Fall Finals 2012

Hello everyone!

It's that dreaded time of the year again, finals... Not much has been happening this past week at the 'Hurst. A lot of studious Lakers have been filling the library. Though the best part of this week is that we have three days of finals, and then we are on break for the Thanksgiving holiday!

My study material in the library computer lab

Most of my group papers are coming together, and I have been studying like crazy. I will be able to breathe so much easier once this term has ended.

I have a client in my Advertising Branding and Strategy class that we are presenting to, along with our final. We helped them create a name, logo, marketing campaign, and packaging design. I hope they'll love it! After the project is complete, and everything has been considered by the company, maybe I can show you what it is... but until then they've asked us to keep it on the down-low. That is something unique about the professors at Mercyhurst, they get random portfolio building projects like these for students to try and end up really exceeding.

Another monumental aspect of this past week is that I have completed my internship in the Marketing and PR Department. I finished my 200 hours, wrote my reflection paper, and had a wonderful experience. The department must have liked me too, because they offered me a part-time position to keep me around!

Well, that's all for now... Back to studying.
Thanks for reading :)

Finals, Food, and Fun!

Finals, food, and fun? Crazy right? You're probably thinking that those are three words college students would never associate together... unless you're on Mercyhurst's campus!


Mercyhurst's Student Activities Council puts this event on once a term, which is three times a year. Food for Finals was a huge hit this past term, like always! We had a long line of students waiting for snacks, chicken wings, pizza, and donuts. Check out the back of my car once it was all packed up with food for the event – and that wasn't even with the pizza, wings, or donuts!

We also had a Spa and Relaxation Day the Friday before finals. From 12 to 4 p.m. students were invited to come out for a day of spinal relaxers, massage chairs, and an oxygen bar. A bunch of students showed up ready to take a break from their studies and relax with SAC. Though every station was full from start to end of the event, the massage chairs were definitely the most popular attraction, and my personal favorite too!

It was truly a great start to finals week, followed by a wonderful Thanksgiving Break at home... But I'm happy to be back on campus to help provide fun weekend activities for Mercyhurst Lakers to enjoy before our Holiday Break!

Ciao for now – I'll be back really soon to post about some other events that have happened on campus!
