Big Girl Job Update

My big girl job has been put on pause. I requested to start at Deloitte in the winter because of my December graduation, but they just informed me that they will not be able to accommodate my request. I was surprised by this because I assumed that they needed more...

First and Last Penn State Car Rides

I will never forget my first car ride to Penn State as a student. My whole life was about to change significantly and I could feel it in my stomach. I was moving to a new place, where I knew no one, and would be expected to build a whole life for myself without the...

Centre County Paws

Thoughts on Ukraine-Russia Conflict

The Ukraine-Russia geopolitical conflict feels especially relevant to me because I live with people in the ROTC program and this event could change their lives drastically at any minute, depending on how the US government decides to act. A few nights ago, after months...

My Goal Setting Community Builder

I am a resident assistant on a freshman, ROTC floor in East Halls. As soon as we got back to school from break, I decided that it would be a great time to hold a community builder to set goals for the rest of the semester. I made spreadsheets for my residents so that...
