Hello, Junior Year! Hello, again, blogging community!  Read more...

I am sad to report that this is my last blog of the school year, readers. I have half a college degree, when did that happen?! I finished three final papers and one written music theory test earlier this week, thus beginning my summer as early as possible. I can honestly say that I have not learned more in one academic year than I have this year, though I have also never been as burnt out on school as I am now. These days between school and home will be cherished, no doubt.  Read more...

I returned to Luther a few days ago after a weekend of planning in New Orleans for the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America National Youth Gathering!  Read more...

This week I will finish my biggest college paper to date.  Read more...

Hello, readers! I was just calculating it and I haven’t been at Luther for more than two weeks in a row since the beginning of March! Because spring break and Easter break were so close, Luther had two four day weeks of school. Then, this past weekend, I went on another Outreach Outing. This was a longer, more intensely planned event centering around the 30-Hour Famine. This event calls for youth to fast for 30 hours, bringing awareness to the millions who are chronically hungry in this world.  Read more...

This weekend I had the privilege to see a production of Damn Yankees, a lively play set mid-century. As part of the Center Stage Series, students can see this production for free (with payment of their student activities fee). Many of my friends and I attended and we were not disappointed!  Read more...

Hello, readers! What a beautiful day to be writing. Not only has the vibrancy returned to Luther’s luscious lawn, but Symphony’s Spring Break Tour Homecoming Concert was this evening. After 8 concerts in 9 days, traveling through 6 states and performing in 4 of them, everyone was glad to leave the bus but not the experience. Southern hospitality is a cliche for a reason!  Read more...

Apologies for the lack of bloggage in the last month. Life has taken over. It has been beautiful, but busy. February was a blur, but if the calendar says it is March and the thermometer says it is 60 degrees, I am not questioning!  Read more...

Sometimes college can put me in a daze.  Read more...

Week two of spring semester and I’ve read more texts, listened to more music and practiced more than I thought I could. My classes are still just as interesting as they were the last time I wrote, but I’ll focus on the musical aspects of my activities for this post.  Read more...

    Here I sit in an overflowing Oneota Market, listening to other Luther students reuniting with friends after J-Term, exchanging stories of adventures that accrued throughout the month. I have already heard most of the happenings from my two roommates’ adventures, and had a few days off to prepare for spring semester which started last week.  Read more...

    The one year anniversary of LCSO’s grand concert in the Vienna Konzerthaus has me reminiscing about Vienna more than ever with my roommate who has recently returned from Europe. Trading stories back and forth, I can’t help but be thankful for my experience and I still vow to go back someday. Ok, reminiscing over.  Read more...
