A Week in the Life of a College Student

Hello all! Hope everyone is recovering well from their spring breaks. We're getting so close to the end of the year. By this time it feels repetitive since this is my fourth year at Bradley. It's always after spring break that the year snowballs and before we know it, the year is over. This time around it will be different for us Seniors because we won't be returning. Depending on how you look at it, this is the light at the end of the tunnel for some. For me, it's a mix of emotions. I'm ready to graduate, but I know I will miss the memories I've made in my shirt time here.  Zoo Day Anyhow, this past weekend was mainly traveling. Friday was my last full day in LA for Spring Break. I spent most of the day at the LA Zoo while looking at exotic animals. I personal favorite was watching a pack of flamingos. Fun fact of the blog: a pack of flamingos is called a flamboyance. Other animals I saw included, chimpanzees, giraffes, and other aquatic animals. Heres m...

UPDATE: I have been got in the "friendly" game of assassins...by my own partner! I wasn't even his target, however, he snatched the spoon out of my hands and the person after me swooped in and tapped me with the spoon (aka the murder weapon). I'm not mad, It's fine. Peep the Hollywood sign. It's actually pretty tiny Andddd we're back! I am currently in the midst of my Spring Break and its busy busy. This year, I finally get to spend my Spring break somewhere other than Illinois. A couple of my best friends hit up Los Angeles, California and it's been quite the time! I currently have two and a half days until I go back to campus and I am dreading every moment of it. On top of that, I still have some homework and Senior project to worry about but I know I will we procrastinating until last minute. Welp, I'm just going to have to wing it. Let Spring Break Commence! First off, I just want to thank my professors from the bottom...

Midterms are upon us, Spring break is close, the dreaded wait has officially begun. For some of us, the wait is almost over, while others have a little while longer to go. The final week of classes until Spring Break has got me antsy, but its almost over! I am very excited to visit LA and blog about it in the coming weeks. This week is nothing but patience and getting on with classes. The stress of Senior project is getting stronger but progress is being made. I feel a bit more happier knowing I am making progress however, there still is a lot that needs to be done. Once Spring break is over, we're in the final stretch. My weekend was basically prepping a portfolio website together and working on Senior project. I never really explained what my project was so I'll give a brief description! Saturday & Sunday  My Senior graphic design class were challenged in creating our own briefs which will eventually be showcased this May at The Prairie Center of the Arts as ...

Hey, its me again! It's also week 7 which means that midterms are slowly upon us. Luckily for me I don't have legit midterms to take for my last semester. However, I still have the stress of my Senior design project, balancing a social life and sleep. Stay tuned for the last two months. Stress levels will be at an all time high. Weekend Doody Friday/Saturday   My weekend consisted of RA duties and stressful last minute Airbnb bookings. My last weekend duty ( Woo! ) as an RA was rather quiet which is what every RA hopes for.  For those of you who don't know what that is, you're basically on call for part of the weekend and need to carry a duty phone on you. If called, you need to handle any situation residents throw at you. I'm talking to you Freshmen! While nothing dire really happened, I woke up to a knock on my door and it was a fellow resident awkwardly asking me to assist him with an issue. Mind you, this was around 3-4 am so you best believe I was...
