Never A Dull Moment
Long time no see, folks! From finishing my I.S. to starting my job search, it has been a busy time. To catch you up, I thought I’d give you a visual guide of the past few months! As you can see, we’ve had a lot going on here at Hanover. To those who might think, [...]
My Break in Pictures… Instead of 1000 Words
As I’ve spent the majority of my Thanksgiving “break” at home typing furiously away at my Independent Study, I thought I’d give you a synopsis of my break in pictures! (Saves me the trouble of MORE typing… and they say they’re each worth 1000 words!) And now it’s back to Hanover… Hope everyone had a relaxing [...]
A Penchant for Wizardry
To most, waiting five hours in line for a movie does not sound like an exceptionally spectacular use of time. Luckily, I am not like most people. Aside from my incessant love of movies (ask my roommate, Kat Rompf, about the excessive amount of movies in our room… and my rental sheet where I make [...]
Having Fun: Madison’s Night Life
The number one question I get from prospective students when giving them tours of Hanover College is, “What do you all do for fun? Aren’t you out in the middle of nowhere…?” The answer is yes. We are in the middle of nowhere. However, I can honestly say that we don’t ever run out of [...]
Studying Independently… On Your Independent Study!
Every year, Hanover seniors spend the majority of either their Fall or Winter terms producing an original piece of research called an independent study. If you’ve ever heard of a senior thesis or a graduate school dissertation, this is a very similar project. Essentially, you’re combining all four years of education into one culminating project [...]
Recap: FREEDOM at the Freedom Center
Since I never really did debrief you all about how AMAZING my internship was this summer, I figured now was better late than never. To recap, I received an incredibly generous grant from the Rivers Institute at Hanover to fund my adventures in Cincinnati-land by studying the connection between the Underground Railroad and the Ohio River. I [...]
Robes, Luaus & That Old Time Rock'n'Roll
Needless to say, since you haven’t heard from me in awhile, it has been a busy first month at Hanover! First off, the madness that is senior year. Where did these past three years go? My pledge class at Chi Omega, the group of girls who joined Chi O the same time I did, has [...]
August Experience: Gaining Perspective
It has certainly been a long and interesting week so far… and to think, it’s only Tuesday! As a peer advisor, I have participated in August Experience every year I have been at Hanover. Every year, it puts me back in check, keeps me on my toes and, as an alumna would put it, gives [...]
Creating Moments
More memorable and life-changing than any class I’ve taken at Hanover have been the simple moments I have spent with my friends and sisters on campus. Even as I write this, I’m on a couch with many of my closest friends laughing at a television show. When I left for college, I anticipated my most [...]
Letters From Yesterday
With only weeks left to go before I headed to college for the first time, my room was in shambles, my house was full of boxes and even my car showed the unmistakable signs of my upcoming migration. Everything was changing. Nothing felt the same. As such, I wrote a letter to many of my [...]
