'This news makes me both uncontrollably excited and nervous all at once', come read about some of the exciting new ventures I am undertaking with zero experience but a lot of charisma.

 From business classes to costume design to French film, this semester started out as quite the whirlwind! Read up on the beginning of a *fingers crossed* successful spring semester at Wagner.

Joshua Piper is no stranger to the stage, whether it be performing or writing, the Junior at Wagner can give a piece or two of advice. Read in on my chat with him on advice for writers ranging from those waiting to get started and those anxious to get produced!

Academic integrity seems even more important in college than it did in grade school. This is definitely a feeling that can be felt by every college student as the punishment for plagiarism is reiterated with every paper I get assigned. 

I am a person who takes planning for the future very seriously, usually fabricating a plan A, B, and sometimes even a C before I feel confident enough to make any serious decisions. However, if there’s anything I learned about making future plans is how often they change.

These past few weeks have been very hectic with little room for breaks. After a long string of chaos, I remained motivated telling myself that a break would come shortly. You can imagine my horror when I looked at my calendar and saw that finals week was set to start and due to some impeccable timing, so was my burnout.

December 4th will mark the completion of my first tech assignment! This experience was definitely outside of my comfort zone, completely foreign to me, and admittedly, intimidating.

We are nearing the end of the semester and I have to say I’m ending it on a pretty good note! However, I couldn’t have done it without a few helpful tools I found along the way!

I only had one midterm this semester which was for my script analysis class. This test would review the plays that we read so far in the semester. “Perfect!” I thought, “seems easy… now how do I study?”

Hi! I'm Diana, a freshman Theater Studies major at Wagner College! From the moment I first sent in my application, I couldn't wait to join the seahawk family, thinking of the friends I'd make and the classes I'd take.
