CNU vs. Stevens: Men’s Lacrosse

To conclude this night, CNU loses to Steven’s. Steven’s was very happy to have won, especially since they came all the way down to here (Virginia) from New Jersey. CNU didn’t seem to stressed about the win, even though this is their home turf field. Overall, the two teams were a good fit for each other to fight.

That’s always annoying, right? Usually for other media … Continue reading Let’s Talk About Podcasts

Though, I should’ve been in a different environment, … Continue reading The Oscars!

It sounded like a … Continue reading Feeding on Feedly #2
