It’s been more than a week and it still hasn’t really sunk in that I’m a graduate of the University of Michigan-Flint. Graduation was such a surreal experience for me. It never really hit me that I was sitting on stage with faculty and staff of the university, prepared to make a speech in front […]

I have come to the end of a long journey. It has taken me six years to complete my undergraduate degree, with five of them being here at the University of Michigan-Flint. I don’t believe I have the skills necessary to translate what this adventure has meant to me, but one thing I know I […]

My fellow inductees and I are committed to improving public health in Flint and Genesee County by way of health education. It is a great start on my journey within public health. Anyone who is a health education major or minor can join. As Dr. Parker said to us on our induction day, this is […]

Although I’ve graduated from college I by no means feel like I’m an expert at how to traverse the years of college successfully. However there’s one thing I’d recommend to anyone looking for some good college survival tips. Of course I’m a strong advocate of the usual advice (get involved, find what study habits work […]

You know, this school year has been an exceptional one for me. I have a job at the International Center on campus that I enjoy, I am meeting more people and more people every day, school is starting to make sense, I’ve even been to the gym more than twice (an all-time high for moi), […]

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.

With all of this cold weather lately, it’s been hard to muster up the desire to go outside for any reason other than classes and work. However, there are some opportunities not too far from campus where you can stay out of the chill and have a good time, like checking out a show at […]

We’re so close! With just a few more days of exams left, the winter break is almost here. Unless you were one of the lucky few to have no exams and you finished last week (I didn’t have any and I’ve loved it). With at least 2 weeks standing between you and Winter 2014, how will […]

The end is near! With just 8 days until the end of the semester, we’re going in to crunch time. The Campus Activities Board is bringing you a great way to relieve some stress with their final event of the semester – Casino Night! Join CAB tomorrow night from 8PM-11:30PM in the Happenings Room of […]

A break from school – finally!  I won’t tell you how long I’ve been counting down the days until this break arrives (maybe since early October…). As we get ready for this brief vacation, what kinds of things will you be doing? Turkey Day Thanksgiving always makes me think of tradition. There are usually more […]
