Again, graduating for me will be bittersweet. Last night we had our end-of-the-year party for the Ambassadors. Last week I gave my last tour, and last night I had my last Ambassador meeting. It was really fun! All of the ambassadors got to spend time together. We also had our second annual “Ambassie Awards.” Last [...]

My cousin, Gavin, and my Uncle Keith came to visit last weekend. I had a blast taking them around campus, even though the weather was less than perfect. Despite some recent storms, today was beautiful! I took some pictures of a few places I am really going to miss. I wish my family could have [...]

I don’t know where the time has gone. It honestly feels like just yesterday I was moving into Gries and all of the Oriflamme leaders were helping me. I was terrified, but ready for the challenge. I knew that classes were hard and I would be away from my family and friends, but I figured [...]

My mom always told me to be patient. I had a hard time with that. I’m not good at waiting, and I’m terrible with surprises. She also taught me that hard work will pay off, even if you can’t see your accomplishments every day. I found myself clinging onto my mom’s words as I grew [...]

I can’t believe we’ve already had one Presidential Scholarship weekend this year! I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun I had. All of the candidates seemed absolutely wonderful, and their interviews were fantastic! This weekend is bittersweet for me. I’m really excited that I get to take part in another Pres Scholar [...]

As everyone already knows, I love my internship with the St. Louis Blues! In the Community Relations Department, we spend our time focusing on people in the community. The St. Louis Blues 14 Fund embodies everything a charitable trust should. On Sunday, we had our third annual casino night. Our 70s Disco Themed “Sunday Night [...]

I always look forward to Thanksgiving. Though the idea of turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and warm apple pie are always desired, I mostly anticipate the memories I get to make and cherish with my family. My mom and sister always give in to Black Friday shopping after my hours of begging. I don’t even need to [...]

I can’t believe I’m already a senior! It seems like just yesterday I was a freshman searching for all of my classes. My schedule is completley FULL! While I have no spare seconds to sit and relax, I find my time filled with fun-filled learning! My classes are, like PBS says, “fun and educational.” I’m [...]

I promised I would fill you in on what my life was like this summer. And guess what? The time is NOW. Alaskan Cruise – My family, boyfriend and I went on a seven day Alaskan Cruise. Our ports included Seward (my favorite!), Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan and Icy Strait Point. I can’t even begin to [...]

I did it: I drove twenty-four hours in two days.  It was a wonderful cause, though. I got to see my best friends from London! On Saturday, I drove down to Saint Louis and picked up my friend Megan. After another five hours of driving, I made it to my previous roommates farm! We surprised [...]
