Panwiches and other Mountain adventures
I am a big fan of brinner (breakfast for dinner), but tonight Casey and I invented Brunchinner by cooking Panwiches.

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…

Senior Year: Balancing Freak-outs with Beautiful Days
Being a senior, I know this year will be stressful. I will be afraid of what comes next and not being ready for what comes next. Knowing freak-outs will happen, my goal for the year is to focus on all the oh-so-amazing experiences left to be had at W&M, which is why I keep reminding…

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,…

Professor Tierney
I want to use this blog post to thank Prof. Tierney who taught the 9 am section of Introduction to International Politics my freshman year. Intro IR, as we called it, was the very first class I attended at William and Mary and is still one of my favorites. Within the first week of class…

What is the Hardest or Worst Part of Life At William and Mary?
I was recently asked in an interview, and I’ve certainly been asked on tours, “What is the hardest or worst part about life at William and Mary?” The real challenge of this question is giving an answer that addresses what the questioner really wants to know. If I just answer based on the question, then…

Dance Dance Dancing Machine
Did you know that Kelly Clarkson’s “Breakaway” is in waltz time? Or that you can lindy-hop to Lady Gaga’s “Just Dance”? I’ve learned this and a lot more in what has definitely become The Semester of Dance. I am currently enrolled in Ballroom Dance I, and I LOVE IT!!! I took ballroom dancing one high-school…

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…

Week One Complete
First week (ok, half-week) of classes complete! I’m in two Sociology courses (working on my minor), two Women’s Studies classes (finishing up my major), and Ballroom Dance (fulfills the Creative/Performing Arts GER and is just cool!). I’ve only gone to most classes once, and I’m already excited about what I’m learning and surprised by the…

Life Goal–Achieved
It’s finally happened…I have finally had a child named after me! A little back story. This year I am an intern in our Office of Community Engagement and Scholarship (OCES). OCES is the product of a merger between the Sharpe Community Scholars Program and our Office of Volunteer Services–so it’s awesome. As an intern I…

Gotcha
Today, at the beginning of Psychology class, my professor said: “Before we start, I have a few questions to ask:” “How many of you were born in Virginia?” Most of us raised our hands. “How many of you were born in the USA?” Almost all of us raised our hands. “One last question—why are you…
