Winter Break
Camping in February
I got to travel with the Geology Club to the Tallahassee, Fla., area this winter break, and even though the first three nights were a little too damp to be desired, camping with two pretty cool professors and 14 other awesome people was surely a lot of fun. Camping out in tents when a decent [...]
Going nowhere for break
It wasn’t bad — going nowhere, that is. For break this winter I had to stay on campus to begin workshops for the traveling theatre I am in this summer. One of the things the Rivers Institute at Hanover specializes in is cultural education in matters regarding the local area. This summer, Rivers is funding [...]
Waiting for spring
It’s official: winter break doesn’t mean that winter takes a break. I stayed on campus, and I can tell you that winter wasn’t willing to break. It rained almost through the entire week! To stay on campus during breaks means finding ways to entertain your easily bored self ,and if it rains, you have to be even [...]
Winter Break discoveries
Spending time at home is always nice, for about a weekend, that is. Then my parents start asking me to do their errands, clean the house, look after my sister and do anything but relax and get ahead on my homework like I expected. This is why a few breaks ago I decided I would [...]
Living the break
Winter Break. Does it mean that students take a break from winter? Or perhaps winter might take a break? Some Hanover students are for sure taking a break from Indiana’s freezing season, since they are going to Florida. They leave icy rain and snowmen to go to the sunny state known as the refuge of retired [...]
Midterms, winter break and the blessed smell of exhaust
So, midterms are happening. I feel woefully unprepared despite hours of studying per usual. And winter break is right around the corner — well, right around the next day I suppose. The feelings I have about this break are strange. Usually, I am excited to go home, but I am also somewhat reluctant to leave [...]
Florida winter break – yeah, this is the life.
Going to Florida over winter break anyone? This girl definitely grabbed that opportunity. What’s better than camping on the beach in the middle of February with two of your favorite professors and peers? Note the close to 80 degree weather is not the only plus side. The geology department decided to use their resources and [...]
Unique Twist to a Standard Calendar Year
A small, unique, private school deserves a calendar that will play nicely into its trait of being unique. At Hanover we’ve got that covered! Instead of working in two semesters or even three we have a specialized system called four-four-one. This system allows for us to have our famous Spring Term which lasts only one [...]
Phantastic Philly
I chose to return to my old stomping grounds over Winter Break and head back to the city of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia. Since Hanover offers an excellent opportunity to study in Philly for a semester, so I thought it would be appropriate to show some photos of my favorite places and things in the city. [...]
Love these breaks!
One of the things that Hanover is awesome about is making sure we get the breaks we need. We get an entire week off halfway through the semester, which means we never have to focus on academics for more than about 6 weeks at a time.It’s like taking a complete mental breather after a long [...]
