A window inside life at Augustana College
The past couple of weeks, I have had the wonderful opportunity to do some volunteer work around the Quad City area. Last week, I went to the Children’s Therapy Center with the girls from ESA (Epsilon Sigma Alpha – the service sorority that I am joining.) At the CTC, we went around the center and [...]

After posting a Facebook status about National Suicide Prevention Week, some people have asked about my story. I usually do not like to talk about what happened and why, but I have come to learn that sharing my story has helped a few people begin to resolve their own issues, and sharing has helped to [...]

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 [...]

(Shut up, WordPress; I did not spell ‘theatre’ wrong) So, week one is done. Wait no. My brother is telling me the weeks here end on Sunday. 26 hours to go, I guess. I’m adjusting well. Getting into the mix of things. Slowly but surely making friends. My plan so far is to meet people [...]

The day that I thought would never arrive is finally here! (Well, it arrived last Thursday) I woke up at 5am to make my journey to Augustana. As the windshield was being pounded with rain and the sky turned the color of midnight, I prayed that this wasn’t some omen telling me to turn around [...]

Well, I’m so glad to have survived my first week of college! A ton of homework, yes, but some really awesome professors! I’m amazed that most of them are less than 40 years old. (One of them, I swear, doesn’t even look old enough to have a Ph.D. I literally sat in my seat and [...]

Hey everyone! So I’ve been on campus since Thursday and have barely had time to breathe! There is so much going on and most of it has been indescribably awesome! However, with that being said, there is no competition for my favorite activity. The OSA music festival tonight blew me away. Music is the key [...]

Alright, so I know everyone’s excited for the new school year and it IS pretty exciting but last week I was able to free my mind of the stresses that come with it. And what’s the best way to do that? By soaking up the sweet summer sun down in the Florida Keys, of course! [...]
