When I first started attending UW-Stevens Point a year ago, I mentioned some of the things that were different compared to my last school. One of the first things I noticed when I got here was that people will actually hold the door open for others! When you walk into a building and there are […]

This past week had one major thorn, and one incredible rose. Thorn: My laptop, (which I’ve had for only a week,) was declared defective by the company that made it. I have to send it back, and switch to my older computer until the new one arrives. This wouldn’t usually be such a problem, but […]

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!!! Unfortunately, my break started before others did. Because of my brother being in the accident and the extent of his injuries, it wasn’t logical for me to wait until Wednesday to go home.
