Spring is here!
Students have returned to campus after spring break. The weather was unseasonably warm this week with temperatures reaching 81 degrees Fahrenheit! Students came out to enjoy the sun and catch up with friends. One of our work-study students captured some great pictures to share with you. Enjoy!
Snow Day!
With three weeks of the Spring semester coming to an end, classes are fully under way. Of course, most classes were fully under way by the second day of classes if not the first. But now the threat of exams and quizzes is not only imminent and shivering near the horizon – it is directly [...]
Back to School
With snow blanketed across the entire campus and icicles hanging from the sides of the Playhouse, RPI is in the middle of what has shown itself to be a very white winter. Over the past few weeks of winter break, it snowed in this area, people shoveled, it snowed again, people shoveled, it snowed again, [...]
Knee deep in snow
Hello there! Welcome back to Rensselaer! If you haven’t already been told, we are already one week deep into the new semester. This means that everyone is back from break and, if your hometown is anything like the rest of the country, knee deep in snow. Even with all the snow around here all the [...]
Reasons I like RPI
If there is one thing to appreciate about the weather around RPI, it is that one can never really trust the chill that begins to sink in towards the end of October. I say this in the aftermath of the 74 degrees (Fahrenheit) day that passed not too long ago. In the days following Family [...]
Exams & Band
Another two weeks of classes have gone by in what seems like two days. Time appears to be increasing its pace as each day whirs by. As we now settle into October and the beginning of cold weather, the first round of exams in most classes has passed and the steady flow of homework has [...]
Volunteering nearby
Last week was another ordinary week. We had pretty nice weather and all that. I changed my gym routine to three days a week, so I have so much more free time. I’m also thinking about starting to run again since the weather is nice. I’ve been meaning to join up with the RPI Fitness [...]
GM Week wraps up
GM Week was last week and it was a lot of fun. This is the week when we elect new student government officials. There were all sorts of cool thing going on around campus and it was funny to see how many posters were put up by people running for office in the student government. [...]
Free food is one of the greatest things in college
Last week was the warmest week we have had here yet this semester. It was great hanging outside and playing beach volleyball when I got back from class. I played in my first soccer game last week since spraining my ankle over winter break. We played horribly, but it was great to finally be playing [...]
Old shoes
Today I made the call. My old shoes are at the end of the line. I’ve had them since last May, and they’ve seen many miles of hiking, biking, and walking to classes. I began to think they were done last October when I wore them on a rainy day and my socks were soaked [...]
