Staying healthy in college is a task that all students are faced with and this video delves into how students can stay healthy while navigating new environments.
Brooke Bisceglia ’23 talks about what it is like living off-campus at Lehigh University. Bisceglia discusses what living with 4 roommates entails.
This is a video discussing my silver lining of the pandemic. Even though it was hard being stuck at home I got to spend time with my family and it turned out to not be as difficult as I thought it would be.
As the Lehigh Community comes back together after a year of being virtual, the Lehigh cheerleading team is taking charge in bringing back school spirit. Captain Brooke Bisceglia leads the team at games but, more importantly, also in a return to normality during practice. During COVID-19 the cheer team was unable to hold practices – something that is extremely important in creating a sense of community among the team. While during games the cheerleaders can show the Lehigh Community all they have to offer, practice is where the team hones in on the skills needed to perform. Bisceglia, a Junior at Lehigh University, holds practices and tries to create a normal environment for the team. Although masks are worn during practice and students are still encouraged to stay distant, this year has shown to have brought the cheerleading team closer together. Focusing on the hard work that the cheerleaders put into fostering spirit encompasses the true activity and importance of the Lehigh cheerleading team. Bisceglia said, “As Lehigh cheers, we understand that we have a responsibility to bring energy to games, and the way we do this is by building a community together as a team.” The way that the Lehigh cheerleading team presents themselves at games and to the public stems from the work they put in behind the scenes. “What people don’t realize is that there are so many things to consider when we are trying to make ourselves put together and in unison, there is a lot of fine-tuning that goes into looking clean and precise at games and that all happens during practice,” said Bisceglia.
As Lehigh comes back together it is the people in leadership positions that are pushing Lehigh back into a normal year. Lehigh students come from a place of constantly striving to be the best they can be in their studies, athletics, and social life. The Lehigh cheer community is a prime example of all that Lehigh does to create a strong identity and Brooke Bisceglia is an example of how students lead each other and force each other to be better as a team. “All Lehigh students undergo a good amount of stress and we have plentiful other responsibilities, we try to put that aside and enjoy the time that we have together,” said Bisceglia.
