Busy but fun

Coming back from Spring Break there are a lot of things going on the rest of this semester. It is going to be busy but fun.

All of my classes are getting more in depth with the material, and I really like how all of my classes are blending together. After having a week to rest from my classes I feel refreshed to go back and finish out this semester. I also have had a week to explain the kinds of classes I’m taking to friends and family and take a step back from all the work for a little while. But I’m ready to hit the books again and get back into the swing of things.

I’m also excited for the Spring Jam events that are coming this next month. We are just starting to make plans for the different competitions that Spring Jam offers. Spring Jam is like Homecoming in the spring and it’s a fun way to get involved with something on-campus that isn’t academically related. Some of the events are philanthropy, band, and ballyhoo (dance) competitions. I am starting to work with the band competition and it’s a fun addition to my regular classes and activities where I can meet new people and enjoy the endeavor. At least with the weather warming up it will be nicer out while I’m busy with school work and play. The rest of the year will fly by with the bustle of events, but this semester is definitely enjoyable.

  • Favorite place to study: Walter Library because it's a convenient place on campus to get things done.
  • Why I chose CLA : I really liked the political science deparment and was impressed by thte School of Journalism and Mass Communication. They offered the specific public relations track that interests me.
