Alright. I’m gonna lay down some Student Government Association business on you right now. The first thing you need to know is that as a senator representing the student body, I do not have my own opinion about this. This isn’t an op-ed piece; I’m just making this information available to you all. All two […]

While other students wrapped up the semester during a blistery cold final week of classes at UW-Stevens Point, Mindy Olson took off for the warm sunshine at Walt Disney World and Sea World in Orlando, Fla.

At the beginning of the semester, four students and myself in the business administration major capstone course (Bus 480) sat down in front of underclassmen and shared our ‘words of wisdom’ for survival of a business major.

My first experience in this whole London ordeal was missing my flight from Central Wisconsin Airport to Chicago, catching a later flight and having to go into extreme hustle mode to catch up with my other Stevens Point compadres (who I didn’t even know were my compadres at the time). When I finally caught up […]

I’d love to say that I’m sorry and I’m finally done talking about FCS (family & consumer sciences), but I’d be lying. Because I’m going to keep talking about FCS for one more post, just give me one more post and also because I don’t even feel bad. I love FCS. If you don’t love […]

As I keep saying and saying and saying, I started my first year here as an English and German double major–and stick with me, I’m going somewhere with this. I can actually pinpoint the moment in my first UW-Stevens Point German class where I began to think that while I loved the language, teaching it […]

There’s this epic sandwich in London. A sandwich so epic, in fact, that according to professional-at-life Carolyn Matthews, “It’s the perfect hot sandwich. It has everything you’re looking for in a hot sandwich.” It’s the Duck Confit Brioche. Duck confit, goat cheese honey truffle, arugula, onion chutney, mustard, all on a homemade brioche. One thing […]
