Tips for Gaining Experience

Alright, so day in and day out we sit down in class, and our professors periodically preach to us about gaining experience in “your field” and to do it soon, because “it’s all about the resume,” right? So we hear this everyday and we think the same thing; “How the heck am I supposed to do that?” Well, it’s actually easier…

A Colossal Amount of Awesome

I recently checked out the Alumni Show in the Massry Gallery… it was amazing [also properly known as “Design@Work: The Karene Faul Alumni Exhibition”(which FYI is closing the 29th so hurry!!!)]. There was so much to see and a lot of it was recognizable from companies around the world. It was quite wonderful to see Saint Rose alumni doing what they love with what they learned here as well as being successful at it and bringing it back for us to see.

We are pretty cool. I don’t want to spoil the show by gushing over all the cool stuff but the first thing that caught my eye was an advertisement for the first season of Glee and the show Fringe on Fox (both of which I am a fan). It honestly fills you up with pride to know that one of our Alumni did such great work.

Which brings me to my big ooh aah point. Don’t feel lost. If you find that you have no idea what you want to do after college its okay. One: Do what you love. Two: You had no idea what you wanted to do in college not that long ago. I promise it’ll come to you. Chances are that Saint Rose will have given you the tools you need to succeed and that you’ll be happy succeeding at what you love.

P.S. Speaking of Saint Rose giving you the tools you need, the link on the words Alumni show at the top of this post will take you to the colleges Facebook page (like it!) and an album full of pictures from the show.

I think I can…How to find motivation mid-semester

It’s that time of the semester. You know, the time when students begin to lose the motivation and energy they had at the beginning of the semester. Students at Saint Rose take on many responsibilities outside of class including part-time work, extracurricular activities, research projects, field experiences, etc. With only so many hours in a day, it can be difficult…

I have been developing my Saint Rose bucket list for a few weeks. There are a few more things that I want to do before I graduate. As I write new to do’s I realize how much I’ve already accomplished here. My Saint Rose Bucket List: Do a flash mob Random dance on the campus quad with friends Be a…
