As everyone’s finals wrapped up and I watched my friends drive away for the summer, it was a bitter-sweet experience. My junior year was over and knowing that I had only my senior year left was daunting - but I barely had time to be sad!

My summer consists of staying in Binghamton and working. I work for Admissions as a Tour Guide and at the Front Desk helping prospective students find out if Binghamton is the right fit. I work at a local art, history and science museum on the West side of Binghamton. I also do work for the Student Association as the Executive Vice President by educating new students on ways to get involved (we’ve got over 200 student groups and organizations)!

I’ve also started studying for the GREs (I haven’t done this kind of math since high school… help)!! It’s crazy to think that my days at Binghamton are numbered, but I have my experiences, memories, and friendships so that I can keep them with me always.

For now, I’ll be working, studying, and having fun during my summer in Binghamton. There are hundreds of students here working and taking classes and always something going on. Today I will attend July Fest, a summer celebration in Downtown Binghamton complete with a Jazz Festival. This is my second summer in Binghamton and I am so happy to be spending it here.
