Winter Break Work Fun!!

As I mentioned in my last post I am working over Winter Break. I started this past Friday with a full day of putting together and sending out mailings! If you're a prospective student expect to receive something that looks like this in the mail sometime soon!


Also, notice my cute gray cardigan! It has the school's logo on the left hand side. Us Student Ambassadors were given these as Christmas presents this year from the Admissions team. I was so excited I wore it on my first day back to work. :)

Happy 2012!!!

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

It's so exciting to finally reach 2012 because I graduate in May! :D It seems a bit more real now that the actual year is here. I'm currently on winter break and enjoying some time to catch up with friends and relax without looming schoolwork deadlines... I received all of my grades from last semester and am very pleased. JUST missed Dean's List but it was my busiest semester so far and I'm just glad I kept my sanity in the end. :P I hope everyone had a great holiday! Here is a picture of my parents and I on Christmas Eve before mass:


It's a tradition for me to take a picture on Christmas Eve with each of my parents these past few years, but we never get one all together (my dad, the resident photographer, doesn't ever bring out the tripod). So I decided to use my self-shooting camera skills that I learned from growing up in the social media age to capture all three of us together! They're laughing cause they think I'm a little crazy for trying. But hey! It turned out pretty darn good.

I am working in the Admissions office over winterim so hopefully I will see you on a tour or at our second Winter Open House on Saturday January 21st!

Last Fall Semester EVER!

Wow, it sure was weird to type out that title! It's true though, today marks the beginning of my last week of an undergraduate fall semester ever!! It's been a long crazy college ride, but as I'm registering for my final semester in the spring, and finishing up projects, presentations, and books for finals it's all setting in.

Another bright point is that NDMU is having their annual Christmas dinner this Thursday night! It's a chance for students and faculty to have dinner together as a community, and GET THIS, the faculty serve the students!! After all the hard work I'm putting into some of my classes you bet I want them to serve me a plate of delicious food! It's a great time full of holiday cheer and will be a welcome break from all the school work I'll be doing until next Wednesday (which is when my last final is).

DON'T FORGET!! Winter Open House is this Saturday, December 10th!! Be sure to RSVP online or call your admissions counselor! :)

Thanksgiving Break!

Hey Everyone!

NDMU's Thanksgiving Break is officially underway! I have my internship in the morning, and I'm trying to complete all of my assignments before the holiday, so my break probably won't actually start till Thanksgiving day but that's okay! I'll still get four days of relaxation and family! Speaking of family, my dad really likes Charlie Brown, so here's a little holiday cheer to throw your way. I hope everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving this year!

Weekend out in Baltimore

This weekend I went out with some friends to celebrate my birthday! I love being so close to downtown, there's always a lot of fun things to do! Here's a picture of my boyfriend & I:


Blog world, meet Dave! Just because you're a women's college student doesn't mean you won't have time to meet boys! (I am an example of this). ESPECIALLY because we are in such a big collegetown, which I talked about in my last post.

I think last weekend will be my last time for fun in a while. As the end of the semester draws closer it feels like everything is due around the same time! Time management skills will be something I'll be using a lot of until finals! I hope everyone had a good start to their week!

Also, don't forget! It's our Fall Preview Overnight this Thursday & Friday!!! Make sure to visit campus for an overnight visit full of information sessions, classes, campus activities, and hanging out with current students! :)

Baltimore Collegetown Network

Happy Tuesday Everyone!!

We had a Student Ambassador meeting today with a special guest from The Baltimore Collegetown Network. I don't know if many of you know but NDMU is a part of this organization along with 13 other schools locally in the Baltimore region. I think being a women's college in Baltimore adds so much more to your college career because you have to opportunity to interact with so many other college students! I learned today that there are 120,000 college students in Baltimore! You get the best of both worlds, a small community here at Notre Dame and the opportunity to use the resources at so many other schools. There's also a FREE shuttle that takes you to the local colleges, as well as downtown, and shopping destinations close by! Find out more by visiting their website: http://www.baltimorecollegetown.org/ (They're also on Facebook if you search "Baltimore Collegetown")

On another note, my 21st birthday was this weekend! I am going out to Power Plant Live downtown this Saturday with some friends to celebrate. I first have to get through this week of school work!

*Don't forget!!* We are offering an overnight visit event to campus next Wednesday into Thursday (17th into the 18th)! It's a great time to sit in on classes, get a tour of the university, hang out with current students, and see what life is like at Notre Dame! :)
