A window inside life at Augustana College
So, it’s week 9 and I haven’t been home since the start of term. I live three-and-a-half hours’ drive away in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, so going home just for a weekend isn’t really an option. I’d prefer not to have to spend eight hours in a bus and then another two in a [...]

Augustana is finally becoming my second home, and it could not have happened sooner. Last Friday, I went home to DeKalb (home of Northern Illinois University–go Huskies!) for the long weekend, and I was so glad I decided to go (so was my dad). But, of course, since it is my dad who picked [...]

So I found out my dorm last week. I’m not gonna say that I wanted to live in Andreen, but I’m still excited no matter what dorm I live in. It is no joke when people say that college is expensive. There is so much that goes into just stepping on to campus on the first [...]

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. [...]

Winter break at Augie is literally just that–a break. At most colleges, it’s a time to relax before a fresh new start. At Augie, it’s a short period to briefly relax and procrastinate on the homework you have due right when you return. Although winter break passed a bit too quickly (don’t worry, I still [...]

So I realize that being away from home has made me more susceptible to illness. So far I’ve gotten an odd rash on my neck and a killer cold (or at least that’s what I’m assuming it is). I hate how pathetic a cold makes me feel. My sneezes are high pitched after sneezing a [...]

I have never pictured myself as a “country girl” in any shape or form… until I came to Augie. Just about all of my friends and anyone else I meet here on campus are from Chicago suburbs; on occasion, I’ll find the few from other cities or big towns. I, on the other hand, have [...]

Like most weekends, this one seemed particularly short. But it was filled with one of my favorite things in life — Music! For WAUG on Friday, I had to record Live on Campus. Live on Campus is one of my favorite parts of Fridays. Basically, CUBOM brings in different musical artist. They range anywhere from Augustana students [...]
