Who are we? AQ!

I finally got a confirmation e-mail for the Orientation Team for 2012. My freshman orientation was definitely something to remember: meeting my roommate for the first time, Project Unite, my first weekend at college, etc.

What would you like to know about me?

I remember participating in those 30 Picture Challenges over Facebook and thought it would apply well to my blog. Usually I have some sort of idea of what to blog about, but lately it feels more like rambling. And I want to be able to write about any topic that's given to me. But I'm only going to use it in case I can't think of something to write about. This is one of those days.

Do Not Be Afraid

Happy Sunday! Not only is it the last performance of Arab/Israeli Cookbook, but also the last week of classes before Spring Break. Not only does this mean March is getting closer and I'll have a life again, but it also means that my trip to Malawi is getting closer and closer as we speak. We haven't technically started the actual class for this Study Abroad trip, but we didn't realize how much details were needed to be figured out before we traveled. And thank god we did!

You want hummus with that?

Thirteen reasons for Lent

As promised, here is a picture of me with red hair. I'm still getting use to it, but I've received many compliments on the color so I think I'll keep it for a while. One thing that was a little hard to adjust to was that some colors of clothes look very strange with my new hair color. And also the sly comments about gingers not having souls, for which I'm starting to feel offended by these comments.

No longer sick of home

There was a saying I would always point out during the summer: I'm not homesick, I'm sick of home. I've been living in the same area my entire life. An area famous for cherries and most recently, the Sleeping Bear Dunes, it's a beautiful area to grow up. I've only moved once, and that was only down the street to my grandparents old house. The area I live in, Leelanau County, is absolutely gorgeous there's no question. Each season has it's unique perks.

I think I need a Pepsi...

Wake Up People! This is one of the biggest events at Aquinas College, and since it's the 125th birthday, this year was no exception. Simply put, it's an event sponsored by Pepsi with complimentary food from vendors, live music/entertainment and the exciting conclusion to “AQ Idol,” the annual campus talent competition.
