Follow my adventures as a college senior in the sunshine state (of mind).
The past few weeks have featured a whole lot of chaos, countless laughs, a couple pairs of ridiculously uncomfortable shoes, a few hangry moments thrown in there for good measure – and very little sleep – but, here I am, back in the Gator Nation with a new blog post! It’s still pretty Greek to me I recently took part in formal […]
As I sit at the airport gate to head back to Gainesville for my sophomore year, I am flooded with thoughts and memories about my busy but special summer. I knew this moment was approaching – but I just cannot believe where I am today vs. where I was a little over one year ago. (I was actually […]
…and then there were two (days). Somehow, I am down to the last few days of my summer internship with the Sandusky Library and the Follett House Museum. I have been busy with completing my exhibit designs for the museum, assisting with activities for kids and teens, cutting and gluing thousands upon thousands of paper chains, and much, much more. The […]
As the Bon Jovi-inspired title suggests, I am over halfway done with my Community Foundation internship. This summer has been jam-packed with a ton of amazing experiences, which has made the time pass incredibly quickly. I can’t believe I only have one month left at home before I return to the good ‘ol GNV for my sophomore year at UF! (How […]
Welcome back to the latest installment of The Intern Diaries, where I’m sharing the latest and greatest updates about my current summer internship. (Catch up on the previous posts here!) This past week was a bit hectic; each morning seemed to bring a new surprise or a spontaneous program, project or conflict to be addressed – but there was no shortage […]
Week two of my summer internship has come and gone. Here’s what I’ve been up to – including helping with fun children’s programs and channeling my inner history nerd. Check out the first segment here: The Intern Diaries: Livin’ La Vida Library Getting Tech-y The library recently opened a new space called the Digital Media Studio, which houses […]
I just finished the first week of my summer internship, and I wanted to document some of my experiences thus far. I hope you find this interesting, helpful and/or entertaining! (Most of all, I am writing this because after the program is finished, it will be helpful for me to reflect on the work I have done.) Thanks to a […]
Where do I begin? Well, for starters, I just finished my last math class EVER. I have been dreaming of this moment since 7th grade Pre-Algebra. Equally important: I just finished my freshman year of college. As I look around my dorm room in good ‘ol Jennings Hall, I can’t help but feel a pang of […]
Tomorrow, the University of Florida releases decisions for the Class of 2020; thousands upon thousands of anxious, eager, trembling students will go online at the very same second, blocking the computer screen with their hand as they press “enter” before seeing their application status change in the blink of an eye. This was me on Friday, February 13, 2015 – a date that […]
It’s official: I am done with my first semester of college! I finished my last exam this morning (before most people on campus were even awake) and I feel liberated. With lots of determination and the help of highlighters, Post-Its, latkes, and Project Runway study breaks with my friend Kim, I made it through the finals grind in one piece. Plus, I managed to avoid […]
