  • Summer Stress?

    Written by: | May 21, 2013

    Isn’t it the summer time when you’re supposed to chill by the pool, read a good book, or have a good old-fashioned cookout with family and friends? When school’s out and all your worries just melt away in the sun? Can someone show me the sun??

    An Oscar Wilde Tea Party, A Woman of No Importance

    I’ve been having an exciting this summer preparing for my role in Evolution Theatre Company’s modern day production of Oscar Wilde’s A Woman of No Importance. We have been working since mid-april and it opens tomorrow (!).  Columbus has a vibrant theatre scene and I’m excited to perform with all of these talented actors.

    It doesn’t quite feel like summer without a smoothie

    Written by: | May 15, 2013

    I’m alive, and i’ve been busy. I have a lot of exciting things to share about what I’m doing, now, what I’m doing this summer, and what I’m doing next year.

    But first things first.

    SUMMMER!

    It hasn’t quite hit me (mostly because I’m taking 2 mayterm classes…) but the regular academic year at Ohio State is over…. so now it’s time to sit back, relax and enjoy.

    Three Months of Freedom

    Written by: | May 12, 2013

    I was finished with finals nearly 2 weeks ago, yet many of my friends have yet to arrive home. Consequently, I have had more free time in the past two weeks than I think I have ever had in my life. Read the rest of this entry »

    The Life And Times Of A Summer Student, Part 1

    Written by: | May 11, 2013

    For the first time in my life, I can say I’m happy to be taking summer school. High school me would faint if I said those words.

    I’m only taking two classes, but with how my life is going right now I feel like I can take on the world.

    How To End Your Sophomore Year Well

    Written by: | May 7, 2013

    Whoa it’s been a while. Blogging is back in my life once again. Sophomore year was insane. Everything from work, to school, to changing majors, to my faith life, I’m happy to say that my sophomore year has been the best, out of my first two at least.

    I’m not going to trouble you with reading about everything that happened this year, you can read my other posts. But I want to really emphasize how much actually went down this semester to help shape me as a person.

    Not So Perfect Anymore

    Written by: | May 6, 2013

    After only a year at The Ohio State University, I am proud to say that I am no longer the student I was in high school. Though some things have dropped, I am confident that the path I am on now will prove to be most rewarding for me in the future. Read the rest of this entry »

    Freshman Year. Check.

    Written by: | May 5, 2013

    Well hey.

    I guess you can say I got swept up in the end of the year and that would be true! I got really involved with my church and then finals came along and things were really crazy. But I am back home now for the summer, a birthday has passed (yes, I’m nineteen), and I’m done with my freshman year of college. Wow, that’s really hard to believe.

    The Final Finals

    Written by: | May 2, 2013

    Even though I’m a senior (for a few more days, anyway), my senior spring semester course load wasn’t a joke. I had an internship, a graduate-level history of art class, and two other courses. So how did I luck out so much with finals? Read the rest of this entry »

    A long time coming

    Written by: | May 2, 2013

    Stardate – May 2nd, and I’m done with the first spring semester in Ohio State history.  I’ve finally made it back to Houston, Texas for a couple of weeks before the best summer of my life starts so far. And I know you’re still wondering why my leaves of absences keep happening. But my sophomore year has been the busiest time of my life.

    Death to the Beach

    Written by: | May 1, 2013

    I think this may be the longest the blog has gone without an update in quite some time. That is really more a testament to how awesome most of our writers are, myself excluded since it has been a whole month in my case.

    This one part of semesters has been bothering me for quite some time, and I don’t believe it gets enough recognition. Yes, people mention that classes are longer and harder, midterms last forever, and overall people just enjoy complaining about change, but everyone is missing the big picture. A long standing tradition has disappeared with the transition…
