Former Men's Tennis Captain Shines Light On His Senior Season

Former Men’s Tennis Captain, Vince Bellino, capped off his senior season with an untouched 9-0 record in NE-10 singles and an 8-2 finish in conference doubles play. Bellino also became one of the few Warriors to join the 100 wins club. He helped the Warriors achieve a fifth straight regular-season title, as well as a third Northeast-10 Championship, which has been accomplished within the last four seasons.

Bellino’s perseverance also shined off the court as he boasted a 3.97 GPA in the classroom, which in return helped him achieve Capital One Academic All-American status.

Q: After a tough loss to Southern New Hampshire University and an end to the 2014 campaign, what did you want to change going into your final season as a Warrior?

A: "After our loss to SNHU, I wanted to improve upon cultivating a stronger culture. It was important for us to be resilient and confident in ourselves as we entered next season."

Q: What were your personal and team goals going into your senior season?

A: "My goals were to win the NE-10 Championship and have a successful run at the NCAA tournament."

Q: Were there any challenges along the way? How did you overcome them?

A: "Well, it was important for us to use our loss to SNHU as a learning experience."

Q: Who would you say has been most influential in your success both on and off the court?

A: "I am fortunate to have had several mentors over the last four years who played an influential role in my success both on and off the court."

Q: What’s your best memory being a Warrior?

A: "Winning the NE-10 Championship both my freshman and senior year was special in their own ways."

Q: Looking back, is there anything that you would have changed?

A: "I would have liked to have tennis courts on campus."

Q: What’s some advice you have for rising warriors?

A: "Be willing to put yourself in an uncomfortable position and have the confidence in yourself to overcome the associated adversities."

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
