#BBMAs – The Billboard Music Awards were held this weekend, and it was full of awe-inspiring performances and record-breaking award winners. Opening with Britney Spears performing a medley of her many hits, other noteworthy performers included Justin Bieber, Nick Jonas, Lukas Graham, P!nk, and Ariana Grande. At the end of the night, The Weeknd, who dedicated the first award of the night to the late Prince, took home 8 awards — the most ever received by a male artist at one time. Adele, Taylor Swift, Fetty Wap, Drake, and many other artists were also honored.
The Bellarion’s Graduates – Just like that, it’s time to say goodbye to the Class of 2016. Among the close to 400 Bobcats walking across the stage next week will be many of our very own writers and editors for the Bellarion. Don’t expect the stories to leave with them, though — the new 2016-2017 staff will be taking over right away! #VIRAL will now be covered by the new A&E Editor, Logan Burnett, and who will work alongside Brogan Gerhart as copy editor, and Adaora Ede as our new editor-in-chief. Be sure to congratulate our graduates, and for everybody else — good luck next year!
