By Matt Gagliano What’s up gamers. Normally I would punctuate that sentence with an exclamation point, however this time, that “what’s up gamers” is somewhat somber. You see, I am graduating in a few weeks, and this will be my last article as a member of Binghamton Review and as a student of Binghamton University. As the editor-in-chief, I feel like I should follow in the footsteps of the previous editors and write a reflection…
The College Experience: My Two Cents
By Joe Badalamenti It’s finally over. At time of writing, I am less than four weeks from graduation, the culmination of four years of college life. Now that I’ve reached this stage, I can finally write my obligatory graduation advice article. Not to brag but most advice found in advice articles tends to be either painfully obvious (not that the advice presented here isn’t obvious) or revolve around the meaning of a vague at best,…
Insecurity: is there a cure?
By Madeline Perez I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that you, reader, have an insecurity. Maybe you think you’re ugly, or maybe unlovable; possibly even sexually dysfunctional. Why not all three! Everyone is insecure about something unless they’re not smart enough to know how to doubt themselves, like toddlers. Actually, do toddlers have insecurities? I’m not sure on that one, so don’t quote me on anything. Anyway, it’s my belief…
Why the Weather Sucks
By Dillon O’Toole I was originally intending to close out this semester with another article that tells you what new music I have been listening to lately, cleverly disguised as an article claiming to be about the best music released in 2022. Instead, it has come to my attention that a more pressing matter is in need of broader attention, one which affects the entire population of Binghamton University and the rest of Broome County. …
Cultural Degeneration and the Fall of American Cinema
By Gunga Din The Anglosphere, in particular the United States, has for years lagged behind their European counterparts in art and culture. Besides several exceptions, including the works of Shakespeare and the artist William Hogarth, England fell behind several centuries of Continental operas, artwork, and paintings, otherwise known as high culture. In the 1920s, however, the United States began to dominate the film industry with Hollywood. Although the U.S. did not successfully enter European Continental…
Publication Report Card
By Our Staff With the spring semester coming to a close, it’s time to look back on the work of Binghamton’s college publications and grade them accordingly. Pipe Dream: C Within this year, we saw, for better or worse, Pipe Dream return to printing physical issues. Unfortunately, their stacks are always full because (you know the lines). In terms of content, it’s been more of the same: boring “news articles” and cringy opinion articles competing…
Next Year’s E-Board
By Our Staff Arthur: Arthur “A-Dog” O’Sullivan is a sophomore Biology/Classics double major. He enjoys writing articles on center-right politics, art, and holiday-themed fiction. He needs a girlfriend. Madeline: Howdy, faithful Bing Review readers! I, Madeline Perez, am back for yet another wildly successful year on the E-board. While it was a great honor being Managing Editor, in order to fulfill my lifelong dream of running a dictatorship, I knew I had to brutally murder…
