A whole new world….

That’s right, I was indeed Jasmine for Halloween.  And yes, I did belch out “A whole new world” all night!  The best part of all- I dressed my favorite stuffed animal up as Abu!  Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year.  What better excuse to dress up and look as ridiculous as possible!  I have to admit I did see some pretty crazy costumes.  I even heard someone was Jon and Kate plus 8- Bucknellians really take this holiday seriously!

Introduction

Hey everyone! I’m Michelle and I am a sophomore here at Bucknell! I am originally from Hazleton, Pennsylvania, which is conveniently only about an hour away from Bucknell. I live with my Mom, Dad, and two sisters, Amy and Christy (yes, I AM the middle child!). I spend a lot of my free time relaxing with family and my friends, running outside, or eating ICE CREAM!!
When it came to looking for colleges, I honestly had NO idea. It was the end of my junior year in high school and believe me when I tell you, my mom was on my [...]
