Mini Golf in the Library
This past Friday, the Class of 2013 held a fundraising event: mini-golf in the Library. You’d be surprised at how much harder it is to play mini-golf in a library than at Old Pro [...]

Offshore Boat Maintenance
I thought, being from Massachusetts, that I had seen everything Mother Nature could throw at us, but nothing could have prepared me for the weather of Southern Maryland. Last week I wore shorts two days in a week, and today it snowed! I was actually kind of amused by the snow–we haven’t had any this [...]
Jobs, jobs, jobs!
As if senior year hasn’t flown by fast enough, I am up to my neck in job applications! I never could have guessed that applying for a job is actually a full time job in itself! I made it my goal at the beginning of the year that I will have a job before I [...]
Picnic at Point Lookout
I love this College and its immediate environs– they are the reason I chose to attend St. Mary’s. Sometimes, though, during a week of especially high stress, it’s nice to explore the natural beauty outside this campus. Last week proved to be ‘one of those weeks.’ My friends and I blew-off some steam by driving [...]
Life After Graduation…eeeeek
Last Thursday I had an hour-long conversation with my advisor, Joe Lucchesi of the Art History department, about life after graduation (since I’m a senior). Even saying that word gets my heart racing! I love new adventures, but there is something different this time! I am not worried about getting a job or eventually applying [...]

Hey everyone! This is my first blog! Very exciting. So today I went to the Chesapeake Shores Nursing Home which is a home for the elderly in town near the college. I get to go to the nursing home for credit for a 400 level psychology class. Today at the nursing home, I got to [...]
Trip to St. Mary’s County Government
Today my political science class visited the seat of St. Mary’s County government in Leonardtown, MD, just a couple miles down the road from the college. The class, called State and Local Politics, focuses specifically on Maryland Politics. A key component of the class is to experience different forms of local government in action. So [...]
St. Mary’s Day
So next Wednesday has been deemed “St. Mary’s Day.” It may sound like a day to celebrate the beautiful river, or our facilities, but in reality, we have been given a day off of classes to participate in a campus-wide discussion about how to make St. Mary’s a better community. Cool, huh? It really goes [...]
St. Mary’s Project
I am currently writing a St. Mary’s Project, which is basically a senior level thesis about a topic of the student’s choice. These yearlong projects are mostly independent but are guided by a mentor. For my SMP I decided to mix both of my majors, art history and political science, and research arts education policy [...]
Intramural Volleyball
Intramural volleyball just got very intense! Tonight was the first round of the playoffs and our opponent team included 2 varsity volleyball players and 2 math professors. It was a very close match but, unfortunately, we lost. Our knees and hips are bruised, but our pride is not. The second round is tomorrow night so [...]
