This just in:
I am extremely organized. With that being said I love love love to use my planner! The title of this post is because I just wrote the academic calendar into my new planner for my senior year. As I was writing "Graduation Day" in, it has not hit me that in less than a year I will be graduating from the 'Hurst....I wonder what I will think on that day! Surely by then it will seem extremely real!
Next up is a post about summer orientation!
For now - you too can mark your calendars: Sunday, May 20, 2012 Mercyhurst College Commencement!

It doesn't seem real yet!

How I'm Spending My Summer
My LAST summer working at Mercyhurst has officially begun. I have been working at the 'Hurst every summer since my freshman year, thus making this my third year.
I am working in both the Admissions department and the Center for Student Engagement and Leadership Development. I am already loving both jobs and I think this is a great way to spend my senior year summer!
Here's the run down on both jobs:
Admissions department: This is my third summer working here! I am finally the oldest student in the office which is pretty cool too, because my very first summer here I was referred to as the "baby!"
While working in Admissions I get to do one of my favorite things which is to show off the school that I love so much by giving tours. I still need to get used to saying "Hello, my name is Lindsay, I am a SENIOR."
I love the staff that I work with as well as the other students that I work with. Rhona, Kaleigh and Nick all worked here last year and we have one new worker- Jeremy. We made him give the first tour as a new-kid initiation!
For those of you looking to have a tour of Mercyhurst, feel free to schedule a tour by calling the office at 814-824-2202.
Center for Student Engagement and Leadership Development: I am the Student Chair for Summer Orientation and Welcome Week and I love this position. I feel as if my two jobs really work together because I give tours, which bring students to Mercyhurst and then as the student chair, I get to see the students that I gave tours to because they made the right decision to come to Mercyhurst!
I am working with the assistant chair, Richard and another student, Isaac as well as the staff from the department and we always have a great time. We are currently preparing for our first summer orientation which is this Friday - we are very excited to see all of the freshmen!
I bring my camera with me to work every day because I want to catch every memory of my last summer here!
Until next time- Carpe Diem!

"Look at this photograph, everytime I do, it makes me laugh" - A year in review!
Check out some of my favorite memories of junior year. I chose a picture from each month of school. I could have put a million pictures on, but these are the ones that made the cut!
June - Hanging out downtown with summer work friends at "8 Great Tuesdays" a free concert series throughout the summer!
July - Welcoming the freshmen to Mercyhurst with the Laker Leaders at summer orientation!
August - Hanging out at Presque Isle, watching one of Erie's beautiful sunsets and relaxing before the school year begins!
September - Back to school, enjoying an evening with friends and roommates in Garvey Park for the annual Fall Ball!
October - celebrating my 21st birthday with friends!
November - Hanging out in the townhouse, acting crazy, procrastinating...but still getting everything done!
December - Celebrating Christmas with the Ambassador club and sporting an "ugly sweater" for the ugly sweater competition!
January - Cheering on the Lakers at a Mercyhurst vs. Gannon game and meeting and mingling with Mercyhurst alumni!
February - Hanging out with friends, taking a midnight study break to go to Mighty Fine doughnuts!
March - getting inducted as Ambassador Club President for my senior year - one of my favorite accomplishments of the year!
April - Winning an award for my research paper with fellow researchers in Washington D.C.
May- Celebrating the end of the year at Springfest. A concert with The Plain White T's and a carnival/luau- a great way to kick off summer!
Wow did junior year go back quickly! I am truly blessed with the greatest of friends, the smartest of teachers, and the best of times!

Junior Year is Over - - How Can this be True!?
Now that I am finished with finals and a very long but exciting graduation weekend, I can sit back and reflect on the end of the term!
Finals week went really well! I did a lot of studying! I was so focused on studying that I didn't really have time to do much of anything else. I planned my finals week out perfectly so that each class was allotted enough study time. In the end it really paid off because I finished the term with a 4.0 and a 3.95 for the entire school year!
As I finished up my last final, I literally could not believe that I had just completed three full years of college. I immediately texted my mom and dad saying "holy crap I'm a senior in college!" this was pretty much the way that I felt and the best way I could describe it! I am a little overwhelmed because I really do not want to be a senior because that means I am one step closer to leaving the 'Hurst. For me, being a senior will just give me even more of a reason to follow Mercyhurst's motto of "Carpe Diem" - Seize the Day!
This past weekend was graduation weekend! Congratulations to all of the seniors on your wonderful accomplishments! Graduation weekend was filled with so many fun events - I was able to participate in a few because the Ambassadors worked at all of them. On Friday we were greeters for the awards dinner, Saturday was the adult and graduate graduation followed by an alumni reception and the ROTC ceremony. Finally, Sunday was the end with graduation day. We were lucky to have such beautiful weather that allowed for our graduates to have a sunny walk from the Avalon Hotel to the Tullio Arena in downtown Erie for the ceremony.
Now that school is over and so is graduation, I have a few days filled with relaxation before my summer job starts up! Until then - Carpe Diem!

The Unveiling of the 'Hurst Book
Many of my posts have discussed a club that I am involved in which is the Student Alumni Association. Since October, a small group of us that makes up the original SAA at Mercyhurst has been working on creating the 'Hurst book. The 'Hurst book is a book that the Alumni department will sponsor to be given to all incoming freshmen. Inside of it we have information on basically everything available at Mercyhurst, including a bit of history and traditions, which we hold in high esteem here! My favorite part of the book is a "bucket list" which lists different annual events that we have here at Mercyhurst that we as a group believe students MUST DO before graduating.
This past week we had a ceremony in the student union and we were so happy that a lot of people from the school showed up to see different pieces of the 'Hurst book that our advisor had printed and blown up on larger sheets of paper to be displayed. I can't wait to see the final, printed copy and I look forward to seeing the freshmen get a copy of it!!

| SAA members and all alumni who attended the event! |
 |
| Here's some of the pages on display The layout of the pages offer a picture and a description along with a space for students to place their own pictures. When they complete it, they will first and foremost lived through the Mercyhurst experience and they will also have a keepsake and a scrapbook that they can save after they graduate as they become Mercyhurst alumni. |

| The seniors! We will miss them :( |

| Our two freshmen! |

I don't know where time goes, but it sure goes fast!
Today I registered for my classes for my SENIOR YEAR OF COLLEGE.
I cannot begin to explain how crazy of a feeling this is!
We only have two weeks of classes left and then finals week! In years past I have usually started packing things up and taking them home little by little. I cannot bring myself to do that this year. The mere thought of having this year end, leaving my roommates, leaving my comfortable and fun townhouse and beginning my last summer working here at the 'Hurst is just so sad. FYI, if this is how I am feeling during my junior year, this time next year I am literally going to be a wreck!
However, what an amazing thing to be dealing with! My wish for all of those students about to end their senior year of high school and begin college is that in four years from now you are feeling just like me. I hope you dread the thought of leaving the friends that turned out to be some of the best friends in the entire world, the college that became your home and the people there that became your family. Even though thinking about leaving this amazing college life behind me is something that is so scary and terrible to think about, I know that I am so lucky to be feeling this way because college has turned out so wonderful for me.
Classes are going really well, pretty soon it will be time to start studying for finals.
Here's a quick recap of how things are going:
Communication in Society with Mr. Lebec- great class! The tests are a bit tricky, you definitely need to stay up on the class readings. I love the material in the class and my teacher brings in guest speakers who are specialists in the fields that we are learning about which adds more to the class.
International Organizational Behavior with Mr. Zohos - I am really enjoying this class, we have been learning a lot about how business is conducted in countries other than the U.S. It's definitely important to know about the customs and norms of other cultures so that if you need to conduct business, you'll know just what to do!
Operations Management with Mr. McAuley - this class has been interesting. It is a lot of mathematical equations and I really do not like math! I have been putting in a lot of outside study time and work for this class so I am hoping that it all pays off!
Labor/Management Relations with Dr. Swanson - this class has been really cool, my dad is in a labor union so I came into the class knowing a lot about unions but it's really good to learn how to be a good manager and leader when dealing with unions. If I ever end up being a manager in a company with a union, I will definitely work hard to make things fair for the union workers!
Wish me luck as finals quickly approach...after that is...SUMMER!!
