Update: Life As A College Student | October 8th, 2014

It's been quite a while since I have posted on here and since I have been able to talk to many of my friends and family back home! I have been super busy but having the time of my life here at Creighton. Here's a few of the things I've been up to: 



Coming from a class of about 140 and moving to a school with over 1,000 people in my freshman class seemed a little intimidating, but very exciting. I have only been here for about a month and a half, but I can already tell that I am surrounded by the people that will be my lifelong friends. Some of my favorite things to do in Omaha are making target runs with my roommate, going to the Old Market for breakfast on Saturdays, and getting to know the city! There's a lot more for me to explore still. 



I love walking across this  beautiful campus every morning!  

Being busy all of the time is very new to me. I have had to work harder here than ever before. Between my full class schedule, studying, volunteering, and clubs, I barely feel like I have enough time to just sit and relax. However, I am trying my best to embrace these new challenges and to still make time for myself--which isn't always easy. I like to blow off steam by going to yoga class or grabbing a bite to eat with friends. The only major downside to living in the dorms? I feel like I am always either just about to get catch something, sick, or just getting over a cold. The vitamin C intake has been real.

But in between all of the hard work and stress, I've had some great experiences. The music scene around Omaha is so exciting! I got to see Lorde while catching up with a few high school friends, then caught Matt and Kim at Creighton's Fallapalooza (who put on a crazy show by the way):

Speaking of music: I am a radio DJ at Creighton's BLUJ radio. You can catch me every Wednesday night from 8-9 pm by clicking here

So that's just a few of the things that have been keeping me busy! Fall break is in a week and I can't wait to go home and catch up with my puppy, family, and friends. I wish I could express how grateful I am for the people I have gotten to know so far and who have made my experience here so welcoming. I have fallen in love with Creighton and wouldn't have it any other way. xo
