Students@UM-Flint

This re-purposed piece of scrap paper can be my best friend and my worst enemy as an online student at UM-Flint. I am currently enrolled in five different classes worth 15 credits. That’s up to 5 different sets of readings, 5 discussion posts, 5 replies, 5 quizzes, 5 occasional extra assignments, 5 exams… and most […]

With nearly a month under our belts, the fall welcome events are unfortunately coming to a close (luckily there are just as many events happening throughout the rest of the semester). One of the last events of September is this weekend. Have you ever wanted to ride around in a helicopter just because? Ever wondered […]

Hello, everyone. I hope you all having a productive semester so far! Throughout my college experience I’ve learned the hard way about some key steps to being successful in college, but I’m here to share with you the shortcuts so you dont have to go the same route I did. Going to high school in […]

Eek! Your future employers and even your current ones are watching what you do on the internet! I know we all hear that, but it really is something that happens and yet so many students neglect to keep their social media in tip-top condition. I remember when we would hire new Orientation Leaders and every […]

During high school, I volunteered with a couple of different organizations and it was a blast, but coming in as a freshman, I wondered if I would be able to be as involved as I was before. I’d never been to Flint before, so I wasn’t familiar with the area at all. Luckily, there are […]

I hope classes are going well for everybody. I’m sure we all have quizzes, papers, and homework due already… crazy? I know the feeling of not having a life anymore and it being controlled by professors and deadlines. I’m here to let you know about the most important deadlines. It’s in your best interest to […]

One week down, fourteen more to go! I’d like to join my fellow Wolverines in a collective sigh of relief after having successfully made it through the first week of classes. However, I’m also a part of that group sighing over the stack of readings and assignments we had to tackle this weekend. While I […]

I remember when I came to college the one thing that made me have a panic attack was trying to pick a major! I thought everyone just came in and already had figured that out, and that I was the odd one out. Thankfully I quickly learned that I was NOT the only one! Even […]

I  would like to use this medium to welcome the new and current students back to a new school year filled with new beginnings, new chances, new opportunities, and new adventures. Looking back to 2008, coming to University of Michigan- Flint was one of the best decisions my parents and I ever made, and I […]

Today’s the day!  Fall classes have finally begun, which means so do all of the university’s welcome events.  Already in the last week, there have been two – Taste of Downtown and New Student Welcome Day & Convocation.  While it’s hard for me to pick which was my favorite, I’d have to go with Taste […]
