End of the semester
Thursday is the end of classes. Usually, I am more than excited, but this year something is different, this year I feel scared. When Thursday comes, I will be almost be a senior in college. I cannot believe it.
While it obviously brings feelings of joy, the fear and sadness are overwhelming. York College has become my home over the past three years, and the students and faculty my family. I think...

Greek Week Update
Greek week has finally come to an end. At the conclusion, my sorority ended up in third place! It was a memorable week that was spent with my sisters and other Greek Organizations. Although school can be overwhelming and stressful, especially as the semester wraps up, it was great to take time out and enjoy the more fun aspects of college. I was even able to participate in one of the events! Sadly...
Greek Week is upon us!
Today marks the second day of Greek Week. For those of you who are not familiar with Greek life, it is a week full of sporting events, penny wars, a talent show and a spelling bee. No matter how much it reminds me of elementary school play day, I am still happy to participate! I may not be the most athletic, or to be honest, even remotely athletic sister in my sorority, but I still enjoy the time...
ITS FINALLY WARMING UP! Nothing makes me more excited to embrace the day than nice weather. Here’s to a productive day of class tomorrow!

Glenn Hetrick
Yesterday I was given the opportunity to interview a successful YCP alumni, Glenn Hetrick. For those of you who are not familiar with Hetrick, he is a special effects makeup artist. He has worked on many TV shows and movies. He is also a judge on the SyFy Channels “Face Off.” However,I find it most memorable that he worked on The Hunger Games and does costume work for lady Gaga....
New student day
I am currently working at YCP’s New Student Day for the bookstore. I have some downtime, and it has allowed me to reflect a little on the day so far.
Watching the students walk in reminds me of when I was in their exact position three short years ago. I cannot believe now that I will be preparing for graduation at this time next year. York college has changed and shaped me into the person I...
I’ve never truly believed Mondays were the worst day of the week, until this semester. I go from class to work to night class. I know that’s what i’m here for, but this is quite the introduction back into the school week after break.
I’m feeling overwhelmed, but know I just need to make a cup of tea and a large to-do list to get my life and mind back on track. Taking...

The Dress Sale Comes to an End
So, its finally over! The Junior League of York and PRSSA dress sale is finished! What a crazy/ stressful/ fun experience it was.
At the end of the sale we ended up making more than $1,000 for non-profits in the York area in only three days! I cant even believe it! I couldn’t have done it without the help of the PRSSA, The Junior League, my sorority ( Theta Phi Alpha), my co-account...
700 Dress Movement
Today I moved 700 dresses from the Junior League of York to the West Manchester Mall. Okay, I had some help, but it was quite the ordeal!
We were moving the dresses for the PRSSA and Junior League of York dress sale this weekend. There are dresses, costumes and accessories of all kinds being sold at extremely discounted prices. The proceeds will be used to benefit the York Community. In my...
Recruitment comes to an end
Tomorrow night at around 9:30 my sorority will be receiving a whole new class of new members, and I cannot wait! All weekend the sororities on campus and potential new members have been spending hours getting to know one another. Believe me, it is not an easy task for all parties involved, but it is totally worth it in the end.
Sitting here now it makes me think of the recruitment process I went...
About an hour ago I was checking students into a blood drive in honor of our late professor Dr. Carroll. Many of these students knew they were in for a 90 minute wait in order to donate. The blood drive was held on what would have been Dr. Carroll’s 69th birthday. Seeing the room full of students made me realize how Dr. Carroll really made a difference in the York College community. It also...

Late-night laundry blogger
Here I find myself again. Its 12:30 am and my laundry is FOUR floors down. This may seem like a case of pure laziness, but for those of you in York, I challenge you to look out of your window. It is pouring rain. I’d like to say this is one of those situations that only happen to me. However, I know that I will trudge downstairs and pleasantly find someone with clothes in the washer. As the...
