From Gambrell to G

Posted on December 17, 2018February 7, 2020

G203 has been a blast thus far! This past semester I moved into the apartments for the first time and it has been awesome! After living in a dorm room for the first two years at Furman an apartment has been a nice upgrade. My residence last year of Gambrell Hall was great but North…

Study Spaces

Posted on December 7, 2018February 7, 2020

I like to study in a couple of places on campus. My go-to is studying in my apartment on the living room couch or in my bed. I think best when I am comfortable with some good smelling candles and a blanket! When I have a heavier workload, I like studying in classrooms in the…

Posted on November 7, 2018February 7, 2020

For my entire first semester of freshman year, I strongly debated whether I wanted to be in a sorority during my college years. I went back and forth with my parents about going through sorority recruitment. All of my friends were set on going Greek–they even registered for recruitment in the first week of classes….

Major Decisions

Posted on October 25, 2018February 7, 2020

For many, deciding upon their college major seems like the biggest decision they have to make. For others, there is no decision to be made because of already knowing what they want to study. In my case, I knew what I was going to major in before I even came to Furman. I was set…

Home is Where the People Are

Posted on October 19, 2018February 7, 2020

In the wise words of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, “home is wherever I’m with you.” This is true for me because of all the amazing people I have grown to love since being at Furman. To me, the defining characteristic of a home is the people that fill it. Other than the people…

Mom, I Have a Feeling We’re Not at Furman anymore…

Posted on October 12, 2018February 7, 2020

*answers a phone call from mom* “Don’t worry mom, I am only a couple hours from campus. I am just whitewater rafting, I’ll call you later!” Greenville is a great place to explore but there are a few surrounding cities that offer great adventures and experiences! For those who like an outdoor adventure, I recommend…
