Snow=Fun!

With the recent snow storm across the country, Bloomington was slammed with a foot of snow. For the first time in several years, the IU campus was closed on Wednesday. Most people would think that campus would be dead with people sleeping in and not wanting to go outside in the snow, but the complete opposite happened. Several [...]

Of course earlier this week, the student organizations were meeting up to discuss what [...]

Katie’s dance party

So we’re two weeks into the semester and I still feel like I’m adjusting to my new schedule. Getting out of winter break mode can be tough. So at the end of a hard week my friends and I decided to have a dance party in our room. Grey’s Anatomy fans will appreciate us “dancing [...]

Spare Time

This week was pretty busy for me academically.  So with the short spare time I had, I cut through the library to check out the Yes We Can Writing Wall and ate a quick dinner at Wright before catching a movie at the Union.  Other than that, I was hurrying to keep up in my [...]

Into the Rythm of Things

Here are just a few photos of this week’s events.  Streets were crowded with parents and students moving back in, bookstores were filled with rows of this semester’s studies, temperatures plummeted, and dorms flooded.  If you find yourself in the middle of a fire alarm at 11 o’clock at night in January, be sure to bring [...]

Katie’s first week back

This week has been really intense! First of all the wind chills were unbelievable. A must have freshman item is ear muffs. My friend Sarah got frostbite, so not what you want. Along the way I had lunch with friends at the Read Traditional Dining Place, ordered Mother Bear’s with the girls, went grocery shopping, [...]

Back in Btown

On Sunday night before finals week, Briscoe held a midnight pancake breakfast for all of it’s residents.  Unfortunately, when you offer college students free food, there is bound to be a long line.  I got there at 12:10 and the wait to get pancakes was close to 25 minutes because they didn’t expect that many [...]
