This past weekend not one, not two, but THREE of my friends had birthdays. So I spent a lot of time celebrating in a variety of ways (mainly eating). A bunch of recently graduated seniors also made the trek up to Middlebury for the weekend. Most of it was spent hanging around my house playing […]

This weekend, I recently found myself in New York, assisting my girlfriend in giving back her mom’s car in exchange for getting a family car (it had been in the shop for several weeks). This meant a free getaway from campus, and the awkward and hilarious encounters with her family. The drive down provided interesting. Lake […]

Fact: Vermont has more cheesemakers per capita than any other state. Fact: When I am not tour guiding or working in the Admissions office, I am a cheesemonger. What is that, you ask? At home, I work at a cheese shop, and as a result have more knowledge about cheeses than I know what to […]

On Saturday, I ventured to Goshen, VT for the Goshen Gallop 10k. The back of my tshirt describes it as the “toughest 10k in New England”. Goshen is more mountain then town, so I believe them. It was great though to run on trails instead of farm roads (everything smelled like dirt and not cows) […]

Or, *Middlebury College Chinese Summer School! As you all probably know of the Middlebury Summer Language Schools by now (see Maxwell’s post!), I made my first real foray into the Chinese School this week. I have a handful of connections to students studying at the school, from fellow classmates from my Chinese classes at Midd, […]

As mentioned before, I run a lot. More than a rational person should. And sometimes, those long runs get lonely. So naturally, I was thrilled when one of my friends texted on Wednesday asking to join me on my run. I ran the 1.5 miles to her off campus apartment then we jogged 7 miles […]

Wednesday is an important day for many reasons. One, it’s “hump day,” which means the work week is almost over. Also, as every member of the Middlebury community does or should know, entrees are half-price at The Lobby. The Lobby is a restaurant on the water (Otter Creek) in downtown Middlebury, with an atmosphere between upscale […]

As many know, I am a trivia enthusiast and after trivia at the Marquis was cancelled because the emcee had a stand-up comedy show to perform, I turned my sight towards Two Bros. For a while I had been hesitant to try their trivia night, I had heard that it was way more serious AND […]

I recently came back from vacation, and suddenly found myself in the throws of foreign language speakers. No, Vermont has not been invaded by a multilingual army. Instead, Middlebury is currently hosting over 1000 students for the summer Language Schools (you can read more about that program here). Students of all ages are currently swarming […]

This past Saturday I went to Middlebury Bagel with Tabitha for breakfast. It was my first time eating anything other than doughnuts from there and it was totally worth it. When we entered the restaurant both of us were a little bit confused as to how they operated but we figured it out. Everything on the […]
