Happy KISS Week!
No, I’m not talking about the rock band, Kiss, I’m talking about Keep It Safe & Sexy Week at Gustavus, an annually recognized week of awareness sponsored by the Peer Assistants (PA’s). The main gist of having KISS week is to help promote awareness and safety when it comes to romantic relationships. College is an […]
Tomorrow..
The other week I came upon a very enlightening article in Cosmo (yes Cosmo) about how Monday isn’t necessarily the “worst” day of the week, but it’s actually Wednesday, aka tomorrow. All I could think about when I read the article, besides my friend who lives across the hall giving me flack for reading that […]
Spring Semester… already?!
Yesterday marked the first day of spring semester here at Gustavus, and amidst all the snow we’ve been getting the rush was absolutely palpable with students running around frantically finding their classes, reconnecting with friends, purchasing books and extra school supplies… the typical first day of class excitement and mayhem all rolled into one. At […]
Middle Eastern Dance… in Minnesota?
You betcha! Every J-term the Peer Assistants have invited the Rakstar Fusion Belly Dancers’ artistic director/dancer Kamilah to come and teach a middle eastern dance class every Thursday night for an hour to any interested students. The Rakstar Fusion Belly Dancers are Southern Minnesota’s premier belly dancing group; not gonna lie, I had no idea […]
A very special Martin Luther King Jr. Day speaker…
Yesterday in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the Gustavus campus had the privilege of having the Reverend C.T. Vivian come to campus as a guest speaker. The Reverend isn’t just any public speaker; he was a close friend and colleague of Martin Luther King and went on to do a lot for the […]

Because most high school seniors have already applied to colleges most of the students that visit on […]
Oh the weather outside is frightful! Thank goodness the classes are delightful…
Yesterday Gusties here on campus and on the other side of the world kicked off January Interim Experience or more commonly referred to as J-term. All this month students, professors and faculty have the opportunity to engage in either teaching or learning in just one class. For those who wanted to escape the frigid winters […]
Home for the Holidays…
Anyone spending this holiday season in Minnesota who is still dreaming of a white Christmas obviously hasn’t seen a weather forecast recently! It’s predictions like the ones I just heard on the news about possibly a foot of snow that makes me wish I were standing on the hill at Gustavus, cafeteria tray in hand, surrounded […]
I survived my first Christmas in Christ Chapel!
Well, I did go to last years performance on Saturday afternoon with my family, but this was the first year that I had to opportunity to be a part of this wonderful Gustavus tradition! Not going to lie, after Thanksgiving break things got REALLY intense in the music department as the the Gustavus Choir, Choir […]
Ode to Thanksgiving…
Last year during my First Term Seminar on a dragging Tuesday morning my professor helped us all come to the conclusion that the week of school before Thanksgiving break is always the hardest. I hadn’t really realized it until then (probably because my brain wasn’t working optimally at the time) but it completely made sense. […]
