Hello! Congratulations on surviving midterms! Halfway through the semester!  Last Wednesday, I had my first meeting with an overseas study advisor to discuss my options with studying abroad next year. You may think I'm jumping the gun because it will most likely be another year before I study...

As a transfer student, I've had to cram a lot of IU memories into two years. I think I've been successful but two years just isn't enough time to experience everything IU has to offer. I wish I would have been more involved or gone to more events but sometimes you just can't. So here are my top...

It's that time in the semester when classes are starting to get real. We're past the first few basic lessons and approaching test day, where I suddenly have to remember how to study after not prepping for an exam in over 3+ months.  What's great about this semester is that a lot of my classes relate...

Last year around this time I wrote my first blog about something that was weighing heavily on my mind: Landing an internship. This year, the time is quickly approaching for interviews, and a slightly different topic has been on my mind: Landing a Full-Time Job. Using my internship experience from...

The grownups of the world are incapable of producing original conversation material. When you were younger, discussions invariably included questions about how school is going and remarks about how tall you’ve grown since they saw you last week.

As my parents drove down Fee Lane, I squealed with more excitement as each building passed. Memorial Stadium, Assembly Hall, Briscoe, McNutt - finally, we arrived at Foster. I couldn't contain my joy. I was here, and finally here for good.  Almost 4 weeks later, I can't believe how much has...

I've lived in Bloomington for almost 4 weeks now. And I have to say, it's been the best 4 weeks of my life.  When I moved in, I didn't know what to expect.  I was scared that I wasn't going to meet anyone, I wasn't going to have fun, and most of all, that I was going to get lost on my way to class....

If you're already an IU Hoosier, you already know all of the reasons why Indiana University is awesome. If you're a prospective Hoosier, this is for you! 10. Campus Bloomington, IN is home to the most beautiful college campus in all of America. Fact (kind of). No matter what season it is, it's...

Last spring, after several semesters of pilot studies and trial periods, IU launched its E-Text Initiative, a program that provides digital versions of textbooks that are available to students online. Professors can choose to provide an e-textbook for their course as an option, and it seems more and...

So I missed Welcome Week because I moved into my apartment Thursday and Friday (boo). That means the first week of classes (which ended today) was my Welcome Week. I'm so glad to be back on campus. I had a great and busy summer but I've missed Bloomington. The first weekend back in B-Town I had the...
