A Californian’s Survival Guide to Freezing Weather

By Lynn Tay On February 3, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Lynn Tay
After a year and half of living in New York, I have finally mastered the art of dressing for the freezing temperatures of New York with the assistance and persistent training from my suite mates Laurie Fogelstrom and Monika Khaltsev.  I remember that I was lucky with the very mild winter New York had last winter.  This year, I must say I have not been as fortunate.  So far this week, we have had weather [...]

The End of a Year but the Start of a New

By Lynn Tay On January 24, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Lynn Tay
Looking back on my winter break on the East Coast, I must say that my winter break has passed by too fast for my liking. It was my first full winter here on the East Coast. Before winter break came, I anticipated my winter break to crawl by slowly and be uneventful and dull. I was pleasantly surprised and found myself having a very eventful winter break. I had the pleasure to explore Long Island, [...]

The Sea(hawk) Experience

By Lynn Tay On January 16, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Beyond NY, Lynn Tay
Every year on our training trip, the Wagner swimming and diving team are given an afternoon off from practice and have the chance to spend the day in whichever way they like.  Some of my teammates decided to turn into true beach bums and stayed on the beach all day the moment we were done with morning practice.  Others decided to take a nap in the room and simply lounge at the beach, while others [...]

A Sunny Day Is a Happy Day

By Lynn Tay On January 14, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Beyond NY, Lynn Tay
Greetings from Fort Lauderdale, Florida! The past three days have been sunny and warm here, which makes every day a beautiful day despite all of the early morning practices followed by grueling afternoon practices we have had upon arrival here.  Our hotel is only a hop, skip, and a step away from the gorgeous sandy beach of Lauderdale.  The beach calls us from our rooms as soon as we come back from morning practice, and [...]

My First White Christmas

By Lynn Tay On January 3, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Beyond NY, Lynn Tay
For Christmas this year, my sister and I went up to Boston, Massachusetts, to spend a few days with our brother and sister-in-law.  We had our very first white Christmas!  My favorite things to do are to hang out with my family and watch movies while eating warm, hearty food, and play board games after dinner.  This Christmas I have been able to relax with my siblings and enjoy the food that my sister-in-law cooked [...]

Hearing Christmas Bells

By Lynn Tay On January 2, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Lynn Tay, On campus
As winter break approached, students on campus bustled and scurried to finish last-minute assignments and get all of their studying in as final examinations began.  In the midst of finals week, I had the pleasure of enjoying a holiday concert put on by the Wagner College Concert Band.  On December 8, 2012, at 3:00 PM, I entered the newly renovated Main Hall building and nestled myself next to my suite mate to enjoy a beautiful [...]

A Meet to Remember

By Lynn Tay On December 7, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Beyond NY, Lynn Tay
The crowd is going wild.  Cheering fills the air, and all I can hear is “go, go, go” reverberating through the air of the pool.  Swimmers from all four teams line the sides of the pool, their arms flailing frantically in the air, pushing on their fellow teammates.  One lap of freestyle left to go, and all six girls are head-to-head as they approach the last fifteen yards of the race.  They touch the wall, [...]

Dental Impressions

By Lynn Tay On November 20, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Lynn Tay, Part of NYC
Although Wagner College is a small school, it is a school with big opportunities. I am a biology major with a Pre-Dentistry concentration. As part of the Pre-Dentistry Society and Wagner College’s Pre-Health program, I learn about many different opportunities to learn more about the profession that I am interested in. Last Saturday morning, I joined many other members of the Pre-Dentistry Society to attend New York University’s (NYU) Dental Impressions event. The morning began [...]

Helping Cedar Grove Beach Residents

By Lynn Tay On November 6, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Lynn Tay, Part of NYC
Sunday afternoon, upon my return back to campus, I had the means to go down with my swim coach and some swimming teammates to the destroyed area of Cedar Grove Beach on Staten Island to help out.  I did not know what to expect when I arrived, and I could not believe the ruin Hurricane Sandy left in her wake.  My coach, teammates, and I parked about a quarter of a mile away from the [...]
