Jogging through St. Peter
Now normally I hate running outside and prefer the elliptical machines in Lund Center, but just this past year at Gustavus I’ve discovered that it’s actually a really nice change from the gym. Now that the snow is starting to melt I couldn’t resist throwing on my running shoes and jogging around the streets of […]
A table to remember…
At Gustavus various organizations on campus can be seen outside of the cafeteria advertising their latest endeavor, whether it’s fundraising or promoting an upcoming event, there’s always at least one group there. One tabling experience I had last year as a first year student was particularly memorable; I don’t exactly remember the group who did […]
Spring, it’s been much too long!
This morning as I walked from my dorm to my 9:00 class I was greeted by something I haven’t heard in a while, birds singing! These past few days have been so mild Gusties are gradually starting to shed their poofy winter coats in favor of hoodies and jackets, and in general spending more time […]
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 […]

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 […]
Come and Discover Gustavus on your day off!
Every year on Martin Luther King Jr. Day millions of high school students have the day off , and on this particular day the Gustavus Office of Admission host an event for high school students called, “Discover Gustavus”. 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 […]
