If you’re ever in Middlebury for the summer, it’s a great chance to take the time to walk around town and explore the shops, restaurants, and all the other great things we have to offer (mainly a beautiful waterfall). And that’s exactly how I spent my weekend. Starting from Shaw’s  and working my way down […]

  As part of my plan to eat and adventure my way through Vermont, a few friends and I ventured to their favorite swimming hole. It’s called dog team, although no one knows why, and yesterday was my first visit. There are two places to go swimming on this river: one has a jumping rock, […]

I walk out of the co-op with a theoretically lighter wallet (I paid with a card). In my bag is organic red pepper hummus, blue corn tortilla chips, and a large glass bottle of Saratoga spring water. I also bought my weight in almonds. The Middlebury Natural Foods Co-Op has been an institution in America’s […]

After work at the Admissions Office, a friend of mine and I biked five miles to the Abbey Pond Trail, hiked for one mile, and then finished the last mile with a run. The lake was absolutely gorgeous. You could see a beaver dam, and it was nice to appreciate the stillness of nature. If […]

I arrived on campus last Wednesday, June third, to work with the Alumni Reunion Weekend (see Tabitha’s post for more info on that), and once that wrapped up I officially started working at Admissions. It was nerve wracking and exciting to start my first “real person job”, but the Admissions Counselor and other summer interns […]

This past weekend, instead of going on a hike, visiting Saratoga Springs, or eating a maple Creemee, I worked at Middlebury’s reunion. It was amazing to meet members of the class of 1940, 1990, 1935, 2000 (etc.) and to talk with Middlebury graduates. It was funny to hear how although everyone had different experiences while they […]

Vermont is home to hundreds of things to do – despite the fact that it is the smallest state by population. Middlebury is located in the north and central part of the state, which provides a quick jumping point to many activities. Crossing into New York state provides even more things to do. The Adirondacks […]

This is going to be a summer of firsts for me clearly because on Sunday I had my very first maple creemee. If you are unsure what exactly a maple creemee is, it is basically maple syrup flavored soft serve ice cream but perhaps a bit better because it is a Vermont favorite. Now I love […]

This weekend, I was supposed to go on a much larger hike in Green Mountain National Forest, but Sunday turned out to not have the nicest weather. With one of my close friends, we instead headed to Snake Mountain, located 20 minutes from campus. The hike up Snake Mountain is a classic experience for many […]

This last Saturday I had the opportunity to go to the Middlebury Farmers’ Market. The people are incredibly interesting, and the food is absolutely wonderful. If you ever go you should definitely visit the Thai Food Booth. The lady who makes the food only makes it for the Farmers’ Market and it is definitely worth […]
