Life at Rensselaer

My birthday is coming up

By Andrew ⋅ November 19, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

What a quick week! When things are busy, the time really seems to fly by. I had two exams this week: calculus and physics. I got my physics exam back today and am quite pleased with the results. Unfortunately, I’ll have to wait until Monday to hear about calculus. Exam weeks always feel sort of [...]

Boomerang!

By Aidan ⋅ October 16, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

I have been working on a lot of makeup work for the classes I missed on Thursday and Friday. Besides doing homework, today before dinner, my pals and I went over to the high school football field and threw boomerangs for a while. Brian has (had) two boomerangs. One of them is a standard boomerang [...]

If it isn’t apparent yet, I love college

By Christopher N. ⋅ September 25, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

This is my first blog, ever! I am a freshman working in the Office of First Year Experience and having a great time at RPI.
I am enjoying my classes (challenging, but in a fun way) and I have tons of new friends even though I’ve only been here a few weeks.
I have played tennis behind [...]

I’d rather bike, but I guess I’ll walk

By Aidan ⋅ September 25, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

My bike is broken! It’s really a shame because I have been riding it to all of my classes. From Cary Hall I can get just about anywhere on campus in five minutes on my bike, but now I have to assume about fifteen to walk to my classes. “What’s wrong with [...]

Cliff jumping

By Carlos ⋅ September 21, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

This weekend Omar and I went cliff jumping. It was a great way to get our minds off of the difficult tests that are coming up this week. I didn’t drive, so I don’t know the location, but it was about 10-15 minutes away from campus.

Fast and fun week

By Derek ⋅ September 18, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

So it’s been another fast week of school, but definitely a fun one. I can’t believe how fast weeks go by now, I guess it’s just because I’ve already done this for three years. I had a great weekend going out with friends, playing beach volleyball, and just relaxing. Sunday evening wasn’t all that great [...]

A nice, short week of classes

By Andrew ⋅ September 11, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Thanks to the day off for Labor Day, this was a nice, short week of classes. I was able to use the day off to complete all of my previously assigned work, even that which wasn’t due until the end of this week. As a result, I was able to have some more time to [...]

Back to school and the studying whip is already out

By Marissa ⋅ September 8, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

There’s nothing like getting back to listening to hilarious IEA professors crack open their daily Pepsi can to start their lectures on RPI’s few warm days. Back to school and the studying whip is already out. But, you know what, all summer I couldn’t wait to get back to the books. It’s tough being home [...]

I can’t believe I’m actually saying…

Now Listening – “Girl All The Bad Guys Want” by Bowling For Soup
I still can’t believe it’s only a week until the SO Staff is back and ready for Student Orientation Session 5 and Navigating Rensselaer & Beyond. Everything is coming together and I can’t wait for it all to start. I’m also really excited [...]

Chilling and relaxing before school starts

By Kristi ⋅ August 14, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

A group of my girl friends went out this past Saturday night to this pasta place on Route 7 in Latham. We all got dressed up in nice dresses when we got there though… this was the type of place that you could wear jeans and sneakers to. It was funny because we look way [...]
