As I mentioned on Saturday, our new student bloggers will be introducing themselves this week in this space as their own blog pages are created. Here's Kaitlin...

Nice to Meet You!

Hello everyone! I am really excited to share my freshman year experience here at PC. First off, let me introduce myself. I’m Kaitlin Searfoss and I’m from Norwood, MA, just south of Boston. I am 18 years old, I am an English major/writing minor and I am in the Liberal Arts Honors Program. I live in Raymond Hall (right above the dining hall) with two great roommates!

How did I become interested in PC? My sister is a senior here and I had a lot of opportunities to visit her and attend some of her classes. I loved the campus and really enjoyed my tour. All in all, it was a tough decision, but I'm so glad I ended up here!

During high school, I did a lot. I spent my years at Norwood High in sports and clubs. I was on the soccer team all four years, as well as the spring track team. I ran long distance and threw the discus and the javelin my senior year. I was a member of my high school's SADD chapter, the Post Prom Party Committee (a group that plans the party at our local civic center for after the prom) the National Honors Society, and the National French Honors Society. I played the clarinet in my high school's wind ensemble and often volunteered for the concert band and orchestra. My senior year, I participated in two plays: Scrooge, the Musical and Romeo and Juliet. While at PC, I'd like to get involved in the literary magazine, the Alembic. I also might try my hand at intramural sports. We'll see what happens after I attend the Involvement Fair!

More to come on moving in, classes, and the happenings of PC...Feel free to ask questions, and I hope you can learn a lot about the college experience here at Providence!
