Another Year Complete, Another Awesome Year to Go!

Yours truly reading Kurt Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse-Five" down by the Genesee river

It is my great pleasure to announce the completion of my junior year at Houghton. It’s been a great year and I hope you have enjoyed my somewhat less than consistent posting. This summer I am very excited as I will be starting an internship at the Acadia Psychiatric hospital in Bangor, Maine. This is a part of my Applied/Pre-Therapy track of my Psychology major. It should be awesome. If you’re interested in hearing more about my summer experiences, or college experiences for that matter, check out my personal blog here.
I am looking forward to my final year at Houghton.

With three of my beautiful housemates (with a photo taken by Olivia, another sweet housemate of mine)

Days, weeks, & years previous: Went to classes, studied abroad, wrote lots of papers, learned different languages, went on lots of adventures.

Monday, May 9th: Took final-final-exam

Tuesday, May 10th:  Turned in Senior Seminar Project

Truthfully, I haven’t fully realized that I am indeed—totally and completely—done with my undergraduate degree here at Houghton! It’s bittersweet to think about; I’m happy and excited to be moving on to new things, and I will also miss the my sweet friends and professors and all of the good memories I have in this place.

While the end was busy, it finished well, …

On my way... =)

Hello folks! So, here I am, typing out what will be my final blog post at Houghton College. This is it! I just got back to my room from having taken my final final! haha Yes Ladies and Gentlemen, I just completed the last exam of my undergrad career here at Houghton and it is bittersweet, let me tell you. I have been looking back at this semester with tears in my eyes about the Musical I did, the College Choir Tour that I went on, the trip home for a concert, my backpacking expedition into Scotland with my brother, and of course, Baccalaureate and Senior Spot just around the corner. …

Welcome, Class of 2015!

Sunday, May 08, 2011, at 12:07 pm

To all of my readers who are coming to Houghton College in the fall-hooray! I am so excited to see you on campus so soon. The year has quickly come to a close, but the time between now and the first day of classes for the 2011-2012 school year will come even faster! So, WELCOME!

I suppose you might want the inside scoop of what to expect from a real, live student. Look no further than me, Lia! :)

Let me begin by saying that your freshman year is the year to figure things out. Don’t be shy about joining clubs and going to Campus Activities Board events or joining a new group for lunch every day or trying a new church every Sunday. It is the time for you …

Finals Week at Houghton-more fun than it sounds!

Friday, May 06, 2011, at 4:24 pm

Hello again! Welcome to finals week at Houghton College! While it is stressful, it is also a lot of fun because everyone is in the same boat together and we have no other real commitments other than studying or working on projects. It has been a beautiful week and students have enjoyed studying outside! Lambein Hall’s Leadership Council (LC) hosted a study break on Wednesday and I posted some pictures from that below. :)

Parents can pay the Houghton volunteer fire department to put together a “study buddy” box for their student as an encouragement for finals week~yum!
