When I told people I had never flown before, they were pretty surprised. “Never? . . . Not once?”, they would ask. Nope, never. So when I told them I was going alone to Manchester, UK, they were even more surprised. I arrived after a 24-hour delay last Friday, having faced the loss of a […]

This is always a really important topic when determining which school to attend and what degree to seek while in attendance. You don’t want a degree that’s out of date, irrelevant, or doesn’t prepare you for what you’re going to face when you get a “big kid” job in the “real world.” When I walked […]

Being an introvert during this time of year can be difficult. We have one semester under our belts and are headlong into winter, eagerly awaiting summer on the other side. In the meantime the hustle and bustle to and from class, the long lines in the grill, and the daunting tasks of attending office hours […]

This semester marks the first time I’ve had classes in Riverfront. For some reason, upper-level Spanish classes have been relegated there instead of the tiny freezing room on the first floor of French Hall. Honestly, it’s not too terrible overall. I had never had a reason to go to Riverfront before, so getting to see […]

Hello UM-Flint and welcome to the Winter 2014 semester! Fall 2013 was a whirlwind of business and fun for me so I hope I can keep the ball rolling into 2014. After our extended winter break, we’ve been in classes for about two weeks now, give or take a holiday or two. That means the […]

The new year has been in effect for about three weeks now and I’m realizing that I have completely dropped the ball. Shoot, I’m starting to think I never even had the ball in the first place! You know everyone, including myself, wakes up December 31st with positive thinking about the New Year and their […]

When I started my last semester, I still felt like I had all the time in the world. I hadn’t even started my senior Honors thesis yet and nothing about graduation was popping up in my inbox or mailbox. In just two months, I’ve started and finished my thesis, become a Maize and Blue Recipient, […]

As a senior (I mean Super Junior, heck yeah!), the second question I’m asked after “Are you graduating?” is “So are you going to grad school?”  Oooh, how I just adore this question -_-  Many juniors and seniors go back and forth with this, whether they should go to grad school or not. And if […]

I never considered UM-Flint when applying for colleges. I had my heart set on Ann Arbor after touring the campus a couple times and had a couple other schools scattered across the state as backups just in case. Halfway through my senior year, after all the priority deadlines had passed, details of financial aid came […]

Yes you read that correctly.  It’s me, Super Junior. My friend introduced me to the term and now it has become a part of me. I go by Super Junior because every time I tell people that it is my 4th year in college, their faces are overcome with joy and excitement as they high […]
