UVM Blogs

Life has been really crazy lately, mostly because my internship is owning my soul. I spend so much time with both my UVM Faculty Supervisor and my Internship Supervisor that I don’t even remember what my roommates look like. Its coming up to class registration for the Spring, and I am so ready to meet [...]

This morning when I woke up, for the first time ever since the semester started, and I truly realized how much I really do miss living on Campus. The convenience of just rolling out of bed, throwing some sweats on, swiping your CatCard for some breakfast and coffee, then grabbing the bus to class (all in [...]

Whoa… It’s been a while, but I think I’m ready to get back into the swing of things. Somehow, between entering UVM and spending the last three years here in Burlington, I became a Senior. It just snuck up on me, and started preparing me for the end. Its been about two weeks now, and school [...]

Every so often, there is a gathering of sorts in the Davis Center where the Board of Trustees come together and make most of the academic and economic decisions for the following school year. That time is NOW! For the next couple of days there will be meeting upon meeting, where Alumni, Students, Faculty and [...]

Its been quite some time since I have been able to blog, and that is something I would like to think is coming to an end soon… Starting with this post. The new year has started, and it is going all out! Just last night was Winter Ball, and night of dance and socializing offered [...]

Hello All! I know I have been MIA recently, but it was for a good cause… ACADEMIC SUCCESS!!!!!!! I have just finished my three weeks of mid-terms/mid-term papers and project, and I have come out on top! Passed all of my mid-terms with acceptable grades, and can now focus on the rest of the semester without [...]

For my expository writing class we had to read a “cluster” of articles, journal entries, view images and comics, in addition to official documentations of the My Lai case in regard to the Vietnam War. I am foreign. Very, very, very foreign, and hadn’t ever heard of My Lai at all in the little American [...]

OH MAN! It has been an entire weekend since I have posted, and I am thoroughly sorry for the delay! I have been in the full swing of homecoming weekend, and everything that I was obligated to do over the weekend, that I had no time to spare for blogging. But the time is nigh! I [...]

Whoa! Mind blown in Larry’s Class today… Just gonna throw this out there, take it or leave it. Schools are manipulated environments where everything is a control, and we just exist within its boundaries. Just think about that… We live in an experiment, that is being carried out all over the country. Thank you Larry, I [...]

If you have been on campus these past three days, you may have noticed that there is a moisture theme that UVM likes to pull out every so often and set free upon the campus. I’m just kidding, that is all Mother Nature, so send your complaints elsewhere. But seriously, it is making Bailey Howe (Library) [...]

When I woke up this morning, and looked at the date, I knew it was time… Time to get my game face on for two very obvious reasons: 1) I had Badminton in like 35 minutes. 2) It is the beginning of Homecoming Weekend, and I had to get my Class Council face on! Now [...]

O. EM. GEE. This morning, it was beautiful out, albeit a bit humid. I pranced to my Psych Exam, listening to my pre-exam song, and soaked up all the beautiful rays of sunlight that managed to pop through the clouds. When I left the exam and headed over to the Sociology Department (31 S. Prospect st.) [...]

As I prepare to go into my first Psych Exam of the semester, I find myself contemplating a lot of the reading material, and making sure that I have gotten the important bits, and haven’t just been memorizing every little detail. However, I know for a fact that information that I have memorized probably won’t [...]

I know your thinking this has nothing to do with UVM. But I was having a really grey day today, and this cheered me right up. This is for everyone who had to trudge through the awful weather today. Just remember… At least you can have a dog.

So I figure since I spend most of my time on Monday’s at the Davis Center, I might as well inform you that there is a new art exhibit now on display at the DC! Rachel Kahn Fogel has some of her most colorfully whimsical pieces on display for all to come and enjoy! If you [...]

As I am now preparing to really enter into the real world (I am not quite yet a real person when I go to my 8:30 AM class), I found myself wanting to put on not a sweatshirt, or a peacoat, or a scarf… No, I wanted more than that. I wanted to wear my one of [...]

I am procrastinating. My friend’s think I’m writing my paper, but what they don’t know is that I’m writing this blog. I am going to try to give you tips on how to avoid procrastination… But it will probably be more of what things you are now going to be addicted to doing instead of doing [...]

I know… I know… I know… It has been a day since I have updated you on the status of UVM in relation to my life, or my life in relation to UVM. Well, you’ll be glad to hear that UVM is doing just fine, and nothing extreme has happened other than the antics displayed [...]

Hey Ya’ll Hey!!!!! Greeting from the Building Manager desk in the Davis Center Operations and Event Services Office! I feel like this Friday write up will be a weekly thing, mostly because there is ALWAYS something going down at the DC most Friday nights. Tonight there will be Salsa Dancing at Brennan’s from 6PM-9PM, so if [...]

I just realized how wonderful work study truly is… However, there are some that are better than others. I for example, have found my way into the magical land of Computer Lab Assistants, where your only real concern is to make sure that people are following the laws of the land (and they aren’t trying [...]

I wouldn’t say that I am much of a complainer, because I never let things get to the point where I have to complain about things. Usually, if something is in a common area, I will be the first to say, “Pick your stuff up, or it’ll be trashed once I start cleaning.” I know this [...]

Now I know some of you are thinking, “What is an ethnographic study?”… But it really sounds more like, “What the hell are you talking about?” Being that I am the sort of person that doesn’t like to be led by the blind, I will not tell you what it really means, but give you my [...]

Today I shall be entering the wild kingdom that is the “Social Research Surveys”! I am both excited and terrified, an I hope I do this well… BECAUSE MY GRADE IS COUNTING ON IT!!!!!
Off I go… Wish me well!!!!

The more you read this blog, the more you will notice that about 75% of my friends now live off campus. As a student here at UVM, this is a factor you as well shall face once you get into those later years. I never thought that I would be one of those people, and here [...]

Okay… I have just been released from Soc 100 (Methods of Soc), and my professor started talk of term papers. What does this mean, you ask? It means that the paper is so complicated that we must start researching now, rather than later. Thankfully (!!!), “Professor Mr. Dude Man Sir” has set the class schedule up [...]

Well, it is now 12:26 AM and I have just finished both my Expository English Peer Review assignment, as well as my extra credit handout for Methods of Sociology. I feel very accomplished seeing as it only took me 3 WEEKS to figure out the difference between Causal and Non-Causal hypothesis (and no I will not [...]

Oh snap! This is a new step for me… I just want to introduce myself to all of you who choose to read this here blog! My name is Reba, and I am part of the 2012 graduating class. I have many roles on campus, and over time you’ll see the many faces of this international [...]
