My name is Allison Nagy. I’m going to be a Junior. My major is elementary education. A little about me: I run cross country and track. I am an SNT (Student Networking Team) leader for the National Society of Leadership and Success. I am involved in Camp Kesem as well. I also work in admissions as an admissions ambassador. I love getting to know new people, and I love answering any questions anyone has about anything. I also love to bake cookies and cakes, read books, watch movies, go on long bike rides and travel. And I love photography. (I especially like to take pictures of Augie’s campus during the different seasons).

But the food aspect is covered with bags of popcorn, dark chocolate, pound cake, and lots of orange juice. With my last final tomorrow, I spent my day studying for it and [...]

Crispy Leaves
If you are like me, you leave an extra few minutes early for class, just to enjoy the leaves changing and also to stomp on those crunchy leaves. Yes, I’m one of those people who go out of their way just to step on that crispy looking leaf. The slough path, although long and chilly [...]

A Wonderful Surprise
You know those days that you wake up, see the sun shining but then look at the weather and realize it is 30 degrees outside? Those days are teasing. It’s like the weather wants you to go outside and enjoy the fall air, but its 30 degrees so you have to bundle yourself in layers [...]

You know that moment when you move into your dorm room or apartment and you see that light wood desk, that mattress sitting on a bed frame that has endless possibilities of heights, and that light wood dresser sitting lonely and completely naked? The thought that then passes through your mind is “how can I [...]
