I dropped, and it's going to be OK

 

Sunday, Jan. 31 concluded the chaotic and tumultuous week that is recruitment. When I first came to Elon, never would I have thought I would be a participant in Greek Life recruitment. But, as I got to know women in various organizations, I realized that all the stereotypes I had established in my mind were wrong. The girls involved in these organizations were nothing like I had seen in “House Bunny” or “Legally Blonde” (although I wouldn’t mind if there were some more people like Elle Woods in the world). Over the past week, I had some of the most amazing conversations with genuinely down-to-earth women on topics ranging from TV shows and the Franco brothers to how different cultures interact and communicate with each other.

Elon University is ranked No. 1 for its study abroad program by the International Educational Institute and is one of the top 10 most globally-minded universities according to the Christian Science Monitor.

Engage in service during Winter Term

 

For many, Winter Term is a time of leisure. Students are only in class for three hours a day, most organizations are not holding meetings, and in general, free time is excessive.  Instead of using this time to catch up on shows on Netflix or taking three naps a day, use this invaluable free time to learn more about your peers, your community, and yourself by engaging in service.  High involvement in service learning and community engagement is something Elon University has always strived for.

Studying abroad wasn't the best time of my life

By Janat Bashir

I know what you’re thinking. If, after four months in a beautiful and foreign continent, these are my overarching sentiments, then I clearly did the whole study-abroad thing wrong or I didn’t try hard enough.  It took me a long time to come to terms with the fact that I wasn’t having “the best time of my life” during an experience many college kids would describe as “the best times of their lives.” I experienced a lot of mental anguish simply over the fact that I wasn’t enjoying myself the way I hoped I would or the way I saw others enjoying themselves.
