You may be thinking to yourself: why is this dude sitting down, writing a blog on a Friday evening when he could be out enjoying the start of the weekend? Thanks for asking! I decided to sit down and write a blog because I am currently in the Board Office of the College of Liberal Arts Student Governing Body waiting for undergraduate students to drop off their art work.

There is no greater feeling than volunteering at an event and leaving feeling like you really had an impact on others. The Experience MN event this year was one of the best yet!

Time, time, time. There's so little time! Papers, tests, projects, interviews, dates, concerts, meetings, lab time, class, eating, sleeping...it all takes time. I'm sitting here, just thinking about starting to apply for a summer human resources internship. THAT even takes time. It takes time to think about how little time we have. Such a dilemma...but that's life, eh?

It is currently November 7th and I am sitting in my apartment getting ready to go enjoy some time in the beautiful weather outside. Yes, I mentioned November and beautiful weather in the same sentence. Who said it has to be cold in Minnesota all the time?

There are plenty of opportunities to meet other students and create long-lasting friendships.
