Luis Rosario Contributing Writer A few days ago, I asked a close friend how their winter break was; they replied by saying, “It was alright I guess, I just binge watched Breaking Bad, Heisenberg is so cool bro.” This friend hurt me more then they’ll ever know. Walter White didn’t go from highchool teacher…
Twitter, recognizable by its famous blue icon of a bird, is the perfect place to share short pieces of information and see what everyone on the app is talking about. Those moments where everyone seems to be talking about the same thing are better known as trending topics, which allow users to go on the…
Growing up, a lot of people would say their favorite show was a cartoon of some kind. SpongeBob has been popular for a long time, but I am willing to go as far back as Tom and Jerry, Looney Toons and Mickey Mouse. All of these characters and shows entertained us for years. After a…
As Donald Trump’s administration begins, Americans say their farewells to President Barack Obama. Many Americans thanked the president for his long service to the nation. Many Americans will remember the killing of Osama Bin Laden as one of Obama’s crowning achievements. In 2008 Obama promised to pull troops out of the Middle East, close Guantanamo…
I spent last semester studying abroad. While away from Bonaventure, I was able to gain perspective of what I missed most about being a student here. Without a doubt, that was The BV. As soon as I got back to campus this semester, I had to stop by the Reilly Center to pick up my…
To me, being at a concert is one of the most exciting experiences. It’s awesome to be around a lot of people who love the same songs as you and can sing them as just loud and horrible. I think if people had the money, a lot more people would be attending concerts by their…
In 2016 the presidential election was one of the most talked about and controversial topics of the year. Regardless of the side people took in the divisive campaigns fostered from each side, Donald J. Trump emerged successful. Friday marks the inauguration where Trump will be sworn in as the 45th president of the United States.…
More than 48 years ago, standing on the back of a flatbed truck in Indianapolis, IN, a man addressed an anxious crowd. Just hours before, Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated outside of a motel in Memphis, TN. Riots consumed countless cities across the country in an uprising of violent protests not seen since the…
After nearly 18 years, the Intellectual Journey will finally be laid to rest following next semester. In 1998, a team of faculty and staff created the Intellectual Journey as an effort to offer a course grounded in Bonaventure’s great work, The Mind’s Journey into God. The course highlighted the Catholic-Franciscan tradition within a liberal arts…
As a freshman, I thought The BV was lame. Obviously, I was wrong. Looking back on the last two years as an editor, I remember tears. A lot of them. Mainly on those nights that I sat at my desk laying out a page at 3 a.m. and I could barely keep my eyes open…
There are few places I’d rather spend my time than in the basement of the Reilly Center. If that seems like a strange statement, well, it is. But then again, it might just seem weird to those who haven’t hunkered down in The Bona Venture newsroom on Wednesdays to put together an entire newspaper in…
With Thanksgiving last week and Christmas fast approaching, many Bonaventure students have been able to head home and spend some time at the dinner table, eating quality meals with their families. Although these holidays are supposed to be an opportunity to spend good times with their relatives, the election is still fresh in many American’s…
I used to ask myself a whole list of questions each morning when I woke up. One included, “Ok, Fraser. What do you want to be today?” All throughout high school, I was told I give off “bisexual vibes.” For a while, the person I called my best friend was set on convincing me I…
Fidel Castro has died, and the world is better off because of it. For over 50 years, Castro brutalized the Cuban people without a single hint of remorse. Unfortunately, in the days following his death, many politicians and journalists memorialized Castro’s life as if he were some beloved martyr. Jill Stein, the green party candidate…
Anti-Trump protesters took to the streets this week, revolting against the results of last week’s presidential election. Immediately following Donald Trump’s victory, droves of frustrated Americans marched together across the country to demonstrate their disappointment. Some teachers even gave students permission to skip classes and midterms to join protests. Many of the demonstrations remained peaceful,…
It has been three months since the beginning of the 2016 Olympic Games. Both the United States men and women’s teams had remarkable performances this year. The two teams combined earned a total of 121 medals, making them the winningest of all competing countries. The U.S. women Olympic athletes truly stole the show. They collected…
As each coming year passes, the ratings for the NHL are getting lower and lower, and something needs to be done in order to stop this trend. During last year’s Stanley Cup Final, the number of people who watched the action were heavily outnumbered by those tuning into the NBA Finals and even late-night slam…
When the Dallas Cowboys drafted Dak Prescott in the 4th round of the 2016 NFL Draft, they had one goal in mind: find Tony Romo a backup. There were no expectations for a franchise quarterback, or for a starting job challenge with Romo. The front office simply sought a reliable play caller that could hold…
