4 Reasons Spring Semester Will Be Radical

January 20th, 2014 embrea17

Hello Friends!

I’m back at Holy Cross, and it feels really good. Thanks to the remarkably helpful mother and father moving back in wasn’t a hassle at all. Unpacking and organizing wasn’t awesome but jamming to The Lovin’ Spoonful helped a little bit. Now that I’m all settled in and getting amped for HC life to start again, here are the top four things I’m excited for in my second semester (in no particular order).

1. Classes: Comparative Politics, Spanish, CRAW Fiction, and The Muslim World. I can’t think of a better schedule for me to explore new things and continue to explore the things I liked last time around. It also helps that I don’t have any classes before 9:30!

2. Friends: While I obviously will still have the pleasure of meeting new people, it is so nice to have some really great friends and to be done with that awkward stage of only semi-knowing people.

3. Spring Immersion: Over spring break I will be going to somewhere in Appalachia to do service with other Holy Cross students. I’ve only heard great things about these trips and I really can’t wait to find out more about where I’ll be going and what I’ll be doing!

4. Going Places: This semester I am making it a point to make better use of our shuttles. We have them to Boston, Providence, and other cool locations every week and I *really need* to make better use of these. Even just the times I’ve gone into Worcester have been a really great experience. (Side note, if you’re looking for a good restaurant in Worcester check out EVO near Kelly Square. It rocks!)

In general, I’m just really excited to see how this semester will take shape.

    After our tour of Holy Cross we discovered The Corner Grille at 808 Pleasant Street in Worcester. The best pizza I ever had!
