Mamma mia! My, where have you been?

Hey everyone! Needless to say, it's been a while. Last week, I came down with a nasty sinus infection. I missed classes, barely slept, and had headaches galore. Don't you just love fall? Well, I actually do. Anyway, I want to recap on a show I...

Why did I sign up for that?

Somehow when I was scheduling for my classes, I ended up in economics. I thought that CC213P The Social World was a history-like course that fulfilled the core curriculum requirement. Little did I know then, the class had a focus: economics. Granted,...

What I miss most

College is great. You'll hear that from everyone, even me, but I would be lying if I said there weren't things I missed about high school and life before college. What I miss most is: -Books. Not school books but novels and stories. Sure, I read...

Happy 18th Birthday to me!

I am 18! How exciting! I started off this very important day with a shower... I don't know why I am sharing this with you but... alas, I am. I had class from 9-12 and had lunch with the girls. I took time to watch, embarrassingly enough, the Hannah...

Traders Point Creamery

I have lived in Indiana for a total of 10 years (I think) and for the longest time I thought I knew everything there is to know about the Indianapolis area. Then... things like Traders Point Creamery surprise me. For my Biology class, we have been learning...

Tuesdays...

are the worst day of the week. It is that simple. However, let me explain in further detail why Tuesdays stink... 7:00-8:50 AM : Wake up to shower and do homework that I couldn't get to the night before. Carefully tip-toe around my room so I don't...

What I wish I knew then that I know now...

Let me start this off by saying that it finally feels like fall. It's lovely. As I look back on all the time I have already spent here, I thought of all the things that I have learned in the past few weeks... thing I wish I had known before I started...

An Australian tradition in Indiana...?

My friend Laura, who lives across the hall, taught me and some of our friends an Australian tradition, a Tim-Tam Slam, this past week. Essentially, a Tim-Tam Slam consists of an Australian cookie (in this case, we used Arnott's) and hot chocolate...

When in Rome

It's a Sunday. It's 4:20 and I just visited all the sororities with some girls from my unit, 1E (except Alpha Phi. We were too late.) and, before, I was total skeptic about sororities and greek life. I had heard from friends about hazing and drinking...

The Office and Glee

Despite being a busy bee here at Butler, I am finding time to fit in some of my favorite shows. At this very moment, my roommate is hysterically laughing at The Office. Steve Carrell is so ridiculously funny. Also, my unit-friend Bethany (how weird is...

Virus to VMA's: What a Weekend

It has been nearly a week since I last posted and I feel simply rotten for not getting to it sooner. However, I have a reason (I am not one for excuses so I don't say that often). Thursday night, after my 5:00 PM FYS class (First Year Seminar; which...

A little friendly competition...

So Kevin. He's a blogger as well... and we sort of have this competition going. Clearly, my blog is better but I'm still going to let him believe that there is competition between the two of us. Anyway, it's his 19th birthday today! Woohoo...

Dorm Room (N): a place of study, sleep, and memories

When I was a prospective student, of course I worried about things like campus activities, my academic field, making friends, student to professor ratio but... somewhere, in the back of my mind, I was fretting over... my dorm room. Sure, you can get a...
