So here you are. And here we are. With everything you ever wanted to know about college, and then some. So whatever it is you’re curious about (school-related, please) ask away. Or search for it. Because here, you’ll hear it all first-hand from a group of us just living the dream. Welcome.
Dr. Gregerson, an associate professor of biology, announced late last semester that he had accepted a position at a college in Savannah, GA and would begin teaching there this fall. Ask anyone and they’ll agree with you….Dr. Gregerson left some big shoes to fill. He taught classes like Genetics and Molecular Biology and was the pre-med advisor. Oh yes, and he was named Arkansas Professor of the Year…..twice. That should give some insight regarding the quality of his teaching.
At the beginning of May, it seems like we can’t get away from school soon enough. But after a few weeks back at home with the parents, we’re left with a longing for Lyon…we don’t miss the classes but miss the people and sense of independence that we’ve grown accustomed to.
Wow, summer went and got really busy really fast. After getting back from the Bahamas at the end of May (post coming soon about that), I’ve had to get into the full swing of 9-5 office work. Yeah not quite as good as sailing in the office, but it’s been really interesting all the same.
One of the hardest, but also one of the most important, decisions that you’ll ever make is what college to attend after high school. During the junior year of high school, the mailbox overflows with pamphlets and brochures from colleges….some sound interesting and some get immediately tossed in the trash. If it’s a college that you don’t know much about, it’s good to do a little bit of homework-find out things like what degrees are offered, the faculty to student ratio, things that make the college unique, tuition rates, and the application process. If, after evaluating those factors, you’re still impressed, schedule a campus visit or attend a preview day.

SendEvery time I move, I’m amazed by the amount of stuff that can fit into such a tiny space. Things tend to accumulate over the school year and when it’s time to move out, there’s about three times as much stuff as when the year began.
