Finals Season

Hey everyone, Fortunately, the end of the year is upon us. Finals start in a week and everyone is ready to get out of here. This is probably one of the most craziest times of the year, because not only are we preparing for finals, we are packing our rooms and getting ready to go home. So we are also trying to secure jobs, internships and etc. This summer I am staying in VT and living with a friend, that way I can keep working at my job with Washington County Mental Health Services! Vermont summers are gorgeous and I hope to spend a lot of time swimming, kayaking and camping. Read more →

Personally, if I was a prospective student (Or even a student looking for next years classes) I think I would find this background info pretty helpful. As for my classes this semester, I'm taking 5, which is one more than last semester. I find the workload to be just fine, although that's also probably partially due to the fact that I am a freshman. I am currently a communications major and I will be adding on a marketing minor next year. As for classes, I have : Intro to Mass Media Public Speaking Elementary Statistics Intro to Psychology English 102 So first, Mass Media. This is a class that's required for communication majors, and I'm taking it with... Read more →
