On Friday, one of the admissions counselors gave me two things to do over the weekend. Sorry John but I did neither of them. Maybe another weekend. Even though Kendall (another summer intern) says I have to keep my number of friends in the single digits, I spent this weekend making friends. Friday, some friends […]

As a 20-year-old, I have been told several times that I am an adult, but up until this weekend I had yet to fend for myself. My roommate went to New York for the weekend and, like the adult that I am, instead of sleeping in my house alone, I stayed at a friend’s house. […]

A few weeks ago some friends of mine and I decided to create our own photo scavenger hunt. We made a list that took us through the college and town. We based the list off of on-campus art pieces, small shops in town, campus legends, and fun challenges. For instance, none of us had ever seen the […]

When I came to the east coast from the west coast I knew that there might be differences in culture, lifestyles, expectations, and experiences. What I didn’t think about was food. I figured that the food here would be similar to back home. To some extent it IS the same. Both the east and west […]

One of my best friends is leaving on Friday to study in New Zealand. I’m going to miss her but I know she’s going to have a fabulous time. To celebrate/ say goodbye, another friend and I drove over to her house in Shelburne (near Burlington) then hopped on over to the city to – […]

Just like when I was in high school, summer offers a change of pace. Everything feels more relaxed. I’m not working on homework assignments or rushing from one activity to the next, and I can take lots of time to enjoy the moments. Two days ago I swung on the swing-set outside of Twilight Hall for […]

As someone who is not a huge fan of seafood (read: I hate seafood) when I looked at the menu for dinner last night and saw that there was not one but TWO types of fish available I was not psyched. So instead of eating the appetizing meal in the dining hall of seafood, I […]

Old books, that is. Like Kendall, I also made a venture to expand the small library of my summer dorm room (with an expansive collection approximately 5 books strong). I made a stop at “that used bookstore on Route 7!”, or as it is more formally known, Monroe Street Books. And let me tell you, […]

Ilsley Public Library is the town of Middlebury’s own library aside from the Davis Family Library on our campus. This weekend, no longer interested in being held back by the limited teen fiction section at Davis, I ventured into Ilsley. And got a library card. I am officially licensed to get books from the library. […]

Once again, I’m here to report about food in Middlebury. This weekend we had a food truck festival visit town! Once my roommate and friends finished rowing on Lake Dunmore, we ventured into town to eat as much as we could. (I was not rowing- I spent that time reading in the local bookstore. Fret […]
