And So It Begins...

Welcome back everyone! It's incredible to think that I am starting my Senior Year here at Mount Aloysius. Just 3 years ago I moved into my first room in the Residence Hall, I ate my first meal in the Dining Hall, I went to my first college class, I played in my first Mounties soccer game, and I met some of the most incredible people I have ever known. In writing this blog, I am truly made aware that this is the beginning of the end.

For those of you who are new to the blog area of the MAC Website, welcome!! I hope these blogs keep you up-to-date with campus activities and the insight of a real college student. For those of you who are returning, I'm really happy to have you back. I can only hope that my Senior year is as eventful as my prior years.

Here is a snapshot of where I stand now and how I expect my Senior year to unfold: I'm taking 18 credits this semester, which will leave me with only 15 to finish up my final Spring semester at MAC. I'm playing in my final season for the Lady Mounties soccer team. I am President of the Student Government Association and have plenty of ideas and events to keep me busy for the year. I am now one of the Resident Assistants in the Misciagna Residence Hall, I turned 22 a few days ago, and my friends and I plan on making this the most incredible Senior year ever!!!

So, for now, I hope that gives you some idea of where I stand going into my Senior year.

Today is my last first day of school...

God Bless,

Laura
