A recipe for survival
As I’m sure you’ve read, this week is Dead Week. One thing I try to do in my posts is to approach the same subject from a different angle. During last semester’s Dead Week, I talked about how to turn Dead Week into “Fun Week”. However, for this semester’s Dead Week post I want to [...]
Everything-today-day
Alright kiddos, I want to have a very serious discussion today. There are few moments in life as frustrating and as grueling as the everything-today-day. What is the “everything-today-day?” Well, for starters, it’s a term I just made up about 15 seconds ago. And for not starters (seconds?) it’s that very special and unique day [...]
Movies for the Stressed Out Student
There is nothing like a good movie to relieve stress during this crazy time of finals, presentations, and projects at Hanover College. My sister and I are movie buffs and love to use movie quotes in our everyday lives. So, here is a little stress-free movie quiz for you. I will give you a quote [...]
Rain, Rain, Go Away
Imagine this. Average college student walking to class singing under his breath, “Sunny days. Chasin’ the clouds away.” Oh dear Sesame Street, I wish you were here. That’s right, rain has hit the campus and what’s more? It’s homecoming weekend! Walking into class with soaking wet shoes and uncomfortably moist pants and having to maneuver your jacket so it [...]
Sans Finals

This Blog is Brought to You by the Letter “P”
Remember the good old days when you would plop down in front of your TV with a box of juice and watch Big Bird and the gang? Remember how they would always cover a different letter of the alphabet each day? “Today’s episode of Sesame Street is brought to you by…” and then a letter. [...]
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 [...]

Freshmen year has now been going on for around 10 weeks and there are many things that still can get to you. During this time one of the big things that can get to you is your Great Works class. This class is mandatory for all freshmen and ranges in a wide variety of topics [...]
