How to Not Get Schooled by School

Posted on December 3, 2018February 7, 2020

Furman is a tough school, academically speaking. Especially when exams are next week and you thought you had at least two more weeks until those came around. unrelated GIF. Fortunately, tough and impossible are very different things. Over the course of my time at Furman, I’ve figured out a few reliable tricks which help keep…

Furman and the Future

Posted on November 28, 2018February 7, 2020

I like how, right after running the gauntlet of questions about my future at Thanksgiving, they want us to write about career services. Furman at times stoops to treachery such as this. when you realize Grandma’s about to hit you with the “so, are you seeing anybody?”  College is weird in many ways, and one…

Feed Me, Seymour!

Posted on November 12, 2018February 7, 2020

You could make a pretty solid argument to my entire college life being a build-up to me getting to talk to you about what the best places to eat at Furman are. I think a concern most people have when selecting colleges is the food. It sounds silly to bring up or ask about, but…

Freaks and Greeks

Posted on November 5, 2018February 7, 2020

My blog post titles are finally starting to be competitive with some of the other interns. Greek life is one of the places where I think you see the most disparity between expectations and reality. my favorite movie was getting a GIF at some point. Every college movie paints frat life as this insane, out-of-control…

Finding Your People At Furman

Posted on October 31, 2018February 7, 2020

My original plan for this post was to tell you that the only way you could possibly have a successful, thriving social life at Furman was if you tried out for Improv!able Cause and attended all of their shows. I have been informed this is “unethical” and “misleading”, which are big words The Man uses…

Major Problems

Posted on October 22, 2018February 7, 2020

I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to come up with some form of “Ground control to Major Tom” pun for the title of the “choosing your major” blog. Oh well. As a child, I assumed that figuring out my path in life would be a lot simpler and more straightforward.  This is entirely…

Potpourri

Posted on October 15, 2018February 7, 2020

When most people think of potpourri, they think of that weird flower stuff that’s sitting in the bathroom that you were expressly told not to eat as a child. Maybe that’s just me. Maybe other people were smart enough as kids to not be told to eat stuff they found in the bathroom. Who’s to…

A Tour Guide’s Guide to Guided Tours at Furman

Posted on October 12, 2018February 7, 2020

If you are reading this blog, you are either a high schooler who is interested in touring Furman, one of my many borderline-obsessed secret admirers, or someone who is just really passionate about admissions blogs. To that end, you’re probably thinking about Fall for Furman this weekend – and if you’re not, you’re wondering what…

Application Frenzy

Posted on October 5, 2018April 8, 2019

I’m going to say something that will go ahead and invalidate all the advice I’m about to give: I was not worried about my college application at all when I was in high school. I would like to say that his came from a place of Zen-like acceptance of my path in life, but I…

Family, or Families?

Posted on September 24, 2018July 7, 2019

A great philosopher from a faraway land once said, “Ohana means family. Family means no one gets left behind, or forgotten.”  Basically Socrates. I think that philosopher was pretty far off the mark, or at the very least, never saw the Home Alone movies. Going much deeper into this issue than the writers of Lilo and Stitch really intended, I…

“I visited colleges across the country, but some “I visited colleges across the country, but something about Furman resonated with me when it came time to make my big decision.  Aside from the stunning campus, its close proximity to the mountains and the famous chocolate chip cookies, I was drawn to the enthusiastic professors I met during my visit who conducted class in a casual and comfortable setting and the students who spoke about their school with such passion and excitement.  Furman provides that close-knit community people seek and classes that I look forward to attending with such incredible professors.” Ellie Morse, sophomore
