Hi, it's nice to meet you

Hey there, welcome to my blog!

My name is Cali and I am a senior at Binghamton University majoring in English rhetoric and minoring in graphic design. I am from a small town near Syracuse, New York and want to pursue a career in journalism or communications. In my free time I like to read, write, watch movies and shop. When I am not eating Thai food or scrolling through Instagram, you can find me hanging out with friends and procrastinating.

Right now I am an assistant arts and culture editor at Pipe Dream and a student assistant at BU's Office of Media and Public Relations. Here are a few fun facts about myself: I have four dogs, I am an only child and my guilty pleasure is reality television.

My blog will cover anything and everything related to college seniors. As a senior myself, I understand the struggle and stress of the final year of college. Here's to surviving the last two semesters!

While it may be fun, this kind of drinking can put students in danger and create bad habits. As a senior, it's fun to have the freedom to drink on week days. It's your last year of college and probably the last time you'll be able to drink so freely, so why not? But don't let th...

Embrace the fifth year

Although I never want college to end, I know that my time has an expiration date. Soon the class of 2020 will be walking the stage and saying goodbye to our undergraduate years. But what happens when you need to take a fifth year? Elite Daily's "How Being a Super Senior is a Blessing in Disguise" explains how taking a fifth year of college has some perks. It might feel weird and embarrassing at first, but this extra time allows you to make new friends and pursue new opportunities. If you need extra time to graduate, don't feel ashamed. Everyone has their own path, and maybe this is exactly what you need. Everyone in college is worried about their own problems, so people probably won't care or notice that you're around for another year. They might even like the company. https://www.elitedaily.com/life/culture/its-okay-to-be-a-super-senior/1030790
