Ready, Get Set …Sumo!
We get 6 weeks off for winter break – but it goes by in a flash when you spend most of it in a country 6,735 miles away. As I sit here on the couch of my friend’s off campus apartment while cheering on the New York Giants and eating honey bbq wings, random thoughts [...]
Fitting Back Into the Puzzle
After a long few weeks at home and now nearly a week of being back at Lafayette, my whole semester abroad feels very much like a dream. While the campus doesn’t look exactly the same, and a ¼ of the student body has been exchanged with a new batch of bright and cheery students, I [...]
Back From Africa; Beat Lehigh on Sunday
Mambo, Leopards fans? I have returned from my excursions in Africa and am happy to see that my team has been holding its own in conference play. My trip was a great success, filled with many escapades and memorable moments. Below I will detail my adventures and show how my experiences could benefit the Leopards. [...]
Inside Fox News
Last Thursday, I had the privilege of having an externship at Fox News in New York City. An externship is similar to a mini internship or a job shadow, and it is hosted by alumni, students’ parents, and/or friends of the college. I had an externship last year with PBS 39 in Bethlehem, P.A., and [...]
When one plan ends, it’s time to make another.

A Look Back Before I Go
As I stand on the precipice of a new semester, I reflect back on the past semester. Of course, that would be my semester abroad studying at Goldsmiths College in London, the one which you have been following on my blog. This past semester has truly been an experience which will ever ring clear in [...]
Back at Lafayette After a Year Abroad
It’s been a long time since my last blog, but I decided it would be nice to write an epilogue to my European travels. After classes ended for my six-week course in Rome, several of the girls from the class and I traveled to one of the Greek Isles and spent the week in a [...]
How to Survive Winter Break
Okay, Winter Break. You win. I’m ready to go back to college. Keep in mind, five weeks ago I did not think this. After braving the abnormality known as an undergraduate’s sleep schedule during finals week, I was excited for home. I’m sure others felt the same, but personally, I was eager for my bed: [...]
Happy New Year
Let me first say Happy New Year and hopefully everyone had a safe but eventful New Year’s Eve. Now with the beginning of the year comes a lot of new expectations and goals that have to be achieved and a lot of new endeavors. The New Year allows for people to set numerous New Year’s [...]
Training Trip

I’m a diver on the Lafayette swimming and diving team so I am currently in Plantation, Florida (close to Fort Lauderdale) with the women’s and men’s teams for our annual winter break training trip. Many swim teams (high schools and colleges) travel to [...]
