The Fordham Ram's Summer To-Do List
The Fordham Ram’s Summer To-Do List
Editorial Director April 30, 2025
No matter how many times you are forced to make the transition from school life back to the real world, there’s always a good chance that you find yourself repeatedly asking the question — “Well, what do I do now?” It even feels a little more needed this year, considering The Ram has spent the last four-ish months reporting on just how extremely bleak everything in the world seems to be; the least that we could do right now is to call for some fun and whimsy! Thus, in the name of both tradition and trying to actually bring something positive to the table when everyone needs it the most, The Ram would like to present its 2025 summer to-do list.

Beyond Being a Good Editor
Beyond Being a Good Editor
Allison Schneider, Editor-in-Chief

The standard of perfection isn’t to be perfect, it’s to be impossible, and funnily enough, it doesn’t work with my goals; it works against them. Perfection has its own means, and prioritizing the unattainable means compromising my own goals. 
Sometimes You Have to Listen to Be Heard
Sometimes You Have to Listen to Be Heard
Erynn Sweeney, Assistant Culture Editor
Listening is a difficult thing to do. It is not passive but an active skill that takes a lot of practice. I think that changing the way we think about listening and the way we listen can make a big difference, not only in our conversations but also in our feelings of connection to the people around us.
