TODAY is the very dreadful last day of summer vacation. It is weird to say that I am now officially a sophomore and honestly I am also a little bit nervous. Not doing any school work for about four months makes me a little VERY concerned about my mental preparedness for starting classes tomorrow. Although, […]

As we wind up to the beginning of the year, dorm decorating is on (almost) everyone’s minds. I went through an entire semester last year with no decorations up in my room and the place looked deserted. So this year I’ve been a lot more proactive about making my space more welcoming. Wind chimes are […]

Last night I was treated to two amazing, beautiful, breathtaking sights. One was a cookie skillet- a famous dessert in the Middlebury area that can be found and devoured at Mister Ups. I went there for dinner last night and of course my table couldn’t leave without treating ourselves to this scrumptious treat. It is […]

The freshmen moving in yesterday made me reflect on the transitions that come with moving away from home. Reminds me of how I felt my first days here. Moving to college is really exciting but also a very strange feeling. There’s always a mixture of emotions that come with it: excitement, nervousness, relief, and fear… etc. Many freshmen […]

No dorm is truly complete without a little color to bring the space to life. And what better way to add life to a room than buying PLANTS to decorate it! Agway is a local lawn and garden supply store that students frequent as they arrive to the area. We made the trip specifically so […]

I decided to save this weekend update until today because for most of America, yesterday was still the weekend. However, for many families with rising seniors, Labor Day was spent visiting Middlebury, instead of boats and barbecues. Hence- their college visit vacation became my work day when I didn’t post about the weekend and to intrude […]

Mondays are not my favorite day of the week. After a nice long weekend, Monday is usually the last thing a college student looks forward to. Especially when it’s labor day weekend and you wanted to enjoy a three day weekend, but you still have to work. Such hard work happens here at Admissions. Today […]

I spent my summer at home: chillin’ with my mom, babysitting, and eating a lot of homemade meals (YUM). Being from Southern California and coming into my first year last year was a very scary experience, especially because I came alone. And by alone I mean COMPLETELY alone. No Mom. No Dad. No siblings. It […]

So I just checked and 77.78% of my entries have been about food. I actually expected that number to be higher and I am a little disappointed. Thankfully, once I post this, that number will skyrocket to an even 80% (fun mental math puzzle if you’re interested: figure out what number blog post this is). […]

A summer intern’s work is never really finished. That is, not until we help the Dean of Admissions himself with a daunting task. Greg Buckles is a very stylish person who likes to make sure his office is impeccable in all aspects. He often graces us with presence when descends from his lofty office on […]
