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.
No, not me! I’m a very studious Lyon student. (Trust me, my GPA shows it…sometimes)
Let me tell you…I love to read! I cannot count how many books I’ve read in my lifetime. However, for some reason I have to fight with myself internally every time I have to read for a class. Assigned reading just turns me off completely. It’s like if I see a book on a shelf in a store, it would be very interesting to read. But when I have to pay hundreds of dollars for used books that are going to determine grades…I’m completely disinterested.
It’s over! Valentine’s Day officially ended about 30 minutes ago. While some people may hate this very commercialized holiday, I particularly enjoyed it this year. See, I wasn’t expecting much at all. I had to work tonight, and my boyfriend and I decided a few weeks ago to forgo gift exchange. But after work, I was delighted to learn that my boyfriend not only wanted to take me out to dinner, he also wanted to go see a new movie! This was definitely a treat. We get so busy with school and all that most of the time we just end up hanging around campus and not going on a “real date.”

So it is officially my last semester at Lyon College. While I am not 100 % sure I want to leave everyone I’ve meet here behind, I am ready for a change. The biggest change that I want to happen is living somewhere besides a dorm. Dorms serve their purpose but they get a little old after a while. I’ve figured out that the trick is to stay out of them for as long as possible. Spend all your time elsewhere. Another change that I am looking foward to is having my own parking space. The parking area for Young House leaves something to be desired. If you get lucky you can get a spot in the lower lot which isn’t far from the dorms but the not so lucky have to park in what is called the Way-Out-There Lot (also known as the WOT Lot). I am ready for my own parking spot that is close to my house/apartment/wherever I live. I am ready for a house but I don’t have the money for a house. I am going to grad school next year so I doubt the whole house thing will happen anytime soon anyways…

Although I cannot claim to be good at it, I love to swim. So I was very excited to hear when I was a prospective student that Lyon has an Olympic-sized pool. When I arrived on campus, however, I was astounded to figure out that there was no swim team.
It’s about time for the Lyon website to get a little makeover. I’m on a committee that’s evaluating the current website and considering different proposals for the re-design. Here’s a few questions for you: What do you think of the current website, http://www.lyon.edu/? What aspects do you like? Are there things that you absolutely hate? What types of elements would you enjoy seeing incorporated into the re-design?
