Winter Session 2013
This winter session I am here on campus in Newark, DE! I am taking two online courses, Anthropology101, and Statistics 2. The reason why I chose to take online courses for this break is to have more flexibility in my daily schedule. This allows me to sleep in later, take my classes when it is most convenient for me, and travel during the week, and weekends! I have also been able to make time for a...

My College Essay
So looking back about 4 years ago now, I was just finishing up submitting all of my college applications. While I had all of my grades up to par, my resume filled out, and my common app ready to go I procrastinated the final component of my application; my college essay. I have always considered myself to be a strong writer, as I always got nearly perfect grades on my papers, (and hence why...

Clicking the Final Submit Button to College...
While I applied to colleges nearly three years ago, it is still one of the most vivid moments of my life. Having a younger brother who is currently applying to schools, and interviewing lots of prospective UD students about their college application process brings back feelings of nervousness, panic, and looming stress that I could not wait to end. I remember I analyzed every word I wrote down...

YouDee or Baby Blue?
Here at Delaware we love to show our Blue Hen pride, and especially near and dear to our hearts is our mascots, YouDee and Baby Blue. You may ask what the difference is, and really it’s the difference between our big Blue Hen mascot, and the little blue hen. Personally I have a special place in my heart for Baby Blue. While YouDee may be the official mascot, there’s something so cute...

Junior Year...
So Junior year thus far hasn’t been quite as hectic as I had pictured. Usually I find that my school work is overwhelming and extremely stressful. I don’t want to jinx myself but I think since I have been getting more involved in the core curriculum of my classes that the workload has been more manageable, and less stressful. It could be from a few factors that 1. I now have my time...

Penn State
This past weekend I finally got a chance to visit my best friend from home at Penn State. After 3 years, and her visiting me freshman year I finally booked my 8 hours Greyhound trip (3.5 hour car ride) to State College. Our visit was great, and it was really fun to finally hang out with her friends that I had been skyping for three years now. Penn State was a great experience, but I still would...

Labor Day Weekend
This Labor Day weekend, I traveled home for the first time. I went back up North to Boston to work the PGA Tour’s Championship, and the TPC Boston, where I worked all summer long. I wanted to see the tournament in full swing, earn some bill$, and also see out the work I had over the summer. It ended up being an exhausting weekend putting in lots of work hours, but all in all, very cool to be...

As summer is coming to an end..
So as summer is starting to wrap up I’m ecstatic to get back to school and stop working but also going to miss my beach day, $$ in my bank account, and stress free life. I’ve been exceptionally busy working around 50 hours a week at my internship, the TPC Boston, PGA tour golf course waitressing, babysitting and scooping ice cream. Last week I took some time off to enjoy some relaxing...

Housing for my Junior Year
For my Junior Year I decided to officially move away from off-campus housing. While my housing situation has been a transition to this from living in my dorm in Rodney, to the on campus apartments in the Christiana Towers I don’t think that myself, or my roommates entirely thought through all of the responsibilities with renting out own unit. We knew that we would be responsible for our...

Saying HI from My Internship!
Today I’m blogging from my cubicle at my internship! I’m currently interning in the Advertising Department for the Christian Science Monitor Newspaper. I work, and commute from my hometown in Boston, and my office is just across from the Prudential Building. It’s week two, and so far I have nothing but positive things to say. I’ve been working with advertising analytics...

Sophomore Year..Check!
So seeing as “half way to go” is the most optimistic way to put I am now a Junior at UD, I can’t believe where the time has gone. Everyone always says, you won’t believe how fast time flies. On graduation day in high school it was hard to believe that 13 years later I was sitting with my same peers that I started Kindergarden with, and now we were all heading in our own...

USA Today Article: Benefits of Greek Life →
Being a part of Greek life is something that I don’t think people truly give enough credit to. While from the outside looking in, many people assume that it’s all about socializing, and “paying for friends.” While it is something that I believe you can’t quite understand until you’re apart of it this article really highlights some of the great aspects that it...

Ogilvy and Mathers
This past Friday I went on a “field trip” to New York City to visit Advertising companies with the University of Delaware’s marketing club. We visited two advertising firms, Arnold Advertising, as well as Ogilvy and Mathers. Not only was it exciting to spend the day in the city, but it really put my future career into perspective. It gave me an idea of more credentials that I...

Blue Hen Leadership Program here @ UD
So this week I’m blogging from HOME! It feels great to use my own shower, sleep in my own bed and best of all open up a fridge full of my favorite foods :) But an opportunity that I recently learned about here at school was the Blue Hen Leadership program, otherwise known as BHLP. This is an awesome program here on campus that I first learned about through my sorority, that is designed to...

P&G lays off 1,600 Workers because of New... →
This was an article that I saw early last week that was e-mailed to me from my Linked In updates. This year I’ve been trying to stay a bit more up to date on my business current events and I’m not so sure it’s a great idea from the articles that I’ve been seeing. Recently advertising and marketing firms have been laying off many workers in their sales departments due to new...

CHI OMEGA YOU'LL AGREE IS THE BEST SORORITY!
This weekend has me absolutely beat. I’ve been waking up at 6 AM and staying up until 3 AM some nights because we had sorority recruitment at Delaware this past weekend. For those of you who don’t know, sorority recruitment takes place every year at the beginning of the Spring semester and lasts for the first two weekends. The whole purpose of sorority recruitment is for girls at UD...

Study Abroad
Since day one of applying to college I have always known that I wanted to study abroad. One of the reasons that I especially picked Delaware, was because of the 7 week period in between the Fall and Spring Semesters. While living in a foreign country for several months seems like a dream, I didn’t want to have to give up a semester at Delaware for it. So I thought that the 7 week break was a...

Mono has gotten the best of me..
This winter session I had a perfect vision for how my five weeks were going to go..
1. Relaxing, Stress-free
2. A solid A in my class
3. Have lots of free time to hang out with friends
4. Kill it in ad sales for my internship
5. Go to the gym everyday
…until I got Mono. Usually when I get sick at school I can take care of myself and with a little bit of extra effort stay on top of my...

The Sopranos Star of Bobby AKA Steve Schirripa... →
One of the coolest things that I found out freshman year was that one of my good friends, and now one of my sorority sisters’ father is Steve Schirripa. While I was unsure of his claim to fame when I first heard his name, I soon learned my friend Bria’s father played the staring role of Bobby on the Sopranos. He also has starred in a TV series called the Secret Life of the American...

Winter Online Class
So I am taking a winter online class this winter session to pass the next 5 weeks of my time. I’ll be testing on campus in Delaware, but since my testing week doesn’t start until next week I will still be enjoying the comfort of my own bed and food while I watch my lectures at home. I originally wasn’t super thrilled with the idea of taking a class online, let alone Philosophy...

THANKSGIVING '11-SOLID.
Thanksgiving was just what I needed- just a few days off to relax and take a step back from my work. While my journey home started off a bit rough, the usual 6 hour car ride turned into an 8 hour fiasco when we hit stand still traffic an hour away from home, and then had our car die in the middle of the frenzy. However, after I finally brought in my bags and had the perfect nights sleep in my bed,...

WINTER SESSION
So this winter since I am living in the towers I am ecstatic to say that I will not be sitting on my couch for seven weeks at home. This winter I will be coming back to school to take my online class. I will be taking a Philosophy class to satisfy one of my group A humanities requirements. I really wanted to take an online class because I did not want to have to rush back to school on January 2. I...

America Ferrera comes to UD! →
This past week I attended a talk hosted by America Ferrara here at the University of Delaware. Her talk focused on the importance of being a role model to our peers, and especially amongst our classmates. Her talk was not only inspirational but also inspiring as it was so genuine. Typically you here from celebrities trying to earn a good name for themselves so that they can have a good image....

It is articles, advertisements, and info for all of the students apart of Greek Nation here on campus....
