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 […]

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 […]

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). […]

Even though I am a rising junior and have moved in and out of two dorm rooms, I have never gone it alone. My parents have always been able to help me and, to be quiet honest, I don’t think I have ever done more than two trips from the car to my room. However, […]

Finally I have a successful food story to share! With dining halls almost ready to open I knew I was running out of time to make myself proud, so last night my friend Ella and I decided we should make a pizza. We didn’t have very many cooking supplies (lacking a knife, rolling pin, oven mitt, […]

I’m trying to figure out how to begin this blog post about my exciting and relaxing weekend but Kendall is insisting on playing the Frozen soundtrack and it’s distracting me from thinking of a catchy intro. Which is sad, because my weekend was really fantastic. I took a half day off on Friday because my mom […]

I know a lot of the other interns have already lamented or celebrated their experiences without the dining hall this past week, but here I am throwing, my hat in the ring. I thought things were going well for me, food-wise; I have been having yogurt with berries and granola for breakfast, pb&j’s for lunch […]

After finishing our tour on Saturday morning, Colin, Daria, Kendall and I took to the road for a promising adventure. We were headed to Six Flags Great Escape, about an hour and a half away, with our tickets prebought and spirits high. When we arrived around 2 we were eager to get on the rides, enjoy the […]

This week I visited a local Middlebury favorite that I have often heard about but never actually been to: Whirlie’s World! The summer employees planned a laser tag outing to this fine establishment and rented out the building for an hour on Wednesday night. After the sad discovery that I am not very good at […]

I mentioned last week that this summer I am living in the same dorm as I did my freshman year, but I didn’t note that some good friends from my freshman hall are also there with me. Yesterday afternoon I was just about to settle in for my daily power nap when one of these […]
