The time of year is upon us once again, and it only means one thing: PARENTS WEEKEND ! The only downfall of this time means my parents usually are unable to travel to Butler, but the fun thing about this weekend is seeing all my friend's parents. Each year it is always interesting to see who my friend's...

Dressing up in costumes is the most renowned college Halloween festivity, but I am here to make a case for an under-appreciated seasonal favorite: carving pumpkins, an activity beloved by social chairs of college clubs everywhere. It seems that every organization I am in decides to host a pumpkin carving...

Writing the words "writing" and "Boy Scouts" next to one another made me realize I should somehow include Boy Scouts in my NaNoWriMo novel. I'm wearing my beautiful new NaNoWriMo 2009 shirt . (Thanks, Dad!) That's right. It's November 1, and it's a mark of how much...

Because we pharmacy kids get no social time whatsoever (HA! just look at all of the Facebook browsing in class!), Lindsey and Kelsey invited me over for pumpkin carving. Thankfully, Meijer labels things, otherwise I would have thought I was purchasing an orange. (Note the ridiculous battlescar. My pumpkin...

Right now is somewhat of a depressing time for me, for different reasons. #1, I have like ten thousand things to do in the next two weeks.....and I'm not looking forward to it....and #2, this weekend is Halloween weekend, and for the first time in my 20 years on this earth, I don't have any plans...

Time to talk about the weather! Don't you hate it when you're at a party and you're the person who doesn't know anybody--or even worse, you're at some neighborhood function and everyone still thinks you're 8 years old--and you can't come up with anything to talk about so you...

Ah yet another fall semester is almost done and in 2 days the long weekend known as Fall break will bring quiet mayhem to the streets of Butler. Though I shouldn't participate in the festivities, because I still have classes as normal at IUPUI, I'll make an exception this year...(and every year...

Before I left for Spain, I thought of all the things that might make me homesick, and American holidays was near the top of that list. I mean, fall is packed with them - Halloween, Election Day, Thanksgiving... but now that I'm here, I realize that it is even more exciting to see how America's...

Well...a lot of fun has been had in the past week. Where do I even begin?! It's been crazy, but a BLAST!! I guess I'll start with this last week -- Halloween!! We had people over to my house and also went to some other houses around Butler. My roommates and I dressed up at 3/5 of the Village...

I stayed up pretty late last night waiting for the last of the election results to come in, even though the victor was clear even before every state was accounted for. I can't say I was happy...but, some things just don't turn out the way you would like them to! I was mostly shocked by the difference...

So the day that I have been waiting for for at least the past 8 years is finally here! The first election day that I get to vote.....whoohoo! The polls will open in about 5 hours or so on the east coast....and hopefully in 24 hours we will know who our next president will be. :) For some of us, this...

Wow, finally a second to breathe after all of this excitement! We won both games this weekend. This puts us in a great position for our conference rankings. The information on the horizon League page isn't updated yet, but I want to say these two wins puts us in 5th place! Friday's game was a...

What's this ... aren't college kids too old to celebrate halloween? uhh no especially when there are halloween parties out there like Sigma Nu's Voodoo. OK yes there are other fraternities you could go to on Halloween but WHY would you want to? If you're still abit scheptical that's...

As you all have probably realized by now, I am absolutely obsessed with the holiday of Halloween. Ever since handing out candy last weekend (see previous blog), I've been eager for a chance to dress up in a costume of my own! Luckily, this Saturday brought that very opportunity. One of my best friends...

For some reason it always seems that papers, exams, and other important things are all due around the same time. We have two more weeks left of regular season play before the conference tournament in Milwaukee. That means, I have three weeks to get my life together. Since we only had the Wright State...
