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 [...]

If you come to SLU, you can never expect to have a dull moment. I love being involved, meeting new people and making a difference. When I walked into the closing session of Presidential Scholar Weekend, this is what I saw: Yes, this is me! I couldn’t believe my eyes when I walked in. Towards [...]

My favorite weekends of the year are, yes, you guessed it…PRES SCHOLAR WEEKENDS! We get to meet so many people and show them how amazing SLU is.

When I looked at my blog, I realized this never posted from last week. I need to work on improving my technological skills. Sorry! I thought I was going to have a severe case of travel withdrawal when I returned from my semester abroad, but boy was I wrong! Whether I’ve gone ice skating, to [...]

OMIGOD OMIGOD YOU GUYS!  I love how much St. Louis has to offer. From great dining to wonderful shows, St. Louis has it all! Speaking of wonderful shows… On Saturday night my boyfriend took me to see Legally Blonde the Musical at the Fox. It was AMAZING! I know so many people who have seen [...]

After traveling throughout Europe almost every weekend, I thought I was going to be in complete withdrawal when I came back to SLU. But boy, was I surprised! I’ve been in St. Louis for almost a week, and I haven’t even noticed that I can’t just fly to Spain for the weekend. I’ve been SOOO [...]

I wish there was one thing I could say to sum up my experience in London so far. Instead of telling you all the stories, I’ll just give you words: curler, rain, Lithuanians, coffee, pictures, lamp, freezer burn, ladder, windows, converter, Tube, walking, street lamps, Draino, bargain shopping, laundromats, tourists, pubs, Primark, King James’ toilet, [...]
