Moving Up in the World

Hi Friends!

I’m reporting from my new home, Mulledy 4 East, where I am now a Resident Assistant in a hallway of 38 lovely ladies.

Last year, I enjoyed living in Mulledy 2 West, but I of course, I am psyched to literally move up in the world to the fourth floor. Those extra two flights are totally worth it when I get to hang with such cool people and enjoy the immense learning opportunity that it is to be employed by Residence Life.

As a first-year RA, I also was able to work as an orientation leader during Fall Gateways. Basically, I’ve been hanging out with the class of 2018 quite a bit, and from what I can tell they’re a really cool class.

It was sort of strange to be on the other side of gateways, both in the summer and in the fall, because I couldn’t believe how quickly a year had gone by, and perhaps more importantly, how quickly I fell in love with Holy Cross.

Today was the first day of classes, and I sort of passively appreciated how walking around campus and finding classes and talking to other students and new professors seemed so much easier this time around, not to mention how much less overwhelming 12-page syllabi looked.

It’s amazing how much comfort I now find in being a Holy Cross student when I think about the incredible mix of nervousness and anticipation I experienced at this time last year.

This is not to say that I’m so comfortable that I’m bored, in fact, to say that I’m excited about my courses and activities this year would be an understatement. I don’t yet know the ways in which I will be stretched and pushed this year, but I know that it is inevitable and awesome. Bring it on HC.

DFTBA

Emily
