Miller Interview Day 2012

This past weekend was the Interview Day for the class of 2017 Miller Scholars.  Gosh, that seems like so long from now!  But at the same time, I am already almost half way done with college.  I'll be a JUNIOR by the time this class starts college in the fall!  Time really does fly, just like they say!

For me, Interview Days are much more exciting now that I am not being interviewed anymore.  I enjoy being a host rather than an interviewee.  We spent most of the day with the prospective students, guiding them to their interviews, getting to know them, and sharing our experiences with them.

There were several student panels for both prospective students and their parents.  I was actually on a study abroad panel for the students. This was truly an enjoyable experience for me, since I got to talk about my trip to Europe last summer.  The only downside was that it made me want to go back again!  Every time I look at my pictures or reread my blog posts from last summer, it makes me miss Europe very much.  Hopefully, I’ll one day have an opportunity to return.

I thoroughly enjoyed Interview Day, especially getting to know my student.  I am looking forward to meeting our next class of Miller Scholars in the fall!

P.S. It’s not too late to apply for the Miller HONORS Program – deadline is March 1^st!  Apply Here!

STOMP!

A couple weekends ago, I had the privilege of attending a performance of STOMP at Ball State’s Emens Auditorium.  It was such an incredible performance!  I was expecting the show to be good, with clever routines and great rhythms.  It definitely delivered on all of those aspects, but also on humor too!  It was a show without speech, but still had hilarious antics by the performers.

Shows like this are some of the benefits of being a college student.  Just in the last year and a half, I have seen major shows like The Color Purple, Legally Blonde, Beauty and the Beast, and STOMP.  My friends have even been to concerts like Skillet and Luke Bryan.  All on a student’s budget!  Check out Emens Auditorium’s website for more information about upcoming shows and concerts.
