The weeks seem to be passing faster
The weeks seem to be passing faster. Now that Thanksgiving break looms on the horizon, it’s hard to look at anything else. Thank goodness that all of the tests that are coming up are either at the last day of class or during finals week. In any case, life on campus has been pretty good [...]
Whoa that was a busy weekend!
Whoa that was a busy weekend! Even though my family stayed home for family weekend, I still got a chance to meet the families of pretty much everyone in my residence hall. It’s quite a bit harder to get anything done when you’re constantly being asked “How do you like RPI?” and “Where’s the Union?” [...]
Halloween and upcoming events
Halloween is coming up! This means that my fraternity will be hosting an annual Halloween event called “Goobers.” It’s something we put on for Troy public school children. We collect a bunch of leaves, fill our hallway, and pretty much make it into a haunted house. It’s really fun to dress up and decorate rooms [...]
Family Weekend
Every time it comes to be Friday I get a sense of relief. During the week it’s a lot of work, and a lot of effort, and on the weekends it’s nice to be able to relax. Studying still has to get done of course, but there’s plenty of time to relax. I’m sure I’ll [...]

Every single difficult assignment comes due all at once
Homework assignments are starting to pick up now that the first tests of the semester are out of the way. This is the real meat of any semester, where every single difficult assignment comes due all at once. You might also notice that all tests tend to happen on the same week for no apparent [...]
Career Fair Time
This weekend is the annual NSBE/SHPE Career Fair here at RPI. This is the largest student run career fair in the nation, and many students are always looking for a job, Co-op, or internship. The career fair is held in the RPI Armory, and is a great opportunity for students to get their resumes out, [...]
Summer excitement
Hello Class of 2013,
I haven’t been up to date on my blogs like everyone else, so I have a lot to write about. First off, this summer has been so exciting and fun in so many different ways. I’ve gone hiking, canoeing, camping, exploring the beautiful gorge right in Troy, and so much more, and [...]
