Beat It Like A Drum

I've decided to do my beat on ways to have fun during the summer without spending a lot of money.  Most college students have tightly stretched budgets as it is, but you can still have a great summer without going broke.  There is much to do in Towson, as well as the surrounding areas, that can be enjoyed while keeping those flies in your wallet.  From athletic events to concerts, special nights at restaurants and bars to museums and historic locations, there is something in the area for everyone.  

I plan on not only letting you know about these activities, but also attending some of these events and places myself to give you the pertinent details or must-see attractions.  I believe that one of the reasons many students find themselves bored is because they are not aware of some of the options that are available to them.  Hopefully this blog will allow you to leave that group and make the most out of your summer without emptying your bank account.

A New Beginning

My name is Nick Kaufman.  I'm 23 years old, and will be a senior in the fall.  Several unfortunate circumstances led me to this class, as it will be my second time taking it, and for whom I have no one to blame but myself.  I really hope to do a 180 this time around, and with the right material I believe I will really be able to excel.  Though initially I can sometimes be shy around those I don't know, the interviews I have done for previous stories have helped to overcome that.  When open, my personality would likely be described as anything but shy.  I say what I think, even when it is going to get me in trouble, which is something I personally pride myself on.  My main goal for this class, besides passing, is to really show what I can do with effort and determination, and walk away knowing that I did my best, and that at least once I made someone look at something from another perspective or think about something more than they have before, even if the thought is fleeting.
