Oh. My. God. So I was cruising my beloved alma mater’s website and what do I come across? A link advertising an unexpected dance party at Bates. So of course I decided to watch it. After calling Jordan three times to come in because “he’s gotta see this!” and receiving no response, I just decided [...]

This Saturday was the first day Jordan and I have had to spend together in a long time. I was away from the apartment last weekend and the weekend before, who knows. Basically, we both felt as if we hadn’t been in each others’ presence, or at least paying attention to each other for a [...]

Now you won’t find this disorder in the DSM but I’m suffering from it, I’m sure of it. Like a great first date, I’ve been thinking about my Bates trip constantly since it finished. I don’t even know how best to express “how it was”. I guess what I would say is it was totally [...]

One of the great things about Bates is its location. Lewiston is a city that may seem intimidating at first but if you take the time to explore, your eyes can be opened to all the interesting and innovative activities, restaurants and organizations that Lewiston has to offer. But beyond the city of Lewiston, we [...]

I really enjoy my weekday mornings. In fact, I think they might be my favorite time of the whole day. I’ve just woken up, the day is fresh and full of potential. I usually get up pretty early so the early morning light is quite beautiful and the city is pretty quiet. I have a [...]

A good friend of mine was asked to provide an updated write-up about Bates for one of these books that talk about a billion different colleges and what life is like at these schools.

What is diversity? There is absolutely no reason for the title of this blog post to be in French other than as I sat down to write this and title it I thought… (the quotations indicate my mind speaking) “‘What is Diversity?’, hmmm that seems good.

It was my roommate’s 22nd birthday last night and so we decided to cook her a delicious meal and make her homemade carrot cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. We had a wonderful dinner, great conversation (we went around in a circle and said why we were grateful for her) and an overall relaxing and [...]
