Katie’s Little 500 weekend

Little 500 is one of the most exciting times of the year at IU. People come from all over, and the campus is buzzing. My boyfriend Jon came in for the races too. He was just accepted to IU for graduate school, so he’s in the same boat as you. We stopped at the bookstore [...]

Nearing the End

We are nearing the end of the year so I’ve been trying to soak in the campus as much as possible before I have to move home. Thanks to the nice weather, Showalter Fountain is running again and many people sit out next to it and study.  Some classes even choose to have class out [...]

Saturday was Collins Fest.  Let me sum it up for you.  -Cotton candy, cheeseburgers, tie dye t-shirts, free books, a moon bounce, and live music.-  Pretty cool right?  Right!

Water Balloon Fight

This past week there was an enormous water balloon fight on Dunn Meadow hosted by Alpha Phi Omega.  With there being over 30,000 balloons used, this event was meant to be the largest water fight in IU history, all to support of the March of Dimes.  Very wet, very fun.

Katie’s beautiful spring and pac-man night in Eigenmann

The weather here has been so gorgeous lately, minus a little rain! The forecast is looking very good for Little 500 so everyone is excited. Just walking to class is wonderful. All the birds are chirping and the flowers are blooming (which is probably why I’ve been sneezing so much!) Over the weekend, I went [...]

Getting Excited

It is getting to the time when campus has a different feel. The weather gets nicer, students come out of their rooms and lay out outside or play a pickup game of basketball. Everyone gets excited because Little 500 is coming up in a couple of weeks. This is one of my favorite parts of the [...]

Katie’s scholarship ceremony

On Sunday, I went to a scholarship ceremony for the School of Journalism in the Union. It was a really nice event in Alumni Hall, complete with red and white balloons. The J-School gives tons of scholarships to undergraduates each year, including incoming freshman! Several hundred people were there. It was great to see everybody’s [...]
