Time and Change

Tuesday, April 23rd, 2013

I remember when I first got to college, I thought, Hmmmm. I don’t think I’m going to like it here. And I didn’t like it. Because it was different from high school. Because not all my friends were around anymore. Because it was so overwhelming and scary. My thoughts included: how the heck am I [...]

Advice from Someone Who Graduates in Less Than 17 Days (Me)

Wednesday, April 17th, 2013

My advice: don’t grow up. My other advice: stay in college forever; do not graduate under any circumstances. My last advice: the first two pieces of advice are not viable.

Things That Are Awesome: Free Fitness Classes!

Wednesday, April 10th, 2013

I am a firm believer in the idea that it is never too late to do or try something new. Case in point: today I took my first yoga class.

Today.

Tuesday, April 2nd, 2013

Today is my birthday. I am now twenty-two. I’m pretty sure this means that I’m old. I’m trying to ignore this.

The Beginning of the End

Friday, March 29th, 2013

Some people might say that the first day of your senior year is the Beginning of the End. Some people might say that it’s the first day of spring semester of your senior year. But I think the Beginning of the End is the day that you finally figure out what the heck you’re doing [...]

How To Choose The Right School For You

Friday, March 22nd, 2013

I feel like I have a little bit of authority on this subject since I’m about to graduate. Okay, maybe not “authority”, but I definitely feel like I can give some good advice about this topic.

The Day The 19th U.S. Poet Laureate Told Me To Email Her

Thursday, February 21st, 2013

I know I rant and rave all the time about how great Ohio State is because of the people who work and study here. But I’m not sure that I rant and rave enough about how great the people who we bring to Ohio State are. I’m going to correct that short-coming on my part [...]

Things I Wish I Paid Attention To Freshman Year

Saturday, February 16th, 2013

If you’re not an OSU student, then what you might not know is the active role that your advisor can play in your academic experience at Ohio State–if you let them.

Valentine’s Day + President’s Day = Awesome Day

Thursday, February 14th, 2013

I could say a lot about these “valentines” from some commanders-in-chief, but I’ll let their pictures do the talking.

Acceptance Letters = Happy Tears In Front Of Your Co-Workers

Tuesday, January 29th, 2013

I am very excited to announce that I have just heard back from my first law school–and I’ve been accepted!!!

Week Three: A Summary

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2013

The first few weeks of the new year always go by really quickly for me since I’ve come to college. For one thing, the hectic craziness that is sorority recruitment takes up the first two weekends of the term for me. For another, there’s the difficulty of getting into a new routine, with different classes, [...]

Post-Christmas Letdowns: A Small Saga of Hope

Friday, December 28th, 2012

Those couple days after Christmas are just….blah. Some people call it post-holiday blues, but that sounds much too severe. I think it’s pretty common, actually. Some great and totally awesome event just happened and now it’s over and you’re kind of wondering what exactly to do next, since all your time before was spent preparing [...]

I’ve Been Published!

Friday, December 7th, 2012

And not just in this blog–a concert review I wrote earlier this week has been published in UWeekly, an independent newspaper not affiliated with OSU, but that is distributed around campus. And the editor really liked it, so I’m going to be writing more concert reviews for them in the future!

What I Learned About Black Friday

Friday, November 23rd, 2012

It’s a bit of a tradition for two old friends and I to get together in the wee hours of the morning on Black Friday and head to the stores to people watch. While we’ve never personally witnessed any rioting, trampling, or violence, we have seen nasty words exchanged between irate and frantic shoppers. This [...]

Scheduling for My Last Semester

Friday, October 26th, 2012

Scheduling is a funny thing. As my friend Sarah once said, “No matter how much I plan out my schedule, it always ends with me crying, something broken, and a 7 am class.” While Sarah does have a flair for the dramatic, with the semester change taken into account, I think that this time, she’s [...]
