Hello!
Thanksgiving is approaching and everyone here at Georgetown is looking forward to the break!
School has been hectic these past couple of weeks as last papers and projects are being assigned. The end is in sight and that is motivation for all of us to keep on going. It is crazy to me to see how fast this semester has flown by. I remember the first days of class, getting my syllabus and not knowing anyone in the class. Now we are in the final weeks and I look around and seem to know almost everyone in each of my classes. This semester has been a great one and I love how much I have progressed in writing, reading, and even study skills. Most importantly however I feel like this semester has helped me grow up and become a somewhat more mature adult.
With all the holidays the social scene has definitely been in full swing. There have been many parties and functions celebrating these holidays such as the Pilgrim and Indian party thrown here on campus by the Kappa Deltas. There is truly so much to do that I hate when I have to miss out for studying, but everyone knows that school comes first, and everyone is very supportive in helping you make studying and homework your top priority.
A few things that I am looking forward to:
First of all it would have to be Thanksgiving. A wonderful break from the stresses of school to spend time with family and watch football is definitely needed right about now. Not to mention the great food! Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays and I can’t wait to travel and see my family to celebrate.
Secondly I am looking forward to Georgetown’s traditional Hanging of the Green. I have never experienced this but everyone says it’s the perfect way to begin the Christmas season. It is the lighting of all the decorations across campus and a great community building event. Christmas is such a great time of year and I know it’s a special time on Georgetown’s campus as well. There are Christmas chapels and many festivities to celebrate the holidays. I will let you all know all about the events after I have participated in them! I can’t wait!
Lastly I am really looking forward to ending my first semester of my freshman year of college. I have had a wonderful time in these few months and that has reaffirmed my decision in choosing Georgetown as the right place for me. I have met SO many new people by living in Knight Hall, in my classes, through Freshman Family Group, and through the informal rush nights for all the sororities. I truly look forward to next year and all the great stuff it has in store for me. New classes, rush, and internships will keep me busy but that’s what college life is all about, the experiences.
Stay tuned to hear about all the holiday fun!

Fall Fun at Georgetown
Hello All!
It’s a beautiful time here at Georgetown. The leaves are falling on Giddings lawn and autumn is in full swing!
Last time we talked I was getting ready to celebrate Halloween, Georgetown style. I had such a great time at the parties that weekend and everyone was so creative with their costumes. Dancing the night away with all my friends made the night even better! I have to say it was definitely one of my favorite college experiences so far!
This fall has also been an exciting time for sports as well. Georgetown football has had a very successful season and just won their conference this past weekend! My friends and I love going to watch the games and always make our way to the Kentucky football games when we get the chance. The weather has been perfect which has made the season that much more enjoyable. It’s about that time to start shifting gears and getting ready for basketball season though, my favorite!
On to the academics…
Classes are still going strong and now the countdown begins for Thanksgiving break! It’s been a difficult couple of weeks with an English paper and a Foundations paper both due on the same day, but now that they are over I can look forward to the final weeks of the semester and the dreaded finals at the end. Scheduling takes place this week and I’m anxious to see what classes I will be participating in next semester. I can’t believe I’m already thinking about second semester of freshman year! It’s coming up very quickly and I can’t wait to see what it has in store for me.
Georgetown has given me so many opportunities for experience. This past week I got to travel to Frankfort with the radio team for a live broadcast from the capital to report the election results. It was such a great learning experience for me as I got to see how a broadcast was put together and how news like this was gathered and reported. Being a communication major it was an awesome opportunity for me to get to know the upperclassmen communication majors and ask them any questions I had for them. I was also able to participate in the process of finding a new professor to join the communications staff. I was able to listen in on phone interviews and ask questions to the prospective professors which gave me great insight into the job application process. I realize that these are opportunities are because of Georgetown’s small size and the fact that I get to establish such close relationship with my professors.
I hope that all of you all that are making decisions about college consider class size as a factor in your final choice. I didn’t realize how beneficial to the learning process that a class of at most 20 students really can be. Because there aren’t as many students in the class there is more opportunity for one-on- one help and conferences where the professors are more than happy to help you with any problems you might run into whether school related or even general help.
I love Georgetown College and everything it has provided me with, and I hope you all stay tuned to my journey though my freshman year!
