Now that I am beginning my Sophomore year, I am starting to discover what campus events are my favorites. There are a lot of things that only happen once a year, so now I get to attend all of them for the second time around, and I am so excited for all of them! So far, my favorite event is Block Party...
Butler is always a welcoming place but we really up the friendly factor for Welcome Week, which is when we have orientation for the new students and celebrate everyone coming back to campus. I have always LOVED Welcome Week, because it's a great reunion after a summer away from friends, and it's...

The last time I was at Butler was May 10, 2008 - aka the graduation date of many of my friends. It didn't seem like a big deal. I mean, they walked over to Hinkle Fieldhouse (as we do almost every Saturday during basketball season), sat in chairs, heard some people speak, took some pictures, and...
So the past week has pretty much flown by! Of course, I waited until the last minute to do all of my packing, which should take way more than two days I believe. Then once I got here, my days have been jam packed with things to do and new people to meet. :) I thought that I had brought way too much stuff...
I’ve had so much fun at all of the welcome week activities! Its so funny because people that I’ll have only talked to for two minutes at playfair will run into me all the time. I feel like I already know a bunch of people even though we have only been here a few days. Its so nice to feel like a community...

The first few days of Welcome Week blazed by. I didn’t get to blog much because I was so busy, but I’m sure everyone can relate to that feeling! It really has just been so much fun! Saturday night not everyone had arrived, but there was a social for all those students who had moved in. We played the...

This morning when I woke up I forgot where I was. As I sleepily scanned the room I was thinking, “Wait, my room doesn’t have a mini fridge. Why are there so many fans? And I definetly don’t sleep in a bunk bed!” Of course, I soon deduced that I was in my very own dorm room here at Butler! Move in yesterday...

It is far too late to still be awake, but here I am at 2:12 am sitting on facebook. I’m just so excited and nervous and scared for tomorrow. Tomorrow is the day I move into a completely unfamiliar place with a girl I’ve never met before. I’m anticipating move-in, but I just feel so unprepared. Seriously...

You may think I put tons of pictures up on my blog, but for every one I post, there are hundreds more on my computer. To celebrate the end of 2007, I picked out some of my favorite shots that you haven't seen before. Enjoy! Bell tower in the snow, February 2007. Snow day! The guiding spirit of our...
