You may have heard that Indianapolis is the Circle City but do you know where this name comes from? One reason is that our city is centered around a circle that features the 284 foot tall Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument . In case you were wondering, that is only 21 feet shorter than the Statue...

Usually a normal 22-year-old college senior would fill their time with hanging out, watching trashy TV, and studying...

There's so much to do at Butler that it gets easy to spend every weekend on campus... but I recommend getting out of the bubble every so often to enjoy what Indy has to offer. One of the most popular weekend events in town is First Friday art walks. On the first Friday of every month, almost all...

One of the best trends to come out of being fashionably green? Riding your bike! Not only is it good for the environment, but it's good for you, and a whole lot of fun. I have always loved riding my bike, and I find it to be a great way to get around campus. Butler is definitely too small to justify...

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted in a few days... MY COMPUTER CRASHED! UGH. I'm pretty sure that's a college student's worst nightmare, although thankfully I am still under warranty. This is not the first time in my college/blogging career that my computer has died , so I will repeat...

I'm not sure if I've mentioned this too much on my blog, but I am very passionate about recycling. I never throw away paper or aluminum cans, and I try really hard to recycle everything else as well. For the last few years, I pretty much just focused on my own recycling. Since I've been writing...

My life has been crazy since I wrote my last post. First, I finished my final exams and got all my grades. What a relief to be done with this long, brutal year. I was generally satisfied with my grades, although I was disappointed I didn't do as well as I wanted on my last final. It's really...

What a jam-packed weekend! (I think busy-ness is going to be the general theme of the rest of my posts for this year.) I’m writing about a lot of things I did this weekend, so I’ll bold what each paragraph is about and you can skip around. In theory, Friday should have been less busy because...

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...

I realize that the topic of weather is usually reserved for talking with elderly folks, like your grandparents, during awkward pauses in conversation. And, if you're from Indiana or the midwest, you're probably familiar with the weather patterns I'll be referring to later in this post. If...

Mission Accomplished: Cluster Set #1 Complete! I always have a great sense of satisfaction after finishing my final test. Clusters are always so stressful, and it feels like a weight has literally been lifted off your shoulders when it's all over. Now I sit and wait for all the grades to be posted...

I survived my first (half) week of school! What a whirlwind! Classes have been intense, but I've come to expect that out of the pharmacy program. Many of our classes are continuous from one year to the next, and often with the same professors. So while classes in other departments often schedule...

As I sit in my living room at 2:10 am watching CNN, I figure now is a good time to talk politics! Anyone who lives in Indiana or has watched tv tonight is probably aware that the Hoosiers have gotten our (their) fair share of attention tonight thanks to the Indiana primary. (I say their rather than our...

Ahh, the end of spring break! What a sad time for all college students... Actually, I don't mind heading back to class, because I'm so excited about being back at Butler. I spent half of my break in Indy, and the other half wishing I was still there! There's always so much going on at Butler...
