Nipissing Blog! January 11th 2010

Hello fellow Nipissing Univeristy Students

Today is the first of many entries that I am going to be posting over the course of the next few months for the blog contest at Nipissing University

There are probably a lot better things that I can be doing with my time, like maybe paying attention during Stan Lawlor's Sociology Class, or maybe preparing for Floor Rep Training on sunday the 17th or even...dare I say it?....studying..All I know is that this is a great way to break away from school and stuff.

So what is going on here at Nipissing for me?
I just applied to be a Residence Don, which is very exciting to me. I submitted my application on thursday and am PATIENTLY waiting (and hoping) for an email from the selection committee stating that I have made it to the Don Carousel, which would be awesome for me, such an honour.

Then tonight I am meeting with Trina Prince and the NUSU Street team for our first meeting of the new year which I am pumped about.

In all honesty this school is such a great environment and there are so many oppurtunities to reach out and meet new people around every corner! Since coming to nipissing for the first time this year, i have joined Students on Stage, NUSU Street Team, NUSA (Nipissing Student Ambassadors), Residence Council, Residence Social Council and a floor Rep for Chancellors House!

That brings me to another point. Residence. Residence here at Nip is just fantastic. From my experiences the Dons are all great people and easy to talk to and make the environment all the more enjoyable to live in. Not only the dons but the VP's for Reisdence Council work so hard to make sure that us residents have the most enjoyable time. I recently attended Live From Saturday Night at Founders House which was just a great time. Rock Band, Karaoke, Friendship Bracelets, Fondu, Chips, Juice and DISNEY SCENE IT! Oh jeez, that was a great night

Well before I start to ramble here is the just of it. I want to win this contest, so I have set an alarm on my iphone for every day at 3:30pm EST I will update this blog and keep you guys updated on what is going on here at NU.!

P.S There is a man selling crazy fun hats in the education center in front of PALS. The hats are shaped like monkeys, they are epic win
