It has been quite a year for opinions across campus. From protests, to the presidential election, BSG elections and fraternities, Brockport students had a lot to say. Let's take a look at some of this year's most memorable contributions to this section:
Lefties left out in life
By Sarah Fannis, Sept. 10: "Many cultures write from left to right. For right-handed people, this task is effortless, but we lefties have permanent ink or pencil smears on our pinkies and smudges all over our papers."
Turning 20 brings few perks
By Amanda Seef, Sept. 17: "At the bar, one of the boys wished to buy me a cup of milk, since he could not buy me a real drink. Do you know how embarassing it is to ask for milk at a bar? Or better yet, how embarassing it would be to drink said milk at the bar?"
Love is the answer
By Spencer Christiano, Sept. 17: "When you match hate with hate, it does not bring peace. Two wrongs do not make a right. The only match for hate is love, and while there were some students who did spread this love, most students did not."
Rethinking intolerance
By James Battaglia, Sept. 24: "Right or wrong in his beliefs, he came to our campus knowing we would violate and offend him in any way we could, to help us out. He put himself through that because he loves us, not hates us, as many have accused. Faith often fogs logic, so he was unwavering in his mission and beliefs."
Start from scratch to
recapture Halloween magic
By Adrianna Lohnes, Oct. 29: "After stringing Caitlin and our friend, Ryan, together as the dice, they followed closely behind me as the parking pass and Joe as the rearview mirror. With ski masks and color-coordinated clothes, we began our trek across campus."
Facebook status to White House status
By Kim Price, Nov. 12: "As the night wore on, it became strikingly evident this election was not going to be a close call. And so began an evening of incredibly inappropriate status changes."
