Just say no to reunions

In My Opinion

could not turn me into one of them.

Now, I cannot say that I am completely innocent. I did go through a short yet nonetheless embarrassing phase of Spice Girls mania but I would by no means consider my self an ex-teeny bopper.

I was never a fan of bands like the Backstreet Boys or ‘N Sync, even back in the day when bands like that were considered Godlike and all those who did not agree with the masses were shunned as if they had some horrible contagious disease.

The only thing that comes to mind when I think of these bands are cheesy music videos and screaming crying girls, enough to rival the Beatles.

I trudged through hordes of singing and dancing pre-teens, holding my hands over my ears so their infectious music

It was only for a few weeks!

So when I hear about Backstreet Boys or Spice Girls reunions, it makes me scratch my head. What was so wonderful about these bands that would make people want them to reunite?

My idea is that the entire student body, or at least those unhappy with certain aspects of life at Cabrini, join together and genuinely speak up about what they think should change in order for students to be happy and to stay here on the weekends. Hopefully, they’ll finally listen to us.

Instead of completely bashing Cabrini, I do have to extend a thank you to the faculty and staff here. The wonderful professors who teach us, the great people who serve us everyday in the cafeteria, the fantastic cleaning services provided daily and even the landscape and ground maintenance around campus are continually exceptional.

This is where we live, this is where we learn and I feel that in order for us to get the best of every aspect of college life we need to first and foremost be happy. Are you?
