do is pay for your own accommodations and food…and also blog about your time in Japan! That seems so much better than what I have right now. But who knows maybe I can come back next year with that free […]
Too Comfortable For Me.
Being a third year student at Queens College made me feel really good about myself – I have been able to maintain a relatively good GPA for the last few years; in contrast, my social life is pretty much in the gutter as it has always been. I recently accepted Golden Key club invitation, and […]
Ask Bistander Series #1 How do you know if you’re Gay or Bi?
I apologize for my absence. Couple of things…First HAPPY COMING OUT DAY! Coming Out Day will be celebrated by QC on October 12th this Wednesday in the Klapper Circle. I’m excited because I’ve yet to hear coming out stories by my qc peers so it’ll be an amazing experience. See you there! Post regarding that […]
Are your eyes a Reflection of Mine
Cold blue fire Intense Gleams – Passionate Streaks The other day I caught myself reminiscing on memories from 8 years back. Eight. Just now, while brushing my teeth my mind teetered to a house party I was once caught in, back in the days of substance use and abuse. Where I met an interesting fellow […]
The Conversation
Recently, I was one of a select number of people invited to attend an intimate gathering at a friend’s home in the city. After a hearty meal of steak, eggs, turkey meatballs, two types of rice, meatloaf, potatoes, hash browns, English muffins, orange juice, alcoholic beverages and a delicious apple dessert, there was a conversation. […]
A Single Evening Primrose
Three of the least maintained and probably the very least-visited places on campus are on the northern edge (facing the Long Island Expressway). Below I present maps, photos, and descriptions of these habitats. There are three or four other habitats on campus that are somewhat wild and the distinction in this study is based on […]
Maybe
unknown music major fact #34: While everyone else has Columbus Day off, we have rehearsal. This weekend, the general Queen College habitants had a four day weekend. Somehow, unbeknowest to me, I’m more tired right now then I was Thursday night. Maybe it’s because I had to make up for all the chores I haven’t […]
Moving On Up
My first post came a week into this Fall’s soccer season, and as you may recall our early success was somewhat dampened by our second result at USNH. As it turned out, winning 5-1 in our first match may have been the worst thing that could have happened to us. Football is funny like […]
