Hi everyone! Time sure flies by quickly. I am already done with my junior year of college and on my way to senior year. To sum up my junior year in one word, I think “rewarding” really ties it all together.

Hi everyone! This past Friday, I attended my 5th WILD at the beautiful Brookings Quadrangle. WILD is the biggest social event/concert of the semester, presented by the Social Programming Board. It is free for all undergraduate students, and there are free pizza, Jimmy John’s, and soda for all. This year, the featured artist, Jason Derulo, came and performed his top hits! We had Natalie La Rose as the opener and Vanic as a surprise closer.

Hi everyone! Let me tell you about this awesome new restaurant in St. Louis: Cate Zone. This is my “new” for this past month of April.

Hi everyone! Each year, hundreds of Wash U students work together to put on a three-day carnival for the St. Louis community at the corner of Skinker and Forest Park Parkway. Dozens of student groups create fun booths, attractions, and facades for people of all ages.

WuStock is an all-day festival held each year at the Swamp, hosted by Congress of the South 40. This year, WuStock featured the Grammy Award winning artist, Daya! She performed her most famous songs, including singing The Chainsmokers’ “Don’t’ Let Me Down.”

What’s up, everyone! Today, I would like to share with you all a day in Nancy’s life. Now I need to remind you that not every day of my life is going to be as awesome as this sounds, but this is a typical Monday for me.

Hi guys! I have some huge gossip/news to share! There was a food truck on campus today for lunch. Yes, a food truck! Is this for real?? Rumor has it that this was a pilot project. If successful (which, judging from the gigantic line today), this might become a reoccurring event for EVERY Tuesday for the rest of the semester!

Hi everyone! I just returned from a fun trip to Las Vegas! The most unexpected thing happened there: I met up with a Wash U friend of mine, David, without planning at all. This shows that even though the world is gigantic, the “Wash U Bubble” is always home sweet home.

I spent yesterday evening volunteering at a fun event for my internship. In my last post, I mentioned that I am a Development and Fundraising intern at Angel Band Project. Last night, I attended “An Intimate Evening with The Occasionals,” which was this Mardi Gras themed fundraising concert at Joe’s Café with music, food, and drinks.

Hi everyone! For the past few months, I have been interning at a local non-profit organization, Angel Band Project. Angel Band Project is a national, non-profit organization based in St. Louis, Missouri. Its mission is to break the silence surrounding sexual and intimate partner violence and to provide healing for survivors through the power of music.

Hi everyone! What better way is there to celebrate a birthday than going to Ibby’s? That’s right, I spent my birthday at my favorite place on campus: IBBY’s. And, I got the bananas foster while being surrounded by 18 friends. We had to split the table into two, but everyone was able to get their food and eat dessert. 🙂

Hi everyone! One goal I will try to set for myself this semester is to explore at least one new place each month and also go to an old, favorite place again. This past week, I went to two very special places that made me feel at home and happy. This was a great way to start off a brand new semester (with yummy food).

Hi everyone! The awesome thing about reading week at the end of the semester is the extra days off from class. While this time is supposed to be used for studying, it is also perfect for procrastinators like me who want to explore St. Louis before final exams.

Hi everyone! This week, I spent some time interviewing my friend, Hannah, who studied in Korea for the fall semester of her junior year. Let’s see what she has to say about her abroad experience!

Hey everyone! Guess what time of the semester it is? It’s time for final exams! This means that Olin Library is twice as packed as usual, everyone looks twice as tired, and somehow our sleep hours shorten to only 2 hours a night. Here are five quick tips on how to conquer this week like a champ!

What’s better than hearing Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Requiem in D minor performed live by one of the best symphony orchestras in the world? Last Saturday, I went to hear this incredible performance LIVE in Powell Hall with a couple of my friends. I can honestly say that this was one of the most exciting nights of the semester!
