Psychosis of the urgent Emily Bruzzo Editor-in-Chief Recently, my psyche has found itself knee-deep in the introspective waters of a little pond I like to call REALITY *echo*. That’s right, readers, life greeted me with a firm handshake, tipped its custom-designed fedora, puffed an elegant smoke ring from its Cuban cigar, and requested that I become an active, adult-like participant in the decision-making-being-mature-you-must-be-accountable thing. I … Continue reading Caught in the middle

Higher education’s relevancy

Emily Bruzzo Editor-in-Chief There was once a time not long ago when I wanted to pursue a doctorate; I imagined how amazing (and heavy) that completed dissertation would feel in my hands.  But I realized academia wasn’t for me. It quickly became apparent to me that I was a creature designed for “doing” — not theorizing about “doing.” I wanted to talk to people; I … Continue reading Higher education’s relevancy

Risking Risks Emily Bruzzo Editor-in-Chief I’ve been doing a lot of thinking recently about what it means to take risks. I’m 21 years old. I don’t drink — except for cranberry pomegranate juice, iced lattes and too much Mountain Dew. I don’t smoke: marijuana, cigarettes or hookah. I don’t really party; I can’t dance, my only move being the “white-girl shuffle.” I’m irreligious. My resistance … Continue reading Caught in the middle

Our fourth branch is in need of a check Emily Bruzzo Editor-in-Chief Last week, one of my colleagues at The Carolinian wrote on, what he deemed, the politics of outrage. He lambasted the American media culture and offered, what I believe are, several salient insights. I agree with much of what my colleague argued; however, as a young journalist, and a member of the collegiate … Continue reading Caught in the Middle

Caught In the Middle

Growing Pains Emily Bruzzo Editor-in-Chief We got hate mail the other day. I suppose it wasn’t so much hate mail as it was an impassioned critical analysis of our work. But one might argue that’s simply the politically correct way of saying we got hate mail the other day. To protect the innocent, I shall refer to our critic as Gertrude; however, let it be … Continue reading Caught In the Middle

Caught In the Middle

Beginning Beginnings Emily Bruzzo Editior-in-Chief I was never supposed to be the editor-in-chief of a student newspaper. I was supposed to be a famous concert pianist who would tour the world and empower the disenfranchised masses with my art. Then, I was supposed to be a music theorist who would electrify scholars with my aptitude for academic brilliance. Then, I was supposed to be an … Continue reading Caught In the Middle
