Guest Post: Second Student Op-Ed

The Oxford Tradition blog is pleased to feature the second Guest Op-Ed from our student journalist, Tatiana Esposito. We will be featuring writing from Tatiana, a student studying Journalism as her minor, a few more times over the rest of the programme.

Karaoke:


Singing in the shower is one thing, but this Sunday night dozens of students from the Oxford Tradition got up and sang in front of their friends and classmates. The karaoke was bettered only by the presence of Dr. Richard Grayson who, dressed in an oversized polo and a doo-rag, doubled as the night’s MC.

The set list ran the gamut from Kesha to Bon Jovi to an a capella rendition of Lonely Island’s Lazy Sunday. Victoria Carbol nabbed first prize for her outstanding version of Lady Antebellum’s Need You Now, followed closely by a version of Sexy Back that would have made Justin Timberlake jealous.

However, more impressive than the wide-ranging talent was the bravery each performer displayed. Whether a soloist or a group of five friends, whatever each was lacking in rhythm, they made up for many times over in courage.
