As a full-fledged graduate, I feel that I should end my relatively short blogging career at QC with a few parting words of wisdom, some lessons I have learned during my four years as an undergrad…
Take your time to decide what you want to do with your life. When I started out at QC I […]
After a long, tiring week of finals and ceremonies, followed by two graduations (both Macaulay Honors and Queens College), my undergraduate career culminated with the presentation of a valedictorian speech for the CUNY Pipeline Program… Although it was a lot less scary than what Sharon had to go through, speaking in front of over ten […]
On Wednesday night most of us from the English Honors Seminar went to Professor McCoy’s apartment for a final farewell celebration.

As luck would have it, both equally terrifying events were on the same day, but thankfully they are now over so I can calmly reflect… The test was not as horrible […]

Having spent […]
