Jasmine's Blog

I am Jasmine, one of three new ambassadors this semester. I am so excited that I am able to participate in this experience this year. No matter what you see on these blogs, please know that deep down in the depths of their hearts, all of the ambassadors are completely CRAZY! But of course, that's crazy in the fun-loving, know how to have a good time and enjoy the college experience type of way :).

This school year is certainly shaping up to be hectic and exciting! As fellow ambassador Krystal mentioned in her blog, being involved on campus is awesome, but it definitely requires good time management and remembering to take a deep breath and chill out. If you don't it is easy to get burned out, and who wants to go through 4 (or more) years of college feeling like a Donald or Debbie Downer? Certainly not I. Even with my busy schedule, I would choose it any day over only doing homework or catching up on Fox TV shows. It also helps that most of my friends are super-involved as well. That keeps me motivated and reminds me that it is all well worth it.

Although we ambassadors work hard, we play hard as well. Lately, I have been enjoying all the free food that the Gophers After Dark program has been giving away, ice cream, chicken, pizza, coffee, etc. It's ridiculous! Sometimes the lines are long, but that's all the more reason to bring friends. They have some pretty cool events lined up this semester, in addition to the free movies. That's where you will find me!

Well, I hope your heart is now at ease. I don't know the meaning of life, but you better believe I will be blogging regularly and sharing my experiences with you. That void can now be filled. Have a great week and until next time...be ez!
