Taking it easy…ish

 Comments Off on Taking it easy…ish Tags: , ,

Prior to the start of my hopefully last year, I ask myself if I’ll take it easy or work extra hard. This is probably my lightest semester considering I’m only taking 15 credits, working 16 hours a week in the dean’s office and six hours in the CPS Café, serving as co-president of the Student […]

That Freshman Feeling

As I begin my (super-duper) senior year, I can’t help but think about all the freshmen and their first day on campus. What if I get lost? Will I be accepted? What if I don’t know the answer? The truth is, we never really escape freshman year. Every new situation we’re placed into, whether it’s […]

Connecting across the nation

Throughout my college career, I have been told countless times to network, network, network. It wasn’t any different when I started my spring break in Charlotte, N.C., as the UW-Stevens Point Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) chapter representative at the PRSSA National Assembly. Now this is no small matter. PRSSA is the largest […]

 Comments Off on The wonders of winter Tags: , ,

These past few days have really started feeling like winter: snow, low temperatures, Christmas music, and congestion and coughing for the past week and a half. Yes, it’s all here: the good and the bad. It is especially essential during this time of year to take some time aside for yourself and to get enough […]

Congrats! You survived eight weeks of the semester which means you’ve made it half-way through! My schedule has always been CRAZY but at midterm things always seem to get a little more chaotic. There are exams; I had three this week which I didn’t do so hot on. Then there are all the other things that make […]

Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo!

Flight=$330, Hotel=$215, Registration=$200, Pre-conference=$160, Network and knowledge gained=PRICELESS! I returned from my trip to San Diego, Calif., a couple days ago where I attended the Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo (FNCE). Fortunately for me, I paid for less than the expenses mentioned above. The experience was AMAZING! There were over 7,000 registered dietitians, dietitian […]

Make a statement

Congrats everyone! You have survived your first two weeks of classes! So I have something to admit: I’ve always been pretty shy. Well that is until you get to know me, then I don’t shut up. Before I transferred to UWSP, I never wanted to go to any events by myself. That resulted in me […]

It’s that time of year again: the start of the semester. On the first day of classes, I always feel like a freshman again, and believe me, I’m far from it. Sure, I know where the classrooms are, but I have to check and double check my class schedules to make sure I go to […]
