By Aidan ⋅ October 23, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Bike Update: Finally I have all the pieces I need to put my bike back together. Unfortunately I don’t have the tools I need to do the job. Luckily I happen to have found a member of the bike club who has all the necessary tools and has offered to help me. I will take [...]

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.

I can’t believe I’m actually saying…

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

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 [...]

Now Listening – “Say Anything (else)” by Cartel
I still can’t believe how fast this summer’s going! In a little more than two weeks I’ll be beginning my Junior year of college. I’m really excited. This week’s been fun. There are a good amount of advisors still in the area, so we all went out to [...]

Preparing my room for this year?!

Monday night, August 3rd, I went bowling with some of my sisters and friends from a fraternity on campus. It was dollar bowling night at Uncle Sam’s Bowling Lanes (right near the new residence hall called Blitman Commons) and it was so much fun except the fact that I am horrible at bowling.
Here is the [...]

Summer is slowing down now…

By Kristi ⋅ August 6, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Summer is slowing down now that Orientation is done. I’m actually getting my needed 8 hours of sleep each night. I’m working out more and more so I can get in better shape before school starts.
In one of my past blogs, I said I was going to a “SURPRISE LOCATION” but I never told you [...]

And we just keep going

By Chris ⋅ July 20, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

I still can’t believe we’re already done with two Student Orientation sessions already. They were a lot of fun and I’m so glad I got to meet a lot of you. To celebrate, we all went out tonight to Buca di Beppo on Wolf Rd. in Albany and had some great food. Tomorrow, we’re all heading to Grafton Lake to hang out. Then, we’ve got the first transfer orientation, a day off to prepare, and then two more student orientation sessions. I can’t wait. For those…
