Finals

I can't believe it's the week before finals of my SECOND semester... I would believe it if I was just finishing up my first semester, but this year has literally FLOWN BY!

I've gotten so much accomplished and learned a lot this year. I've made some great new friends, and have gotten pretty much every illness you can imagine. I've studied more and pushed myself harder than I ever thought possible...

And I've had a GREAT time doing it.

Now I'm sitting at my cubicle in the library starting to delve into all the material that we have covered over this past four months. Slowly I'm starting to become nostalgic of my freshman year, and I'm coming to realize that I'm going to miss Miami over the summer.

Within the next week I'll have to say goodbye to all of my newly formed friends... I'll have to take one last jog at the rec... and stuff one last piece of carrot cake and a warm cookie in my mouth.

This summer is four months, and I'm certain by the time that it is over... I'm going to be ready to take sophomore year by storm!!

Sophomore Room Selection

Steps to Sophomore Year Housing:

1. Figure out what sort of room you want to live in (single, double, triple, quad, or apartment style)

• Miami offers a bunch of great options which make living on campus sophomore year hassle free. If you are in a sorority or fraternity you live in the sorority dorms or in the fraternity house. If you are not Greek you have your choice of living in the dorms or there are Heritage Commons which are apartment style on campus living.

2. Pick a roommate/roommates

• By this time in your freshman year you will have met so many people! I'm so excited to live with my roommate next year. Kori and I get along so well, and we can't wait to be rooming together. She lives in a different dorm, but since we've met we have spent so much time together... it is going to be so nice to have her sitting on the bed right next to mine!

3. Sign online on a specific day to receive your lottery number

• We were sent an e-mail reminder to sign onto our mymiami page between April 5 and April 9 and "pop a balloon" to receive our lottery number.

4. On the day of room assigning sign in at your time and bid on your room

• Room assigning day was April 14, and the time that we received from popping our balloon was the time we could sign online and pick a room. Kori and I spent an entire day walking around campus to all the different dorms to check out the room layouts. It was really nice that we have the option to choose which dorm we wanted to live in. Watch out sophomore year here we come!!!

It's HERE!

As temperatures break records... hundreds of Miami students scurry to Shriver for something....

No... it's not to sunbathe, no... it's not to purchase tickets to Kid Cudi (that was last week!)

Miami hockey is playing in the final four! Miami is even offering bus passes up to the game in Detroit for only $15!

However, for all those students who have classes, or cannot afford the $189 ticket into the game Campus Activities Council is offering a exciting alternative!

"The Road to Victory, Frozen Four" party takes place on Central Quad starting right when the game starts, 8:30 p.m. A huge tv screen will be placed for viewing pleasure! Not only will there be a screen, but Miami Concessions will be available for a little snack!

Just another exciting week on Miami's campus!! Oh... GO REDHAWKS!!!
