Hello, all.  My name is Stephanie Miller, and I plan to graduate from IU in 2014. I'm majoring in English(Creative Writing) and German, and I'm minoring in Anthropology. Practical, I know.  On the left, you'll see me wrangling a goat. I hope you thoroughly enjoy my blogging and get out there to nab...

Just a few things about registering for classes. If you're lucky enough to have gotten some of your core classes out of the way with AP or dual credit in high school, it's possible you may have some room in your schedule Freshman year. If you just don't know what to take, and you want to take...

I am very jealous of all who have jobs in Bloomington this summer. If you have the chance, snag an internship in Btown. If you can financially handle an unpaid internship, they are usually listed on the homepage of your major or minor websites. If you want a paid internship, ask around and apply...

All of my finals are this week. But that's ok. It's Wendesday. Happy dead week.

I have two weeks and two days left of my sophomore year. It's crazy, and it also seems like a very short time to fit in everything I need to do.  I just registered for next semester, and it looks like my schedule is exactly the way I wanted it. Yes! But how do I survive two 8-12 page research paper,...

Well, folks, looks like Mother Nature decided to skip spring and go straight to summer, which is fine, I guess. I've been taking advantage of this Bloomington weather for about two months by getting back into shape. I've been out running a few times a week, and apparently, so has everyone else!  For...

It's been awhile, blog.  I've just been enjoying the summery weather, good-smelling apple blossoms, and a strange but refreshing lull in the amount of homework. I'm going to talk about two completely unrelated things: housing and a restaurant! :) 1. Housing! I was just talking to a person from my...

I'm home for spring break of my Sophomore year, which wasn't really a bad choice. Sure, other people are kayaking in the everglades and skiing in Vail, but I have a blankie and home.  Not. That. Bad. Because I'm taking a course soon to get my license to teach swimming lessons (a LONG course), I'm...

Bloomington is wonderful. That is no secret, but you have to dig to find the coolest things in town. I'm friends with a few native Bloomington people that are students here, so that really helps in finding fun little perks.  Let me give you the low-down on five of my  favorite things in Bloomington....

Just went to Finch's Brasserie for the first time yester-evening. It's right on Kirkwood underneath Campus Candy, and it is almost invisible with its tiny sign. I'd say that on a scale of 1 to good Bloomington restaurant, it's a beautiful Bloomington restaurant. It's a part of Slow Food, which is a...

Hi, Ya'll.  I've been an IU student for two years now, and if I've learned anything, it's how to be stupid. By stupid, I mean realll silly without restraint. I'm living in Forest, on a co-ed honors floor, for the second year in a row. The lounge on the 3rd floor is where we all live, during the week...
