Elise Armand

Hello everyone!  My name is Elise Armand, and I come from the small town of Westport, Indiana.  My college search process wasn't an easy one, but I'm here to tell you that coming to IU is probably one of the best things I've ever done. A little bit about me - I graduated from South Decatur Jr.-Sr....

Wow! Time has REALLY flown by! One day, I was just moving back to IU after an unusually hot and dry summer, and next thing I know, I'm working on cases and papers galore at the end of my fourth college semester!  Here's a quick update on what's happened during my year: Marching Hundred This, when...

Sometime early in the fall semester, I attended an evening program for the Kelley Living-Learning Center about study abroad.  The speaker made us aware of a number of fantastic opportunities, including a trip to India exclusively for Kelley direct-admit freshmen.  I had always thought it would be...

Hello again, everyone! Sorry it's been so long since I last posted; some things happened in my life that caused me to be EXTREMELY busy.  In fact, that's exactly what this post is about. I am so, so, so glad that I went home for the weekend, which is what I last wrote about.  It was so much more...

My sincerest apologies to those of you who did not grow up in Foxworthy-watching, Larry-the-Cable-Guy-loving areas of the world; I just couldn't think of any better phrase to sum up what I've learned in the past few days.  Please pardon my southeastern Indiana language. I decided sometime around...

Well, spring break came and spring break went.  Now we're all "back to the daily grind," going to classes, doing homework, and studying (not to mention procrastinating all this work). Here's the really weird part about college spring breaks:  You actually look forward to "just staying home", and...

Hello everyone! Sorry it's been awhile since I wrote; I was busy studying hard for midterms.  Today is Connect with Kelley Day, a day when roughly 1,200 Kelley direct admits converge on campus to learn all about what Kelley and IU have to offer.  I live in the Kelley LLC, so we've been preparing for...

You may be wondering what inspired me to write about a black hole.  For those of you who don't know, a black hole is a mass in outer space that is so compact that nothing (not even light) can escape it. Of course, I'm not writing about that kind of black hole.  I'm writing about the black hole that...

It's been a few days since I wrote on here, but with good reason: I was out of town. One of the better decisions I made when coming to IU was to be a part of the Kelley Living-Learning Center, which is basically a dorm for business majors. One of the perks of living in the Kelley Living-Learning...
