I made a list of a few simple things OSU students can do to help the environment . We came up this this in class!

Soy puertorriqueña = I’m Puerto Rican.

To be more precise, I’m 75% Puerto Rican and the rest Italian…or to be more precise again, Sicilian.

But in this blog, I don't babble too much about that. Instead, here I offer my own insights and also a resource available to Hispanic students: Se llama, ¿Qué Pasa?, OSU. It's pretty nifty.

Everywhere I turn someone is reminding me to get my flu shots. I see it as I walk into the grocery stores and drug stores (Flu Shots Offered Here!), it’s all over the news…I even see it at 8 a.m. when my dad decides that 8 a.m. is the opportune moment to text and remind me to get a shot…right dad. Sometimes I wonder if I should have ever taught him how to text.

It has been pointed out to me by various people throughout my life that I stress out easily. I will take this one step further and say that it stems from the fact that I am an indecisive person to begin with as proven by the Pajama Incident.

My boyfriend and I found Dooley's Orchard ...except it wasn't exactly what we had expected.

 I wrote my professor to tell him I would be missing class. He said it was fine...but he got my name wrong--in an email!

 The key words that trigger a type of ‘educational coma’ are as follows : ‘research’, ‘paper’, ‘abstract’, ‘policy’, ‘summary’, ‘effects’ and ‘analyze’.

Today was the first official meeting of the Arts and Sciences Colleges Student Council (ASC SC). I got free pizza....and I gave my little speech on what I do as an officer.

I have had 17 first days of classes in my life. One year in particular stands out to me. The year of crayons and crushes...I was in kindergarten. I might be a bit bitter now after reuniting with a crush.

Move in day was different for me the first time at my former college my freshman year. I had no idea what was in store for my move-in day at OSU. Turns out, wasn't so bad.

Move in week is just around the corner and you may be doing some final shopping for school. There are a few things that you want to make sure you have with you that you may not have thought of. I certainly could have done with some of these things when I first moved in.

Well if you have been following OSU football, our close victory over Navy is still fresh in your mind. And today, the anticipation for the OSU VS USC game is building.

Oh the anxiety of getting lost on a large campus can be great, but there are always ways to make it easier and ease your mind.

Well I was putting off blogging just in case something eventful would happen in my life...and nothing happened. Sigh.

 Alright. I finally have a few moments to relax after a hectic week! I moved from my old apartment on 14th to my new house on Norwich. I am excited to start off this new year with two great roommates and a nicer place to stay.

We all took them—the SAT, ACT or both. Some freaked out more than others over their scores. I took the classes and I bought the massive books. I studied, applied and got into the schools I wanted. I have completed three years of college and there is yet one test that looms over me now. That is the GRE (The Graduate Record Examinations).
 

By now I’m sure there is more than one home with a pile of stuff people keep tripping over. Dorm items.

Sometimes the classroom comes to you. Today it was brought to me in the form of a rehearsal dinner the day before a wedding. Oh... and I thought I could dance. I don't think that anymore.
