Emma Heineman is a junior from Bailey, Colorado. She is pursuing degrees in political science and international studies. Since I flew back home to Colorado in March when all of this pandemic craziness began, I have been aware of how blessed I am to live where I do. I have watched as other friends’ […]

That Time I…recorded an album
Since I was 13 years old, I have been singing in a classic rock cover band. Despite having had original music tucked away in journals, we continued our musical journey with only cover songs for almost eight years. Recently, over the summer, we decided it was time to venture into the world of original music […]
That Time I …..Wrote A Play
These past two semesters at NSU have made up my final year as an undergraduate student. The three years leading up to my senior year were filled with science classes and labs, leaving me little time to invest in creative projects of my own. Medical school is my destination after I graduate, but before I […]
That Time I …. Went to Spain
After a week of midterms, it was Friday night, and I was packing for my trip to Spain. Typically, my spring break consists of enjoying beaches in Florida, so I never thought I would be enjoying the beaches of another country. I was extremely excited because I have never left the country before, and I […]
That time I… became a survivor, not a victim
Kelsey Bruce, The Current’s A&E editor, is a sophomore speech language and communication disorders major who takes pride in her prolix Spotify playlists, zany greeting card collection and oddly specific poetry. She holds a volunteer position at Nicklaus Children’s Miramar Outpatient Center and as a Title IX Peer Educator for NSU. In her spare time, […]
That Time I: learned how to scuba dive
In Florida, many people are certified to scuba dive, but back home for me in Connecticut, certified divers are few and far between. Both of my parents have been certified for many years, so when we went on a family vacation to Aruba, I was excited to try. In 2012, we went on a family […]
That Time I… worked on a professional set
Over winter break, I had the opportunity to work on a professional television set. Throughout the semester, I was interning with a fairly new production company in South Florida. I was working on smaller sets with people within the local industry. South Florida is not a big market for film compared to New York or […]
That time I… found my place in the crowd
Identity in college is a tumultuous abstraction for anyone, and I am no exception. But if there are three things I know about myself, they’re that I love music, I love dancing and I don’t do well in crowds. About one year ago, I found a wonderful exception to that last descriptor. During NSU spring […]
That Time I… Went to Pride
I’m straight and I went to Pride in June 2018. For some odd reason, when I tell people I went to the parade they look at me like I’m crazy because they think it’s an exclusive event for only the LGBT+ Community, which I find is a huge misconception. Attending the Pride Parade in New […]
That Time I… interned at a Law firm
Lindsey Spina is a freshman communications major at NSU. She is originally from Orlando, Florida. Spina interned at the law firm for the summer of 2016 and 2017. When I was 11, I decided that I was going to be an attorney. I had my entire future set and planned to go into family law. […]
