Best “First year” Res Hall

Chris and I have different opinions on which residence hall is the best for first-years (aka freshmen). We both truly believe that the ones we each lived in are the best and hopefully, if you’re reading this, you’ll find this useful. Andreen:  OK so as a first year I was “graciously” placed in Andreen residence hall. What [...]

RUSH 2013

If at the beginning of this year you had told me that I would be in a Greek Group, I would have told you that you were crazy. And I honestly would have laughed in your face if you had told me that I would be considering joining a second Greek Group. I would have [...]

Good Grades, Social Life, Enough Sleep…

Hey friends! I learned a very valuable lesson this afternoon as I received the results of my last Psychology test: it’s impossible to be amazing at everything. I heard somewhere that college life basically gives you the choice of two of the following three areas; good grades, social life, enough sleep. I don’t know if [...]

Well, hey there, 2013!

As I arrived on campus on Sunday, I was amazed by how quickly I felt back in the swing of things. I had a great three weeks home with my family and friends, but I was beyond excited to be back with my school friends in the place that so quickly became home to me. [...]

It’s Our Time

De-stress Week 5

It has come to that dreadful time again, mid-term week. The one week that may come close to finals week. While all your friends are arriving home from their finals week, you get to stay in class until 3:45on Friday (At least in my case). Some ways to get rid of the pre-break jitters: Watch [...]

Tired of cafeteria food?

Cafeteria food can only keep you going for so long so every so often my friends and I like to venture off campus and find places to eat! Here are a few places that I would recommend checking out. The Little Rangoon This is a little restaurant tucked away on a corner of 5th Ave in Moline. It doesn’t [...]

Finals

When I first started at Augie, I really wasn’t sure how I would feel about having to take finals three times per year, but now that I have gone through my first round of them, I am confident in my assumption that it will be easy! In high school, you only have to take finals [...]
