| Spirit Week!!! |
It has been a fantastic first month of school! September is a busy month at USM. One of the best parts of September is Homecoming and the dress up Spirit Week dress up days. My favorite day, aside from pajama day, was “Preps, Nerds and Greasers”. My friends and I had a blast dressing up as 1960s Greasers, along with the majority of the Upper School. Besides going to Homecoming, competing in JV Tennis matches, and watching late night soccer and football games, I also enjoyed going on the junior college trips.
I was on Trip B, which visited to Loyola University Chicago, University of Chicago, Beloit College, and University of Madison. While I did enjoy certain aspects of each individual university or college, like the large, urban feel of UW-Madison and the “Hogwarts-like” and Gothic atmosphere of the University of Chicago, I was also able to identify facets that I didn’t like as much, which is just as important when looking into colleges. We even got to see a few USM alumni, who told us a bit about their college experience so far.
I found the tours and information sessions very helpful. I have always wanted to go to a school outside of the Midwest. After visiting the colleges, I gained a better understanding of certain qualities and programs schools have to offer, and which kinds of universities or colleges may work for me. Of course, this is only the beginning of the grueling college process, but I am excited, and am looking forward to take the next steps towards my education.
