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 [...]
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 [...]
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 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 [...]
So, this is a moderately embarrassing admission, but last Friday my friends and I had a two hour lunch in the Great Room. And I enjoyed every second of it. This habit is two-fold; I love my friends and we all love the food in the Great Room. It started normally enough, meeting at 11:15, [...]

Both plays were written by Athol Fugard, a leading voice in South African theater, and were being revived in honor of his 80th birthday. The plays, “Blood Knot” and “The Road to Mecca” were incredibly [...]
This weekend was Relay for Life at St. Mary’s! It was so much fun. I was team Captain of the ODK Honor Society team. For our event fundraisers, we did purple hair streaks, sold purple gatorade and snacks, and did a raffle of a coffee and tea goods basket (our team color was purple). I [...]
I took pictures of Men’s basketball for school paper last week. Shooting sports is so much fun! I definitely think photography will be a hobby I continue throughout my life. I’ve always considered attempting freelance photography throughout grad school. Check out other Point News photos here!
Senior Cocktail Party!!! It was so fun! The senior class had a fundraiser this past Friday to raise money for Gala (basically St. Mary’s prom, but so much better) and Senior Week, which is a week of fun, and the last hoorah, for seniors that takes place between the end of exams and graduation. Much [...]
I can’t believe it, one more class tonight at 6:00 and then I will have completed my first week of my last semester at St. Mary’s ☹!!!! Despite the fact that I refuse to admit that this journey will ever come to an end and that my friends and I refuse to speak the “g-word”, [...]
Read the rest of It hurts me to admit it’s my last semester…
