A number of M-A students were lucky enough to witness a special choir performance from the Purdue Men’s Glee Club, held in M-A’s own Performing Arts Center. As students settled into their seats their small talk was quick to fade, as the singers were seen running down the aisles and spreading themselves out all over the auditorium, creating a terrific introduction to their first song. Throughout their fifty minute performance the Glee Club sang a variety of songs, beginning with Life is A Highway, and stretching all the way to Somewhere Over the Rainbow, ending with Purdue’s own original song, Hail Purdue.
As the show went on smiles broke out onto the students faces and spread throughout the auditorium. There were sophomores giggling about how attractive some of the singers were, while there were seniors with content looks on their faces, simply enjoying the show. Junior Emmett Lee stated how he thoroughly enjoyed the show, saying how “It was really impressive” and that “[He] really enjoyed it, especially watching the Purdue guys serenade the girls.” A highlight of the performance included each member of the Glee Club suddenly jumping offstage and running up to a girl, only to break out in song, serenading the girls with a beautiful rendition of When You’re Smiling. The words “Keep on smilin’, Cause when you’re smilin’, the whole world smiles with you” echoed throughout the auditorium, leaving the girls breathless and unable to stop themselves from blushing.
As the singers ended their last song, there was a quick moment of silence before bursts of applause broke out and the audience gave them a standing ovation. Watching the Purdue Glee Club was such an honor, and I am sure this performance will live on in everybody’s minds as the best performance of the year.

Book Recommendations

I am a huge book worm and try to read whenever I have time, which is usually late at night before I go to bed, on weekends, or on breaks. I recently found that I was short on books to read, which led me to research on Google novels that would appeal to me. Because I am a sucker for romance movies, I mainly looked for that genre of novels. I recently got a few novels in the mail along with a few that a friend let me borrow, and I want to share them with you. 1. The Fault In Our Stars by John Green - I have read this book around three or four times, and it is still my favorite novel. It is a story about two teenagers who do have cancer, but it focuses more on the blossoming love story between them and how their world changes because of that as they also go through ups and downs due to their illnesses. It is a great read anywhere and anytime, and will always make you tear up by the end. 2. Let It Snow - This novel consists of three holiday stories written by John Green, Maure...

Dairy-free Banana Bread

From the end of 2019 to now, I have been really into baking breads. Out of the ones I have made, making banana bread and pumpkin walnut bread have been my top favorites. One of the first banana breads that I made was utterly delicious! However, because I like to share my baked goods with others, particularly my boyfriend, I went on the hunt for a dairy free recipe. My boyfriend is lactose intolerant, and I wanted to bake something that both he and I could enjoy. So, upon coming upon this recipe during my search online, I made a loaf last night and it was so delicious I had to share it on the blog. Here is the recipe!
