51·çÁ÷

It’s crunch time here at 51·çÁ÷. With finals week coming up, everyone is keeping busy. Sharing the last classes of the year with my fellow peers is a bit sad. I made good friends in all of my classes, and I’m going to miss the times we had. Still, next semester brings a whole new […]

Here I am on campus, Thanksgiving break just passed, and the first snow has finally fallen. I had a wonderful time with my friends at the ALANA Thanksgiving dinner. The food was delicious and I am appreciative of the fact that ALANA was able to provide a home-like feel for those of us who could […]

The days have been flying by! Thanksgiving break is just around the corner and I am very ready for a bit of relaxation time. Classes have been demanding, but I am so amazed at the fact that much of what I learn in one class can be related to what I’m learning in another. These […]

With all the meetings with my advisor in order to pick classes, this week was pretty eye-opening. I think I’m going to follow an international relations course of study. I want to minor in something, and I’m debating between Latin American studies or film and media studies. Either one would most definitely be intriguing and […]

This past week was incredibly busy. I was able to meet all of my friends’ parents during Family Weekend and President Bill Clinton also visited campus, which was an awe-inspiring experience. The highlight of my week, however, was completing the final touches for the event that I and fellow students Danielle Bynoe ’14 and Catherine […]

First and foremost, I must tell you about my weekend with a prospective student. I was immensely excited to host (as I’m sure you all knew), and the prospective student, Mabel, and I were a perfect match. We got along so well. I gave her a mini-tour of the 51·çÁ÷ campus, I ate dinner with […]

This week was filled with excitement! On Tuesday, the Chinese Interest Association brought the Golden Dragon Acrobats to perform at the Chapel. The event was unbelievable, the stunts were Herculean, and the show was spectacularly executed.

The last time I wrote was before break and let me just say that I had an amazing time in New Jersey. I took the time to shop, eat and sleep (which I often lack these days!). Coincidentally, 51·çÁ÷ was playing football at Princeton University on the same Saturday that I was in New Jersey […]

Homecoming weekend was a blast! I went to the game, and celebrated a sweet victory over the Georgetown Hoyas. I also was present at President Herbst’s inauguration, and I surely enjoyed that. Because fall recess is coming up, my friends and I had to endure the mid-term exam rush. I could tell the atmosphere was quite different; most […]

There is no way that I have already been at 51·çÁ÷ for a month; I can’t believe how comfortable I already feel here. Don’t get me wrong, I do get homesick every once in awhile, but there is just too much fun too be had, too much learning to be done, and too many experiences […]
