It’s getting to that point in the semester. The bags under my eyes are getting out of hand and I’m surviving on three cups of coffee a day. I call this the mid-semester slump. I am constantly wishing for the weekend, for Christmas break, and even wishing I was just finished with college all together.Continue reading “Adele has more to say than just “Hello””

Amazing time in the Amazon
Impulsivity is both a strength and a weakness of mine. Sometimes it hinders me, like signing up for more than I can chew or climbing a tree only to skin both my knees. However, most of the time it leads to unforgettable experiences- choosing UT Austin, joining Chi Beta Delta, or taking an assistantship inContinue reading “Amazing time in the Amazon”
Uptown Girl
By: Haley Squiers In the past few years, I’ve really strived to live by this quote from Ronald Reagan: “If not us, than who? If not now, then when?”.

Farewell From the 2014-2015 CEO
I arrived in Austin nearly four years ago as a wide-eyed freshman who didn’t know anyone. I missed summer orientation and Camp Texas, which meant I missed out on making friends.

I don’t like telling people this, but I actually considered transferring toContinue reading “Farewell From the 2014-2015 CEO”
If the Shoe Fits
The iconic blue dress was hard to miss as I watched Lily James twirl around on screen. The new Cinderella movie hit theaters during spring break, and my mom and I wanted to see what all of the buzz was about. I was pleasantly surprised by this rendition of the fairy tale. This version projectsContinue reading “If the Shoe Fits”
Learning Something Outside of a Degree Plan
“What is Chi Beta Delta?” is a question I get asked countless times. Often I answer in simple terms, along the lines of “Sisterhood through Service.” But, of course I am writing this blog to tell you that it is much, much more than that. In fact, more than I can put into words, butContinue reading “Learning Something Outside of a Degree Plan”
