So, I think I have found a solution to my sorority problem. I talked to the right people about my situation. I haven’t made a decision yet but I am closer. When I went to standards to talk to the president, financial advisor, and and standards committee, we were able to discuss more options.

It is so crazy how fast a year of college goes by, actually it’s even crazier how fast two years have gone by. Now that I am nearing the halfway mark of college, I realize how much I’m going to miss school and especially the University of Tampa. I plan on studying abroad spring 2011 so that means I only have 3 semesters left here!

Lynn University has made some changes to their curriculum and programs….all for the better. I had a great meeting last week with Jan Macko, the Texas admission counselor who is a graduate of Lynn.

Full Story »Testing, Testing..
I’ve discovered one of my biggest complaints as far as testing in college goes. We study for days, up till all hours, all to sit in the testing room for 50 questions in 60 minutes. Most of us finish in about 30. We go crazy, sleep-deprived, ignore all other classes, and drink coffee like water. These exams count for large percentages of our grades. 30 minutes of our day makes up 30% of our grade.
Full Story »Paris…and a Greek decision….
First let me start by saying that spring break was way fun. I went to Paris with my mom, step-dad, step-brother, his girlfriend, my beloved little brother, and my best friend Meredith! We all stayed in a condo right off of the Arch de Triumph. We were only there for about 5 days, so I was bummed that we didn’t get to do everything we wanted to. But we did do a lot.

Full Story »Alright
It’s almost finals time which is terrifying considering I haven’t really slept well in a long time and within the last 2 weeks (fortnight!) I have skipped sleeping at least 3 or 4 or 5 different nights. I could never live like that for an extended period of time and if all semester was like that, I would’ve dropped out ages ago.
