So finals are finally over!! I am almost done packing! I just can't contain the excitement for Nicaragua! I know I'm using far to many exclamation points in a row, but I can't help it! I'm so excited!! The team's worked so hard to raise the money for the trip and we finally get to...

I'm so excited that all of my finals are over!!! I can't wait to go home and spend Christmas with my family!! I'm even more excited because I'm finally getting a car!! I still have to stick around Butler a few days, but without any work I can manage it. The only thing I really have to...

The Holiday season is upon us!! This is one of my favorite times of the year, despite the cold! In the spirit of the season the volleyball team decided to do a few projects to give back to the Indianapolis community!! I love doing stuff like this, especially as a team. This week we helped with a program...

I was so excited about getting to go back home for break. You know the usual is always great seeing my family, friends, and most importantly the 80 degree temperatures! Unfortunately only two out of three of those were very consistent this Thanksgiving break. It was warm for two days, and then it was...

We fought hard tonight, but it's the end of the season as of tonight. We finished 5th in conference, but lost in the quarter finals of the Horizon League tournament . We played Valpo and gave it our best. We were all sad that we lost, but we couldn't help but laugh on the bus at probably one...

Well with the semester and volleyball season coming to a close end I've been finding myself a bit more stressed than the norm. I remembered last semester's stress week events that the health and counseling center put on. One of their tips to keep stress from building up is to find a hobby for...

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...

So last night I was walking to Starbucks around 10 o'clock to work on a paper, and something strange caught my eye. Now I'm known to be one to see things so I didn't think anything of it at first, but then I saw it again and this time there were two of them! "No, calm down Melody"...

Everyone always gets excited about Labor Day because of the three day weekend. I can assure you that a four day weekend is even better. A four day break from the academic schedule was much needed. I knew having a schedule with classes only on Monday through Thursday had advantages. I was thinking more...
