6 Stages of Spring Break Withdrawal

By: Judy Lee ‘17

The great thing about Spring semester is that it has a break during a time that is actually pretty sunny in other places, too. Winter break? Sure, it’s longer and it’s a good ol’ holiday time. But spring break? Just the last-minute energizer week you need to finish out the year in hopes of the promises summer will bring. But we all know what happens initially when we return from spring break. Something along the lines of…

Just Annoying Professor Things

By: Judy Lee ‘17

I’m going to preface this by saying that I appreciate the work that all my professors (adjunct and TAs included) have done to enhance my educational experience. The following are just minor pet peeves against a grand scale of mental and emotional transformation I have gained from receiving an education at one of the best universities in the nation. Professors put in a lot more work than we give them credit for, but sometimes they do things that can drive their students up the whiteboard…

Loving Yourself Is More Important Than You Think

By: Judy Lee ‘17

We all hear the term “self-love” thrown around a lot these days. Most times, it’s a term used to encapsulate nice things you can do for yourself that make you happy. Now, before I move any further with this: yes, it is very important to do things that make you happy. However, I feel as if it runs much deeper than that.

By: Judy Lee ‘17

I’ve definitely been there. My older sister studied abroad in France when I was in high school and I remember her returning from her trip and complaining about the disgustingly large food portions America has. “There they go again,” we all collectively say, “just another study abroad student bragging about their trip that somehow makes them so much more special now.” Not gonna pretend that isn’t the attitude most people have, and the person I have come to sympathize with.

By: Judy Lee ‘17

First thing’s first: I’m not pursuing a progressive degree. However, I was very keen on pursuing one throughout my sophomore year and did an extensive amount of research into the prospect at the time. What primarily drove me towards obtaining a progressive degree was a career panic I had concerning receiving a master’s degree.

In light of this, I did more research on possible master’s I could receive from Annenberg only to stumble upon a very tempting opportunity: pursue a master’s parallel to your bachelor’s and graduate with both degrees.
