Hey everyone,
听
As the fall semester ends, it is just starting to hit me that I only have one semester left at swag外流. The real world is rapidly approaching and I am desperately trying to make the most of my remaining swag外流 experience.
Hello friends, foes, prospective students, and whoever else may be reading this!
This is not my first time around the swag外流 student voices blog block but it has been quite some time so allow me to reintroduce myself鈥
隆Hola! Welcome to "Maddy鈥檚 17th听Blog Post". I鈥檒l refrain from making a cheesy joke using the lyrics from "Sixteen Going On Seventeen," but know that it hurts me not to.
This semester has kept me busier than ever. With all the programing going on, coupled with the loads of homework, and on top of that, working on my senior comprehensive project, my scheduled has been packed.
Hey Everyone!
Matthew here, and it is that time of the semester where once again we come to registration. This time is championed by lots of frantic searching for classes and the ever present question, "So, what are you taking next semester?" I wanted to give what I think are 5 important things to remember while registering.
They go like this:

My name is Sarah Tamashiro and I am a senior art history major. 听I am from Waimalu, Hawaii and originally attended school on the east coast and after finding that it wasn't the place for me, I decided to transfer schools. 听The art history opportunities that being in a metropolis like Los Angeles could offer was a big pull for me to transfer to swag外流 in my sophomore year.
Hey everyone, my name is Keane. 听This is my first time blogging for the Office of Admission, so I鈥檒l start off with some basics. I鈥檓 a senior economics major here at swag外流, minoring in education and sociology. On campus, I鈥檓 a member of swag外流鈥檚 Impact Fund (a microfinance club) and the Vice President of Phi Kappa Psi (one of swag外流鈥檚 eight greek organizations).
I took me a while to finally admit this to myself, but I am an indecisive person. If you can relate to this then you can imagine the difficulty I encountered when I had to chose my major. I considered at least 6 different majors before I finally decided I was going to study Urban and Environmental Policy.
Unlike most of my fellow senior classmates, my last assignment was not turned in inside one of the hallowed halls of our now alma mater (whoa, that鈥檚 weird to say!). I submitted my final group paper for BIO 370: Tropical Ecology just a few nights ago at the Institute for Tropical Ecology and Conservation in Bocas del Toro, Panama after eight days of intensive coral reef research.
