Fall Break
Working with pumpkins
It’s official: I will never understand America. I decided to delay this announcement because before Fall Break I wasn’t sure of it. Now that Fall Break has past, I can say it loudly. I don’t understand your coins, your slang and your passion for pumpkins. To be more specific, I don’t understand pumpkin shopping. What [...]
My Fall Break was better than everyone else’s!
I’m not sure what I really get out of saying that my fall break was better than other people’s. Probably nothing. It’s not like we’re competing for page hits, and I can’t really compare my break to other people’s when I barely know what they did, so I can’t even say it was better than [...]
Taking a time out
This past weekend, plus Monday and Tuesday, served as a much needed break for us Hanoverians. It gave us time to rest, recharge and head home to take care of business. Being away from home is tough — I mean I need a haircut as much as the next girl but my hairdresser lives in Illinois, [...]
One more day … please?
I have a proposition. Because mid-semester is such a busy time in the life of a Hanover College student, I suggest that Fall Break be extended by one day. I believe that an extra 24 hours of rest and rehabilitation would be very beneficial to all students, especially this one. Here’s what I’ve been up [...]
Fall break’s shades
As I’ve already told you, coming to the US brought a lot of new experiences to my life. You may not believe me, but even fall break is new to me. Fall break doesn’t exist in the planet where I come from. In the Italian alien world, the scholastic year is a marathon. School starts [...]
Everyone needs a break
This will be my first post not written from my dorm room. I’m at home right now, comfy and feeling, well, at home. I never once imagined I would miss my bed so much. I remember back to the summer and my thoughts of all the freedom I would have, and that I’d only come [...]
The trudging road to Fall Break
Hello readers. I apologize for not posting a blog last week. Hanover is a great place, but sometimes the workload gets a bit overwhelming. There are multiple opportunities and activities that allow students to get involved and meet new people. This includes on-campus jobs, clubs, sports, intramurals, Greek life, and many, many more. Sounds awesome, [...]
Jet Setting
Well, since this is my first blog after a lot of traveling over fall break, nothing is better than a blog full of photos! As a picture is worth a thousand words, several pictures should be above and beyond! Over break I journeyed not only to Philadelphia, but also to Washington, D.C. where I got [...]
Halfway Gone
If you can begin to fathom it — Mid-terms are now. Yes, the year literally just started and here we are at the half-way mark. I leave tomorrow to begin my Fall Break in Philadelphia, Washington and maybe even Baltimore. Why all the Eastern Seaboard hopping? I may only be a junior but grad school [...]
Introducing Friends to the City
For the past three days, my roommates and I have been lucky enough to have visitors come to see us all the way from Indiana. Since Hanover students are enjoying Fall Break right now, we had several friends from Hanover (and other schools, too) come out to Philadelphia to enjoy their time off from school with us. Somehow [...]
