Hola chicos, With the holidays around the corner, I am realizing how long it’s been since I’ve seen my family and how excited I am to see everyone again. However, I am not particularly looking forward to explaining to everyone all the details of what has been going on in my life recently. I don’t […]

I’ve mentioned before that being a part of your major’s student organizations is a really good thing for a lot of reasons: it plugs you in with your peers and professors, it opens doors for you in terms of job networking, it will frequently include an element of service that will build you up as […]

 Comments Off on Student Government Association: The Quick and Dirty Tags: , , , , ,

I feel that it’s very fitting that I write my first post of the 2014-15 school year about the UW-Stevens Point Student Government Association, since it’s probably the only thing I seem like I care about.

I suppose it has taken me so long to write my final blog because it saddens me that my New Zealand journey has come to an end. At least for now. Leaving New Zealand was so hard for me and I felt that I wasn’t ready to leave just yet. I had met so many […]
