Time Well Spent

As I write this last blog for PLA, I am reminiscent and grateful for all the wonderful experiences and memories I have from this great program. I learned so much about myself and life, which has and will continue to influence my everyday life. Lessons that will not...

A Place and Time to Remember

We are officially less than one month away from the last day of classes, and everything is starting to feel more real than ever. A few weeks ago, my cap and gown came in the mail. I ordered one of my graduation dresses earlier this week, and my friends and I are...

Vacation vs. Staycation

Growing up spring break for me meant a nice family vacation. My parents always planned for us to do something relaxing or adventurous away from home during my week off. They would take off from work and I didn’t get homework or assignments, so it meant good quality...

Two More Weeks

And that’s a wrap! We have officially finished week six. That means we have about nine more weeks left in this semester, and then it’s adios until we meet again. Or, for those of us who will be graduating in May, it will be that’s all folks and the end of our college...

A Moment in Time

I hit a new milestone three days ago, I turned 22. A milestone that I find hard to believe and one that I’m still processing. There haven’t been many times when I’ve felt different turning a year older, but this was one of those times. Just saying the words, “I am 22”...

Enough Already!

I’m a winter baby so the cold and snow have always been my thing. I used to wish for snow all winter when I was little. There was never a time when I didn’t love the thought of seeing big, beautiful snowflakes falling from the sky, except for the past week and a...

One Down, One to Go

As this semester wraps up, it’s time for my traditional fall semester reflection. On paper this semester promised to be one of the most hectic and chaotic for me yet, which was disheartening considering it is my senior year. I was always told your senior year should...

Home for The Win

This weekend is the Penn State vs. Maryland University football game, and I couldn’t be more excited! A few of my friends and I are Maryland natives, so we hit the road this morning to attend the game tomorrow. This game is always a tricky one for us because of course...

Who Needs Sleep?

Am I the only one in State College not sleeping? Even better, is there such a thing as getting good sleep as a college student? I think sleep is all but nonexistent as a college student, but I’m surely bias because I enjoy sleeping in late. I don’t think I’ve slept in...

A Piece of the Past

I have a new obsession, and no it’s not a new tv show I’m binging, a new fashion fad or Tik Tok trend. It’s a game, Word Search! Growing up my grandmother had word search books that she made me work on throughout the summer. You read that right, while most kids were...
