A Taste of Ireland in downtown Madison
Friday night, I was lucky enough to experience the Taste of Ireland in downtown Madison, Ind. Several of the more popular restaurants decided to prepare an authentic Irish dish, and by buying a ticket earlier in the week, I was able to sample each of the dishes. For only $20 I got to experience several [...]
Adventures in Dogsitting
As one of the many jobs I hold in the Hanover/Madison, Ind. area, one of my favorites is dogsitting for a family in Madison. Not only does it allow me to get off campus and get some space in a house with a large living room and lots of personal space, it also gives me [...]
Birthday Post!
So if you know me at all, you know the one thing I go all out for are BIRTHDAYS. My own, my best friend’s, the dog down the street – if I know it is your birthday you can safely bet I have a plan in the works to make your day the best it [...]
The Coming and the Going
As someone who goes home several times a semester, I thought I should give some advice on making the dreaded trip home from Hanover. While many students live only an hour or less from campus, there are those of us who live three, four or ten hours from here. I live three and a half [...]
Arghhh!
This weekend was the annual pirate-themed party hosted by the great men of Phi Gamma Delta (or FIJI as they are better known around campus). For the week preceeding the party, the fraternity house blared pirate-esque music from large speakers. Since I live in Katherine Parker, which is located directly across the street from the [...]
Explore the Old Town Alexandria

Just wander around and discover what the world has to offer. It may sound dangerous, but it’s actually not that bad [...]
Birthday Bonanza
Saturday, January 15th, 2011, 12:00 am: Me- “IT IS MY BIRTHDAYYYYYYY!” (Gets up and promptly starts ballet dancing up and down the hallways of Crowe) My friends/roommates- “Is this normal? I have never seen anyone be so excited for a birthday.” …What can I say, I do the birthday thing right. I mean, it’s a [...]
Thankful for HC
Well, if I couldn’t tell already, I definitely am able to realize that I am in the real world as my friends at Hanover are able to enjoy a few days off from school for Thanksgiving break, while I am in Philadelphia, Pa., working at my internship. Even though I am spending this Thanksgiving holiday [...]
Wingardium Leviosa
It was a very eventful weekend this past weekend here at HC, but that did not stop a very large majority from bringing out their inner nerd by going and seeing the one and only “Harry Potter.” I was one of a vast amount of students that went to the theater Thursday night and waited [...]
