Ah, America. I am back. And mind you, it was no easy task. Following my lovely Thanksgiving dinner, things got crazier as the semester drew to an end and the holidays were fast approaching.

In the past month, Rebecca Simmons has proven that nothing can get past her.

Simmons, a junior from Averill Park, New York was most recently named Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Woman’s East Goalie of the Week. “I appreciate the acknowledgment from the league and Salve athletics,” said Simmons.

It is hard to believe that I grew up in a time period where movies were watched through VCRS and video tapes. With all the new technological devices swarming our generation, offering multiple methods to consume media, it is very hard for me to even remember what the sound of a video tape rewinding sounds like.

Imagine a gaggle of Salve students bundled in their North Face fleeces with hats and gloves, traipsing through the Rodgers lot to make their way into Wakehurst. The wind nips through every piece of their clothing and whips open the front door. Inside it’s not so cold.

Students that trudged through the snow and cold on Tuesday, Jan. 25 were rewarded with an evening of laughter. Comedian Leonard Robinson performed in the DiStefano Lecture Hall as part of this semester’s CAB Comedy series. The night was filled with random jokes including topics on Facebook, racism, Lady Gaga and dating.
