Aside from all the stress of homework, midterms and other worries students have at Hanover College, I still like to make the short trip to the movie theater once in a while. Coming soon is “Catching Fire,” a sequel to “The Hunger Games.” Set in the ruins of post-apocalyptic North America, the Capitol is the…
Being here at Hanover, things can get boring if you stay on campus for too long. So one Tuesday, I decided to have a ladies day with myself in Louisville, Ky. I had a hair appointment and drove up early to go shopping before my appointment. I drove to Louisville alone — this was my first…
Who doesn’t love a good fire on a nice fall night? Even if you don’t, I do. Kaleidoscope, an organization on campus that promotes diversity and inclusion, recently held an event called Fuego y Dulces or fire and sweets. This event was put together to celebrate Hispanic Heritage month. When my friend and I walked…
How does an international student celebrate her birthday you ask? Well, to begin with, don’t get too pumped up about random shenanigans that you might have expected. My birthday was anything but boring, but probably the best word to explain it would be responsible. I know, I know, sounds boring. Well, to me and a…
It’s almost move in day for the freshmen class. I am so excited to start this new chapter of my life. This week, however, has gone by so slow because I keep counting down the days until I move in. My roommate, Sydney, is already at Hanover because she runs cross country. I have talked…
It’s almost August! That’s extremely hard to believe. I feel like I just graduated from high school yesterday. I am honestly not ready for college to come yet. I am so nervous about so many things, it’s unreal. I keep asking myself, will I be academically ready, will I make friends, how badly will I…
Forecastle 2013, held on the Great Lawn in Waterfront Park, was this past weekend. As a second annual festival attendee, I can say proudly it is getting bigger and better every year. Last year had very strong Dubstep and electronic shows, with other headliners like My Morning Jacket pleasing the more relaxed music festival goers….
For three years I have lived less than an hour from Louisville, Ky., and have never been introduced to the list of events that lead up to the Kentucky Derby. I will share what I have learned this year so that all of you who will find yourselves at Hanover in the upcoming years can…
Injuries are something I may not ever understand. If anyone is a college basketball fan, then you probably know I’m talking about Kevin Ware of the Louisville Cardinals. For those of you that don’t know, Ware suffered a devastating injury during the Elite Eight game against Duke last night. After attempting to block a shot,…
It’s Tuesday night of the English department’s comps week ,and I can think about nothing other than, “I’m done! I’m done! Yayyyyy!” Unfortunately, this is a double-edged sword. I may be done with comps but I am not done with the ridiculous amount of reading I have due for class in the morning, nor have…
