Prince William and Kate’s Second Anniversary
I remember Will and Kate’s wedding on April 29, 2011 at Westminister Abbey. I was a first year student at Bard Early College Queens at the time. I woke up at 6am to watch a portion of the wedding on ABC 7, then took a shower and watched some more as I ate my breakfast.…

This Week in Music: Mike Tompkins’ “Shake the Ground”
Wednesday, April 24, 2013 was a big day for Mike Tompkins. Why? The genius of a musician released his first original single. ORIGINAL. NOT A COVER. For those of you who have yet to meet the Canadian YouTube phenom, I’ll show you what this guy is about: Yeah. His voice is his instrument. Literally. He…

Episode Review: ‘Awkward.’ 3×3 “A Little Less Conversation” (with Viggle)
During last night’s episode of Awkward., “A Little Less Conversation”, I decided to test out the Viggle app. I’ll tell you more about the interactive app later. This episode was a lot less dramatic than the first two of the season. It begins with Jenna and Matty walking through the halls. Jenna’s voice over gives…

Movie Review: ‘Lovestruck: The Musical’
So last night I spent some time sitting on the couch in front of my beloved flat screen to watch Lovestruck: The Musical on ABC Family. The movie looked promising, featuring actors like Drew Seeley, Chelsea Kane (known as Chelsea Staub pre-2008; still not sure why she changed her stage name) and Jane Seymour. This…

Le Divorce: Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries
They’re divorced. Finally. It only took, what, almost two years, right? No big deal. The beautiful ceremony that took place on August 20th, 2011 wasn’t that long ago, I suppose. Yesterday, April 19th, 2013, Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries settled their divorce. And Kris got nothing from it. Poor guy was scammed into a reality…

Selena Gomez Bindi Trouble
I guess all isn’t fair in love and music. On Sunday, April 14th, Selena Gomez took the stage at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards show to perform her new single “Come and Get It”. The song definitely caught me by surprise when I first heard it last week, with its Bollywood vibe. I can’t say…

WRHU 88.7 FM Hofstra University
This lovely Monday I spent some time at the radio station WRHU 88.7 at my school, Hofstra University. Autumn and Alex were there hosting Alternative Nation, a segment that plays alternative rock songs from artists such as Sixpence None the Richer, Breaking Benjamin, and my favorite, Neon Trees. They played some really good stuff while…

Holi Spring Festival of Colors
My buddy Sauani (you may have read about her in my ceramics post) invited me to play Holi at Hofstra today. I had a blast, got really dirty and in between all the fun I managed to get some footage of the event. The Holi Festival of Colors was held in the intramural fields on…

This Week in Music: Jonas Brother’s “Pom Poms” and Matthew Koma’s “One Night”
The first week of April 2013 has brought to us the music of the Jonas Brothers and Matthew Koma. Truth is, I miss the Jonas Brothers. Back in 2007 I was one of those thirteen year old girls who fangirled about anything and everything Jonas. But then they died out. And now they’re trying to…

An Afternoon in Hofstra’s Ceramic Workshop
Yesterday, during my 3 hour long break in between classes, I decided to visit my friend Sauani Hasan in the ceramics workshop at Hofstra to see how her peacock vase was coming along. I got some great footage of her working on it. She’s quite the dedicated artist. I cannot wait to see this when…
