Some Sort of Strange Study Abroad
Always will this be my family, my home, and my pensieve. And maybe one day an owl will drop a scroll in my lap saying I’ve been accepted to return

We Miss …
To the current William & Mary undergrads and the Class of 2016 that recently gained its first members I say: get to work collecting as many memories as you can. I promise you will cherish them.

What Do You Mean Our Outfits Aren’t Coordinated?
Both of us stuck to our commitment this morning, but we clearly took different approaches to our non-coordination.

Entering with Expectations
Hello Again W&M Blogosphere, I know I should be regaling you with stories from my summer (which was amazing) or giving you the inside scoop on ‘Operation Return to William and Mary as an Americorp’ which officially begins in 8 days, but as I was packing up my room for the move back to Williamsburg,…

It may not be in form you expected, but know that success is waiting for you here.

Unexpected Gifts
I met Katie Robeson my first day at William and Mary (Well actually we met for the first time at a high-school Forensics competition, but I didn’t remember that–oops) and while she’ll be annoyed at me for posting this, I was convinced we wouldn’t be friends. I was pretty sure she was just too cool…

Consider the Following
Consider the following: Thursday evening I spent two hours with two friends laughing and learning from the incredible Bill Nye. That’s right, the Bill Nye. I learned about sundials, mars-dials, model planes, deep-space exploration, bubbles in Antarctic ice, building bridges out of carbon, solar panels, the expansiveness of the Universe, how to get rich, and…

Making My Outfit Matter
Normally I stop myself from the vanity of reporting about my outfit, but today is different. Today, over 300 students (myself included) made a very conscious fashion decision by wearing matching t-shirts. Here’s mine… In case you can’t read it, (sorry, my computer camera isn’t that awesome) the shirt says: “gay? fine by me.” Yesterday,…

Thank You
Apologies for the slippages in parallel structure, but I hope reading this give just a little sense of all there is to appreciate at William and Mary.

Oh college.
Best Pictionary TWAMP (typical William and Mary person) moment of the game was definitely Kat and I trying to remember the word “keystone”–you know, that block that goes at the top of the arch–when Jeewon had obviously drawn a croissant.

Homecoming 2010: Tears and Cheers
As part of my pledge to enjoy my senior year to the fullest and focus on the fun, I decided to wake up at 8 am to begin my last undergraduate homecoming bright and early with the Homecoming Parade. This was my first homecoming parade, and I really had no idea what to expect, but…

Spotted in Swem
As I was sitting at a computer in Swem Library I observed what I hope was the beginning of a beautiful friendship…On the computer next to me was a student with an admittedly cool graph on his screen. (I’ll call him Graph-Guy) As Graph-Guy worked on his computer and listened to whatever was coming through…

Spotted on the Sunken Garden
Walking back to my dorm on a late but very warm weeknight, I heard whoops and hollers (a very scientific description, I know) coming from the Sunken Gardens. As I peered through the darkness and focused my attention, I discovered the source: A large group of students playing a midnight game of Red Rover. I…

Running From Rejection
Hello Again Blogosphere, I posted recently my opinion that the most challenging part about William and Mary is the endless opportunities. I blogged that one of the challenges is picking between the many different opportunities on campus-very true, but another challenge is that with so many incredible Tribe members vying for some of these positions,…

Snow?? In Williamsburg?
“I can’t imagine us getting more than an inch” I told my friend Friday night as we walked into the campus screening of Where the Wild Things Are (I did not understand that movie, by the way). Late Friday night, however, as I heard excited voices running down the hall, I knew my prediction was…
