The Last One…

By Natalie Madrigal

Those were a super quick 10 days, filled with just about every emotion imagineable, but we got it done guys… woooo. So much to miss….. :me and nashia talking in the dorms for hours while katherine was knocked out, caroline sleeptalking ( im a member at ballys guys…lolol), nily’s quirkiness and her ability to make [...]

A Strong Finish and a New Start

By Matthew Joe

Wow! It’s the last of our intensive 10 day- long program. It has definitely been a fun, productive week and I believe I am an official reporter for the Spectrum. During the beginning, I did not know what to expect…now I can hit the streets of any city. As long as I have this legitimate [...]

It All Comes to an End

By Shayra Kamal

I was mistaken yesterday; THIS is my final entry. There will be a graduation ceremony this afternoon(with cupcakes). 
I didn’t think I was going to be able to hang out with everyone else in the program, since I’m already out of high school. But I was pleasantly surprised, and I did like talking to all of [...]

=(

By Nashia Kamal

So it’s really sad that it’s almost over. I had so much fun here and im gonna miss my friends (LUNCH LADIES….GUMMY BEAR!). Natalie, i’m going to miss poking you awake in the mornings, and your intense attitude when you think things are brewing (haha). Janah, im going to miss your amazing impressions, and the [...]

I’m going to enjoy sleeping in a real bed

By Gavin Huang

We left the Chinese takeout in the room if you wanted to know. Left them lined up on the shelves, labeled too. Thought it would make a nice gift for management. Lunch in the East Village is godawfully expensive these days.
Today’s the last day. Well, that was fun. My dog had fun too.

I’m wearing the [...]

Final Blog Entry

By Ani Sefaj

We’re almost done with this program. Just a few short hours left. This is my final blog entry. I thought yesterday would be the final entry. I was a little premature. So I don’t really have much to add.
We ate dinner at Gavin’s father’s restaurant. They gave us way to much food so I took [...]

That’s a Wrap

By Kaitlyn Kwan

So this is the last blog entry. Anyone who has actually bothered to read my blogs can forget about what I wrote at the bottom of the last one. Not that anyone reads this other than my mom. Hi mom.
Yesterday was fun. A nice end to the program. We went to Chinatown to eat at [...]

Never Dress Casually for Graduation, Never Pack and Shower When You’re Twenty Minutes Late and Never Write a Massive Blog

By Christian Torre

..Don’t say goodbye, only see you later. The program has gone full circle and the end has a similar scene to the beginning, all our bags packed, gathered at the back of the room and everyone huddled around their computers. Seeing the finished Spectrum, it takes a load off your chest to see all your [...]

One last time…

By Katherine Simeon

So I don’t really know what to say. It’s only been 10 days, and everyone is semi-nostalgic. Ami and Kaitlyn even took pictures of the doormen down in the lobby of 20 Cooper. It’s a weird feeling -saying farewell, and leaving everyone behind, especially in this program where 10 days felt like two months. You [...]

Going Home!

By Raina Drakes

We’re at the end and it’s time to leave. I really enjoyed this journalistic experience. Even though I didn’t click with people like the other kids did, I’m still happy that I was able to see what it would really be like to be a journalist. I now know that interning or working for a [...]
