…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 […]
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!)

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 […]

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 […]
Dear Ethan, It was not long ago that we spent our days re-watching Dunston Checks In and Honey, We Shrunk The Kids on the VHS player. It seems like just yesterday that we played “Hotel,” where we pretended to manage a hotel, using the basement cabinets as the rooms.

You know those movies that just never get old, no matter how many times you re-watch them, no matter how many lines you can recite, and even though you know who wins and who loses? Here are a few of my favorite flicks that seem to get better each time I press play. Ocean’s Eleven (2001) is the story of […]
How is it already March? I am getting closer to being done with my freshman year of college, which is crazy to think about. It feels like I was just beginning school and getting used to campus, classes, dorm life, etc. – now, most things about college have become so familiar. I had a relaxing “spring” break […]
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.
