Dear Prospective Students,

Well, now that we’re a few weeks into the semester, I can officially say I dropped my English class. I know, an English major dropping an English class? What is the world coming to? Well, I was overloaded with reading, that’s what. (As in, I basically had to read a novel on top of the reading for ALL my OTHER classes… not fun.)

So now my semester looks like this:

AE 284 Environmental Ethics
ENW 325 Environmental Reporting
HI 241 Examining the 60s
PH 150 Questions: Descartes to Derrida

A lot of reading and writing involved this semester, but it is worth it as I will be done with the core by the end of the semester!

Although that leaves me with so much room to maneuver next year, I’m not sure what to do. After my acting class last semester, I’ve decided finishing out my theatre minor may not be the right decision for me. Sure, we had fun and I made tons of friends, but when you realize you’re not as passionate about something as you really should be - not truly putting your all into it - then it probably just isn’t what you’re meant to do.

As of late, I’ve simply been trying to connect with as many people as possible, having heart-to-heart conversations, and basically just trying to get involved as much as possible around campus. With The Mirror, The Cream Filling, and my desire to jump head first in a zillion community service activities, I’m simply thrilled to be meeting so many different and amazing people, while also growing closer with my circle of friends.

Isn’t life on campus just great?

Talk to you guys soon!

love,
anna.
