A window inside life at Augustana College

A Crazy end to Crazy week 6

This weekend was parents weekend and too be honest, was one of the best parts of my week! Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely adore Auggie. I love the new activities, classes, and people that I have become involved with, but it is not quite the same without my parents, sister, and puppy. I went [...]

Rooming with my Best Friend

When most people heard that my best friend and I were to be rooming together, all I got as a response was an unenthusiastic ‘that’s nice’ or an ‘aren’t you guys going to get sick of each other?’ Personally, I was so glad to be able to experience something completely new with someone that I [...]

WOW! My first month in a nut shell.

Wow, a month ago today I moved into my room. I live in Seminary Hall and this month has been amazing.  A lot has happened so I think maybe a quick recap would be nice. I have joined STAND/Amnesty, Circle K, Emerge, Lower Campus Council, and a few other great groups. I have met a [...]

Summer 2010!

Week one of Winter Term….

So its already week one of winter term and it seems like it should only be halfway through fall term!  I love how Augustana does trimesters instead of the semester schedule.  Instead of having to worry about five classes at a time, we only have to worry about four and occasionally only three.  Yes, these [...]

Finally getting adjusted to college….

Hey everyone, Were now halfway through the first trimester and I finally feel like I’m getting used to the college life.  At first it was weird trying to juggle the homework load and all the extra free time.  In high school, I hardly ever had any homework and if I did, I finished it all [...]
