A window inside life at Augustana College
“I’ve heard it said that people come into our lives for a reason/Bringing something we must learn/And we are led to those who help us most to grow if we let them/And we help them in return/Well, I don’t know if I believe that’s true/But I know I’m who I am today/Because I knew you…” [...]

For the first time in my recent memory, it’s Thursday afternoon and quiet on the 5th floor of the library. As I’m sitting by myself with a super cookie and the remainder of what the Brew has to offer, I tell myself to forget about my current responsibilities for a moment. Listen to the buzzing [...]

This is probably my second to last post before I head off for the summer, which makes me really sad. As promised though, here is my top five reasons I love being involved with WAUG: 1) You will always know someone who is just as stoked as you are that your favorite band just came [...]

This has been such a busy last month that I haven’t had time to blog. This past week I had 2 presentations (both on Friday and back-to-back) and a response paper (also due on Friday!). But the countdown to summer 2012 is down to 4 days! I cannot believe my junior year is almost over [...]

First of all, I realize I haven’t blogged in almost exactly four months, but there’s a good reason for that–Augustana took over my life. Not to get all mushy and sentimental, but it seems like it was just yesterday when I was moving into Swanson and hugging my parents goodbye at the Fall Connection kick-off. [...]

I am graduating on May 20th, 5 days before my 22nd birthday. This will probably be my last blog for Augustana. I was selected to participate in the Illinois Legislative Studies Internship Program. Here is a link below: http://cspl.uis.edu/ILLAPS/ILSIP/index.htm I am really excited about this program and I feel very proud. I am spending my [...]

This past Friday Sigma Alpha Iota (ΣAI), which I am a part of, had a joint formal with Phi Mu Alpha. Both are national music affiliated fraternities we have here at Augustana. I always told myself I wouldn’t join anything with greek letters, yet I honestly wouldn’t be the same person I am today without [...]

At 10:30 Saturday evening, after a dance showcase, I had the opportunity to go blues dancing. After deciding not to go and returning to my room, I realized that I didn’t have anyone to keep me company. At first, I thought this to be sad and I somewhat wish I hadn’t declined the offer to [...]

1) As you can tell from this picture, we are a crazy group of kids. I honestly didn’t know what I was getting into when I said I’d be the opinions editor but I don’t regret it for a second. 2) You get to meet some really cool people, both within and outside the office. [...]
