Anyone who knows me can tell you how little the amount of time is I don’t have at least one earbud in during the day. Any chance I get, I’m listening to music. I figured I’d share some of my favorite albums right now since listening to music while studying is pretty much the best …

Three Movies To Get You Out of That Cold Weather Blues
I can’t believe it’s only the beginning of November and it’s already snowed. I usually don’t have to write a post like this until Thanksgiving, but you gotta take the curveballs as they come I guess! Something I really like to do when it starts to get cold is drive to Rivertown Crossings mall and see …

A Senior’s Take on Time Management
One thing that every college student knows, no matter what point they’re at, is that it’s really easy to get so wrapped up in homework and extracurriculars that time to unwind and relax often gets pushed to the wayside. There’s usually no shortage of things to do, the problem is remembering to make time in …
SAC Chicago Shopping Trip 2014 Recap
Somehow I made it all the way into my Junior year not knowing about the annual SAC Chicago Shopping Trip. It only costs $5, and that $5 gets you a bus ride to Chicago for an entire day. I had so much fun on the trip last year that I knew I had to get …
Is It Fall Yet?
While I love going to the State Park and enjoying Holland when it’s nice and summer-y out, nothing beats Holland in the fall. There are so many trees in Centennial Park that daily walks become a must, and cider and donuts from Crane’s is one of the best excuses to take a break from studying, …

I had received an email from Professor Isolde Anderson about the Communication Liverpool May Term, and I knew that second that it would be the one for me. After collecting some preliminary information, I submitted my application with my …
My Spring Break Plans
I’d be hard pressed to think of a Spring Break trip that topped last year’s to Soaring Eagle Casino with my mom and dad (sarcasm!). I guess it would’ve been more fun if my parents were big gamblers, but they aren’t so we all just hung around the Blackjack table. I know, I know. I’m …
How To Deal With The Snow
We should’ve known we’d be in it for the long haul after that gosh danged polar vortex swept through. I’m going to drop some honesty here – I hate snow to begin with. That being said, I’ve had to get creative to keep myself busy this winter. I’m going to share this valuable info with …
My Perfectly Boring Break
I didn’t go anywhere exciting for Christmas break, I didn’t really do all that much looking back. One thing’s for sure, though – it was exactly what I needed. The main thing I did over break was work. Over this past summer, I was fortunate enough to receive an internship from PVS Chemicals in Detroit, …
