Is second semester of senior year really as great as everyone says it is? Does being consistently bombarded with questions about after graduation ever get annoying? As the class of 2010 progresses through its last semester at Skidmore, Skidmore News will ask seniors these questions and more.

Skidmore News: So, tell us about yourself.

Anthony Ferri: I'm Anthony Ferri. I'm from Jersey and I'm a senior Business/Economics Double Major.

SN: So, you're a senior and it's your senior spring semester. How do you feel about that?

AF: I'm excited. So excited because I have a joke semester. I'm taking Ceramics (so excited), History of Earth and Life pass/fail and three physical activities. I love senior spring. It's awesome.

SN: What was one of your best experiences at Skidmore?

AF: Well, I don't know about the best, but I can tell you the most interesting.

SN: That's fine, go for it.

AF: I had lunch with Trey Anastasio [lead singer/guitarist of Phish] by accident one time. I was at Quiznos up on Broadway and he was just standing in line so I said, "You're Trey," and we just started talking. We sat together and talked about music, Phish, his being under house arrest in Saratoga [for criminal drug possession charges] and UVM and college in general. He was so nice. Like super uber nice.

Oh, and the best moment is probably when we beat Middlebury in hockey my Sophomore year. That was sick. They were No. 1 in the nation.

SN: What are three things you hope to accomplish by the time you graduate?

AF: 1.) Take as many art classes as possible.

2.) Get a job before April 15 … so I can spend the next month attempting to ruin the job offer I just received.

3.) Whatever I want. That's corny but it's kind of how I live my life anyway. I do what I want and I love what I do.

SN: Any regrets about the past four years?

AF: I regret not being an Art major.

SN: Why's that?

AF: Because over there at the art building they have more resources than the rest of the school combined. They have, like, seventeen huge ceramics ovens.

SN: What's your favorite restaurant in Saratoga Springs?

AF: Cantina for the whole experience but the Local for the best food.

SN: I have to ask … You're from Jersey so what do you think about the Jersey Shore?

AF: I think it sucks that a stupid stereotype had to ruin the entire state. That's not how kids in Jersey are at all.
