Cheesy Game of Thrones pun aside, the past few days in Syracuse have signaled that everyone’s favorite time of year is fast approaching. For upperclassmen familiar with the erratic weather in Syracuse’s frozen tundra, this should come as no surprise. However, I still remember watching my fellow freshmen struggle to fight the cold and pounding …
I’ve found that in graduate school, time management and organization is everything. Back-to-back interviews, professor’s office hours, class, assignments, guest speakers. The list goes on and seems to never end. Normally, I’m great with time management and organization, but this fall, I’ve been completely out of whack. Maybe it’s been the poor weather, lack of …

The first half of summer capstone is now finished and I can’t believe it. I’m honestly starting to get a bit nervous of how little time we have left at Syracuse for the summer. We have finished three, long weeks of rotating jobs to be an anchor, day-of reporter, social media producer, producer, associate producer, …
