To be determined - by Amelia Roessler

Out with the table, in with Lizzie’s grad party

I don’t know about you guys, but it really is starting to feel like summer. The sun is out (most days), my plants are growing strong and I’ve pulled out all the summer clothes that I don’t like wearing but the weather forces me to do so. I only say that because I am a sweatshirt and pants person...

How much weight is too much?

It’s been another week of summer break and I can’t tell whether I am busy or not. When I look at my schedule, each day seems to have either a single meeting or absolutely nothing listed. However, I feel pretty busy, so I am in the strange position of not being sure either way. Perhaps part of...

Which graduates look more like Ethan or Luke?

Well, school has ended and everyone who was going to graduate has graduated. I attended two of the handful of college graduations. I sat through two of the ceremonies, each lasting around two to three hours, so I could scout what it would be like for next year when I graduate. Well, that and I...

How should I spend my summer?

It is the season of graduation and school ending, and with the weather as nice as it is, it feels like blue. I’m not graduating, but I have friends who are and also my sister is graduating from high school! I submitted my Shrek essay on Friday and went right to sleep at 11:30 p.m. Waking up...

My 10-page report about 'Shrek'

School is over and while it might seem I have all the time in the world now, I don’t. We had our last day of instructional classes on Monday, but that got cut short because of the protesters. The administration closed many of the main buildings at 2 p.m. on Monday because that’s when the...

Time to breath, read and watch television

It’s finally here: the last week of classes. While we still have classes on Monday, April 29, I don’t really count that as is the last day of class (which is weird that the last day of class is a Monday when our classes are either Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday - just seems weird)....

‘No charm equal to tenderness of heart’

I can now cross “attend a professional conference” off my list. This past weekend I attended the “Northern Exposure” a gathering of visual journalists held here at the University. I will preface this by saying I was encouraged to attend for reasons other than personal. My multimedia production...

Engineers, prom, and proselytization of...

Hello everyone who chooses to read the Pioneer instead of the County News and inexplicably happens to read my wacky thoughts. As is frequently the case, it has come down to me having to write this column and I have no idea what to write about. However, this week I covered some events for the...

I didn’t get the job, but I did get a job

What’s up gang? It has been quite a time in Amelia’s life - ooh, it’s a doozy. Keep reading for all the juicy gossip and details of how things go for a 20-year-old college student. Well, first off, I applied for a promotion at work (the college newspaper, the Minnesota Daily) and through a...

Spring, Easter, snow, God and camping

Happy Spring? I don’t know about you, but it is now pretty snowy up here in the Cities. I’m writing this on Tuesday, and it has snowed all day long. It was even bad enough that my one class for today moved onto an online format rather than meeting in person, which never happens. That is the one...
