20th Birthday/Pre-Finals Week

Time flies! I'm twenty years old and fall semester is almost over!!!

For my birthday, I went to dinner at Casa Guadalajara in Old Town with some friends. My birthday was on the last day of classes for the fall semester. My friends and I definitely wanted a fun night before we our dreaded finals! Here's some photos from the night:

I love my finals week schedule. Somehow I ended up having one final per day which is really nice! Our finals week is from December 16th - 22nd. Our last day of class was the 14th, and we have the 15th as our "study day." I love having a study day because we don't go straight from last day of class to the first day of finals. It also gives us some time to de-stress and take a deep breath before practically moving into the library. This year I think I spent almost every night studying at the library until 4:00 a.m! So thankful for caffeine! Here's a photo from the "Harry Potter Room" at the Copley Library:

Well I should get back to studying!

Founders Club at Nazareth House - Part Two

As I've mentioned in my last blog, Founders Club went to bring the Christmas cards we made and sang Christmas Carols at the Nazareth House. Several of us came out and we had tons of fun! We were able to meet more of the senior residents at Nazareth House and also their families who attended their Christmas Party. I'm definitely looking forward to more events next semester!

Founders Club at Nazareth House

Community service and volunteering is an important part of my life. Every since I was young, I have always been really passionate about helping others. One of the reasons why I decided to attend USD was because of the immense amount of opportunities for service projects and community service activities. There are tons of community service clubs on campus - Invisible Children, STAND, Romero Center, University Ministry, and more!

One that I am the most involved in is USD's Founders Club where I am on the executive board as publicity/recruitment chair. An activity that we do at least every other week is spending a Saturday afternoon at Nazareth House with senior citizens. The last time we went, we played cards and board games with them. Everyone - both USD students and the senior citizens - had a great time and enjoyed themselves! I have been planning a Founders Club Christmas card making/holiday party, and it will be held this Thursday. We will be making Christmas cards for the senior citizens at Nazareth House while enjoying some pizza and yummy treats (pumpkin pie and holiday cookies!) We will be bringing the Christmas cards this Saturday when we go to the Nazareth House, and we will also be singing Christmas carols to them! I will be posting a blog about that with some pictures of course!
