Well, I've been in DeKalb for over 3 years, and it is insane.  It seems like just yesterday I left work, graduated High School and went on to be a Huskie.  Honestly, I can't believe how fast time has gone by.  But at the same time, I wouldn't change anything for the world.  This has been an awesome experience so far, and I know that is only going ( Read more... )

I was thinking the other day how fast these last few years at NIU have gone, and before we know it junior year is going to be over and we will all be seniors.  Its completely shocking to me, it feels like it was just yesterday that I moved into 302 Grant Tower A.  Now we are talking about what we are doing after graduation.  I thought I would put ( Read more... )

I've been kind of lacking motivation all day today. This week has been the first week since the beginning of the semester that I haven't been totally swamped, so I decided to go over to TKEs and chill with Paul last night. I did a personal first, joining the century club. It was fun ( Read more... )
