Right before Thanksgiving break, students choose classes for next semester. On Spire, you are given a time slot when you are available to enroll. This time is randomized, but varies depending on what year you are in and how many credits you have taken.
This past week, I spent a good chunk of my time exploring the Digital Media Lab (DML) on the 3rd floor of the W.E.B. Du Bois Library. If you are interested in creating music, podcasts, movies, or any type of multimedia content, this is the place for you!
One of the organizations I have the pleasure of being involved with on campus is called the Medical Reserve Corps, an organization that promotes civic responsibility and emergency preparedness. The MRC was founded at UMass Amherst in 2005 by the College of Nursing.
It’s a known fact that college costs a lot of money, no matter where you attend. A miscellaneous fee that is easy to discount is money spent on textbooks. Here is how I have saved money on textbooks for my classes!
Yesterday was my first time ever competing in an intramural basketball game at UMass. Actually, it was my first time competing in any basketball game since I was 8 years old.
The UMass Writing Center, located in the lower commons of the W. E. B. Du Bois Library, is a great place to go if you need proof-reading of any paper you have for a class!
If you live out-of-state like I do, along with 1/4 of the UMass population, traveling home for the holidays is a hectic time. Everyone is trying to figure out travel plans and what to pack.
This time of year is known for being pretty stressful for college students. The majority of students here at UMass just finished up their second wave of midterms this past week, and winter has set in. But the finish line is now in sight.
