http://admissions.uconn.edu/blogs/2008/angela Thu, 05 Mar 2009 04:16:32 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Remember those days back in middle school when girls and boys had to be separated into different classrooms and were given the so-called "talk"? Oh, how we all enjoyed hearing those wildly awkward topics: puberty, safe sex, STDs, the list goes on. I've only recently begun to understand just how ... http://admissions.uconn.edu/blogs/2008/angela/?p=178 Safe to say, taking the MCAT wasn't as scary as I thought it was going to be, and I'm certainly glad it's over!! These last two weeks have been a matter of catching up on class work and activities which I had to put a slight hold on while I ... http://admissions.uconn.edu/blogs/2008/angela/?p=174 Well, it's just about two days until classes for the spring semester start up! Tomorrow, winter break is officially over and most students will be heading back--which means Storrs is coming back to life again! I'm very excited for the start of the new semester, because it not only means ... http://admissions.uconn.edu/blogs/2008/angela/?p=161 So I obviously can't keep myself locked away in my apartment without eventually yearning for some human contact, so I met up with my best friends Avani and Pratistha to catch up and exchange some late Christmas gifts. Avani's away in Philadelphia for most of the year but she was ... http://admissions.uconn.edu/blogs/2008/angela/?p=144 The winter break at UConn started about three weeks ago, as soon as finals ended, and there are still two and a half weeks left.

Thus far, I've ... http://admissions.uconn.edu/blogs/2008/angela/?p=147 I apologize for a long delay in blog posts, but I am finally back and with plenty of updates from the end of the fall semester. Where do I start? I spent the last few weeks of the fall studying visciously for finals while planning a major event for the ... http://admissions.uconn.edu/blogs/2008/angela/?p=133 I voted for the first time just about four hours ago. It took quite a lot of waiting--hours, in fact--but it was definitely worth the wait to submit my ballot. I'm sure that's how many other college students felt today, knowing that their votes were making a historic difference. Today is ... http://admissions.uconn.edu/blogs/2008/angela/?p=128 If there's one big thing that I always look forward to during the fall semester, it would definitely be the Lip Sync competition that takes place every year during Homecoming weekend. While most schools feature their own version of Lip Sync during their Homecoming, UConn goes all out for sure; ... http://admissions.uconn.edu/blogs/2008/angela/?p=123 With the first batch of midterms and papers over, Pratistha and I headed over to the Buckland Hills Mall in Manchester for a bit of very-needed shopping. It's been a while since both of us have visited this mall so we headed over to some of our favorite stores (H&M, ... http://admissions.uconn.edu/blogs/2008/angela/?p=116 After more than a month or so of being on campus, I finally decided it would be nice to drop in on the family and see how they were doing. My parents recently moved from shoreline Connecticut to Massachusetts to start new jobs in Boston. I was born in Boston, ... http://admissions.uconn.edu/blogs/2008/angela/?p=109
