Back at it for Senior Year

It's been a while since I've visited my St. Mike's blog! There has been a lot going on between when I was last at St. Mike's (for the Fall 2014 semester) and now. I am entering into my senior year; a thing that I thought would never roll around and couldn't be more excited. I'm excited to see my professors, to see my friends, and to get back into the swing of things here on campus! Last semester, I had the wonderful opportunity to study abroad in Seville, Spain and had the best time. I met so many incredible people and fell head over heels in love with the city. I have no doubt in my mind that one day; I will end up back there!
This summer, I have been easing my way back into campus life by working in the Marketing Department. I have been assisting in a variety of projects, taking photos, and making the video series First Year Fridays for the incoming students. It has been a great experience and I've learned a lot!

While working on campus, I have been living in downtown Burlington learning to cook for myself and hanging out with my two wonderful housemates. Between eating pints of Ben and Jerry's and watching New Girl together, it has been an epic summer that was hard to see go. But I am so thrilled for the upcoming year!
This year, I'm living in an apartment with 3 other girls I am so excited to be living with. I'll be the Alumni Relations Coordinator for Founders Society. I will be the coordinator for the Dominican Republic Extended Service Trip. And I will be Co-President (with my good friend Casey) of the AcaBella's. There will be a lot going on, to say the least, but it's everything I love doing on campus and people I love spending time with.
People have begun to ask me about my "post-grad plans" which reminds me of being a senior in high school and figuring out colleges. There were always the people who asked where you were going to college before you even started applying, and that's kind of how it feels now. I have no idea. I have absolutely no idea, and I'm totally fine with that. I see all my friends who have just graduated and just think about the different routes they've all taken. Some choose to do service, some find a job right away in their field, and some find a job that are temporary for now, but they have fun with it. I know I'll figure it out at some point, but for now, I'm focusing on enjoying my last year at St. Mike's!
