To be determined - by Amelia Roessler

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...

Just a bunch of college kids working together

I had a moment today that brought me right back to small town vibes. It was when I was supposed to be studying in the library with one of my coworkers and classmates. We did study for a bit, but then one of us made a random comment and we started talking about a million different things; after...

government meetings and frosted cupcakes

It is now week 9 of 14 of this school semester and we’re really starting to get into the thick of it with projects, papers and midterms. Here’s what I’ve been learning recently. In my Intermediate News Reporting class, we have recently been discussing government meetings and how to report and...

Little ants on a burned picnic basket

As everyone and their mother already knows, there was a pretty big fire on Sunday. I know there are stories in other places of this paper on it, but I get to tell you first hand how the fire went down, as I was in the thick of it. My parents live on Snake Trail, right near Moonan Marsh and...

Just kidding, I do eat, sleep and go to the gym

Is it really already March? February felt like March. I talked with a professor today about spring and fall breaks at University: She commented about how the energy of students is different before and after breaks, but also depending on weather. She said students tend to lose focus when the...

Springtime is only one week away

Happy one-week-until-spring-break, everyone. The countdown is on because I am extremely excited to take a break from school and work, but really, who isn’t? My plans consist of visiting grandparents and a possible road trip with my friends; the second one is rather uncertain, though, because...

Amelia’s Superbowl halftime performance

It’s week whatever now in school and I am completely ready for it to be done. I’m exhausted all the time; I’m always writing either for class or work; and I’m always stressed about the future. Lovely times. I’m probably exaggerating, given that it’s late while I am writing this. I was able to...

A stroll down to the courthouse, and then...

You know, sometimes I forget that people actually read my column (shoutout to Bill Fitzsimmons for telling my family you liked my column). Last week’s column was a little sappy, so I’ll keep it upbeat this week. I am currently writing this while watching a bunch of men play mediocre pick-up...

Anxiety, relationships and adulting

Well, it’s been quite a week in Amelia’s world. Settle in, grab your cup of dark coffee (because that’s what you all drink in my mind), and let me tell you all about it. I write my columns on Tuesdays, since the newspaper gets sent in for publishing on Wednesday. So while you all read this on...
