Student leadership is very strong on campus and each year I look forward to the leadership banquet. It is one of my favorite days on campus because it is a night where all of our hard work in student involvement is showcased. Tonight this night had more meaning than ever before because it has been four years [...]

This 2nd half of the semester I did Asian Culture…simply using Chinese boxes and chopsticks that were donated by local Chinese restaurants. Residents have [...]

I really don’t want to think about this…anytime a conversation is provoked or the idea of graduation is explored, sadness prevails. It is difficult to imagine that four years of college have already gone by. I remember yesterday like it was freshmen move-in day in 2005. I was in line at the gym at 7:45am. [...]

I have been an RA for the passed three years and this move in has been the slowest and most relaxing yet. We had to wake up at the crack of dawn, 7am, in order to be in the lobby by 8am, but once we were set up it was smooth sailing.

I landed in Florida on August 18th with Tropical Storm Fay hitting…torrential rain storms and hurling winds. It gets scary at times, especially if you are on the road. Hurricane Gustav really did a number on New Orleans. They said it was going to surpass Katrina, but it hasn’t yet and hopefully it won’t.
Freshman begin [...]

Being an RA for the third year in a row and usually each year training is the same. This year they spiced it up a bit, but we still have an endless amount of ice breakers to do. We really get to know each other really well. We are into the second week of training [...]
