My TCU Family

Posted  May 2, 2012  by  Kari B

First, I want to apologize that my blog posting has been non-existent this semester. Your last couple months your senior year are chaotic and absolutely fly by. I have been running around doing group projects, working at my internship, finishing my term as Finance Chair in SGA and interviewing for jobs. Needless to say, I [...]

Memories of Freshman Year

Posted  April 17, 2012  by  Emma B.

Memories of Freshman Year Well, I can’t believe it’s here. The final push to the end of the semester, and the end of my freshman year at TCU. I really don’t want to believe that my time in Milton Daniel as a freshman is coming to the end, because if all of college goes this [...]

As I have had the pleasure of enjoying Cultural Memory II this semester (and the anticipation of taking Cult. Memory I next semester) I can say without hesitation that my perception [...]

What 2 Do @ TCU

Posted  April 9, 2012  by  Jimmy S

In talking to perspective incoming TCU students, the one question I get asked the most is this: “What is there to do at TCU and in Fort Worth?” Everybody uses that exact same verbiage also. Anyways, I figured the easiest way to definitively tell everybody everything I have done is to list them. Here we [...]

Non-Traditional Pilgrimage

Posted  April 4, 2012  by  Guest

From guest blogger: Chelsea Low The traditional definition of pilgrimage is a journey to a sacred location of spiritual significance. However, I am among a group of TCU Honors students who will be exploring the idea of non-traditional pilgrimage through a trip to London, Paris, and Rome this summer; for example, ideas we may consider [...]

Spring Is in the Air!

Posted  March 13, 2012  by  Emma B.

Ah, Spring. Tulips outside every building at TCU, trees in bloom, sunshine, and what else? Oh, yes. Advising. The time that comes every semester and can bring a shiver down the spine if you aren’t prepared. Thankfully, being a part of the Honors College means having two advisors, so double the help when you need [...]

Young Americans for Freedom

Posted  March 13, 2012  by  Jennifer T

The connotation behind those four words sends anticipation through my veins! And rightfully so. It’s been on my mind… since my friend and I decided to start a new group on campus.

Experimenting with Anthrax at TCU

Posted  March 2, 2012  by  Renee R.

So what do those crazy science majors do with all free their time? Aside from traversing the illustrious hallways of Winton Scott or the dead-ended staircases inside the most confusing building on campus, Sid Richardson, some of us like to play with infectious diseases! Ok, so I’m not an explorer of all things mysterious… but [...]
