A Rainy Day Calls for a Blog

October 4th, 2014 jhthom17

It’s a rainy Saturday here at HC, so what better to do than write another blog! So far this year has been fantastic. I’ve met some amazing new people and have been keeping myself very busy-I’m finding my second year to be much more challenging than my first. There’s a lot of work to be done, but nothing that can’t be managed.

I’ve been working a lot lately on The Crusader, as I am not only a co-editor anymore but also a copy editor. This position entails me coming in every week after articles have been placed to look over the opinions section to find small errors that haven’t been fixed. I also decided to go back to The Agency, the marketing and advertising club here at Holy Cross. I did an advertising internship during my senior year of high school and really enjoyed it so I figured it would make sense I take advantage of a club that centers around a potential career path of mine. That’s one thing I love about it here-you really can find just about anything you’re interested in when it comes to extra-curricular activities. As far as my work-study job, I have been loving it. Everyone at the bookstore is so nice and accommodating, it’s been wonderful working with the staff and being able to interact with my peers as they come in to purchase items.

School as I said has been difficult but not too overwhelming. I am admittedly a bit of a procrastinator and sometimes that really haunts me-be sure to stay on top of your work while you’re in college! Papers and exams are abundant right now for everyone, myself included but it’s ok! In just one week we will all be on our much needed fall break: one full week of rest and relaxation. I’m planning on staying home for the first half and then visiting my friend at NYU for the second half. I can’t wait to take a breather from school for a bit. Anyway, how are you all doing? I hope fall is treating everyone well and I’ll be sure to check back in with you very soon!
