Pumpkin Carving and Terrariums

Hello everyone! The other day, a few of my friends and I all went to the lobby of our building to carve our own pumpkins. I forgot how much fun (and messy) pumpkin carving is. I shared a pumpkin with one of my friends and we ended up putting it between our doors in the hallway since we are neighbors. It was fun to embrace the Halloween spirit and carve pumpkins before this weekend when it's actually Halloween. Another activity that went on this week happened yesterday when one of our resident advisors in our building set up a place where students could go to make terrariums and drink either tea or hot chocolate.

Ultimate Frisbee

Hello everyone! I'm excited to announce that I have joined the ultimate frisbee club here on campus. I have never played on an ultimate frisbee team before and was never really good at frisbee when I was younger, but I tried it out the other day and had a lot of fun. We have some tournaments coming up where we can go and play other teams so that is super exciting. I'm also meeting a bunch of new people which is a change from most of the friends I've made that are also civilians.

We are about halfway through the semester and will usually have the most work now, so make sure you are all staying healthy and taking breaks for yourself! Read more →

Norwich has a bunch of activities students can participate in, some things like paint nights, pumpkin carving, succulent plant making, sending letters home, apple picking, hiking, acupuncture and so many more. My friends and I got together the other night and used the painting supplies NU handed out to paint our creations together. It was a fun activity for us to participate in and made us step out of our creative bubbles a little bit as well. I also tried acupuncture for the first time at the Counseling and Wellness Center a few days ago and that is extremely relaxing. I have been spending the majority of my days in class or completing assignments, so this was a nice little break from all the work we have to complete on a regular basis. I'm back to work today though as I have spent a large part of my... Read more →
