Hey everyone, I've been at IU for about a month and a half, so I think it might be safe to say that I'm accustomed to the college life. (I haven't had to take any math classes yet, so let's wait for the second 8 weeks classes to start, and then I'll confirm or deny that statement) And I think my...

(This is a long post, but it's very important!) What’s the fastest, least painful way to remove a band aid? You rip it off quickly and soon forget about the “Ouch!” it leaves behind. I don’t mean for this to sound harsh, but going to college is the exact same way. Constantly visiting home is one of...

Disclaimer: This list applies almost exclusively to girls--sorry boys. I'm not good with your fashion! For those of you who are Indiana natives, none of this will be new. But for our new out of state students, you're in for a surprise: Fall semester is comprised of three types of weather: blistering...

Land of Opportunity=America...what? Yeah, America may be known as the Land of Opportunity, but that's not what I'm talking about. This land is known as the world of college (more specifically, Indiana University). Choosing a college is one of the many wonderful struggles you will face in life....

Welcome Week is going to be awesome-- no classes, no class work, and plenty of time to meet new people! But the awesome doesn't stop there-- you're going to IU! It's always awesome!

     It's been a while since I've posted on WeAreIU and some things felt unfinished so I thought I'd post just one more for the Summer.  Things with Tree Machine have slowed down for now and I've been spending most of my time with summer school and work at Opey Taylor's.  I had a chance to go to...

This year is finally coming to an end, and though it seems to have flown by, a lot has happened.  Sophomore year has been a huge learning experience and I'm glad to have spent it at IU.  I still have to study for four finals next week, but I thought this post would be a good chance to explain what...

Having just registered for classes a few weeks ago and finding out there was still an N&M (Natural and Mathematical Sciences) requirement I had to fulfill, I got to thinking about the classes I've taken thus far. And I realized something: while my theatre classes tend to be among my favorites, some...

In most situations, front-row seats are desirable... not at the opera.  I may have accidentally purchased front row tickets to Candide.  Thank goodness it was in English, because otherwise I would have been looking straight up at the super-titles for three hours.  Instead, I got an up-close and...
