I’m about to graduate….

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 20:24:39 GMT

I am so sorry that I have not posted a blog in a long time but I have been so busy that I just simply haven’t had time. This past month has been crazy. I have less than one month of school left, 2 months before my wedding, and I don’t have a job. Wow, how crazy?!?! Spring weekend was the...

Graduation Party!

Sun, 02 Mar 2008 22:05:58 GMT

One of the things that I love about Longwood is how much activities they have for seniors. It’s two months till graduation and of course the school held a kickoff party to countdown to the glorious day!! It started off at the bowling alley at 5 and then the Farmville Area Bus was hired to...

Deltasig Fun!!

Wed, 13 Feb 2008 22:11:36 GMT

Well, these last few weeks of school have killed me!! So, after a hard week of work, it was time to have some fun! On Thursday night, Deltasig held a bowling fundraiser. The bowling alley was packed and it was so much fun even though I was making a fool out of myself! On Friday night, my...

Back to the Grind!

Fri, 25 Jan 2008 01:54:40 GMT

It’s hard to image that this is my last semester. It was so weird when I went to go get my school supplies and just thinking about how this was the last time! It’s so sad but great at the same time. I’m preparing for the two most awful exams of my life that are required to graduate (Major Field...

Goodbye to 2007!

Thu, 13 Dec 2007 14:44:57 GMT

Well, it has been really busy the past few weeks with school. Here is a quick rundown. I have had 2 major projects due in my upper-level finance courses within the last two weeks. One entailed just a 10 page paper but the other one included a 20 page paper and 15 minute presentation! Also, this...

Fun times in Farmvegas!

Tue, 20 Nov 2007 00:13:55 GMT

It’s been a while since I last posted so there is a lot to catch up on! Two weekends ago, my Fraternity had our initiation. This was the end of a long 8 week pledge process and everyone was happy for it to be over! The day started off at 8 o’clock that morning and ended with a huge celebration...

Fall Ball and Halloween

Fri, 02 Nov 2007 20:06:00 GMT

This past weekend, my fraternity held one of our social events, Fall Ball. The theme was black and white so you always know that you will see so many creative ideas on dressing up the colors! It was held at Grady's BBQ in Farmville. No, we didn't have our Ball in a BBQ pit! It is actually...

Bowling Night

Fri, 26 Oct 2007 17:44:50 GMT

This past Sunday night a few of my friends came down to Farmvegas from Richmond. It was a lot of fun having people in town and showing them around. We first went to Macado’s for dinner; by far the best place in town to eat. Then we went to the bowling alley! I completely suck at bowling and...

Home Sweet Home!

Thu, 18 Oct 2007 01:32:06 GMT

The week before fall break is always stressful. With having tests in every class and being busy with my fraternity, I was definitely ready for a trip home. This was on everyone’s mind last Friday and it was proven by the mass exodus of people leaving Farmville! By the time I left on Friday...

Oktoberfest!!!

Sun, 07 Oct 2007 20:54:03 GMT

Originating in Germany, Oktoberfest was a large celebration of a marriage of the king daughter. Well, here at Longwood we celebrate with Oktoberfest too but in a very different way! The best and worst part of Oktoberfest is knowing this it’s my last year. With that said, I made sure that this...

Big-Little Night

Thu, 27 Sep 2007 14:10:35 GMT

Greek life is the biggest thing to hit Longwood. Everyone is involved in someway on campus and I have to say the same. I am in Delta Sigma Pi, professional business fraternity here at Longwood. I pledged and joined in Fall 2005 and it has been an experience ever since. Just like everyone...

Crazy Cap Day!

Mon, 17 Sep 2007 21:15:47 GMT

Also known as Convocation. Convocation is a tradition here at Longwood unlike any other college. Most convocations are just a boring way of saying welcome and lets have a good year. Here at Longwood, there is a little twist. Along with the speeches and welcomes, it's tradition to "cap" the...

The Beginning of the End

Tue, 04 Sep 2007 21:21:05 GMT

It's kinda scary knowing that this is my last year of college. Soon I'll be in the real world! WOW! But as I was always told, I better live it up this year because that's it. So that's my goal this year is to have as much fun as I can and still get good grades. Hard work and long nights...
