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 [...]
It’s a big tour week at SLU. So many families are coming to visit the school for their spring breaks, and we are so happy to have them! Yesterday was one of those very, very busy days. Because our tour group was so big, we had to bring everyone to an auditorium in the Business [...]
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 [...]
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 it’s almost Thanksgiving! I have had the time of my life this semester, and I feel like there is something excitng going on every weekend. On Saturday, NOVEMBER 14, 2009, I went to the St. Louis Zoo with the freshmen Presidential Scholars. We had an AMAZING time. But why do I stress [...]
TOURS! (And being a tour guide, of course!) Today, just like every Monday and Friday at noon, I gave a tour to prospective students. I only had three families to give a tour to, and it made their visit that much more special. I’m known as the “Queen of Random Facts” by some tour guides. [...]
Just when you think SLU couldn’t get any better, it does! This weekend was AMAZING! SLU always has a wonderful homecoming weekend, but this one surpasses all the rest! On Friday, we had an amazing concert with Sam and Ruby, The Maine and Eric Hutchinson. It was a REALLY good concert! Even better, the forecast [...]
