Hey Everybody! It’s great to be back in Morningside Heights. I am very much looking forward to getting started with this spring semester and to keep filling you in on the journey of the class of 2015. There is so much in store for the semester; I am going to have much to blog about. I am especially looking forward to List College formal, the List College retreat, Columbia’s Bacchanal concert, the Columbia Varsity show, and much more. Keep checking back this semester for more frequent updates about happenings around campus, pictures, and interviews with members of the class of 2015.
Over break I spent some time coming up with my joint program resolutions. I have no regrets from the first semester, but now having a semester’s worth of experience, I think there is much more I can pledge to do this year. While I am generally unhappy with the idea of New Year’s resolutions, since most people break them by February anyway, I am going to make some. Hopefully readers of the blog can keep me on top of them!
Columbia/JTS Spring Semester Resolutions
1.Get More Sleep- Elementary Hebrew starts at 10:20 am so I probably shouldn’t have an excuse.
2. Talk to strangers- I know my mom told me not to when I was younger, but there are so many people at JTS and Columbia that I do not know yet. I am looking forward to meeting even more unique people at both schools.
3. Eat more vegetables- now that my MSRH kitchen is fully equipped it is time to take full advantage of it and cook more meals. Anyone have any recipe ideas?
4. Exercise- It may be joining the List College boys for their weekly football game, or heading over to Columbia’s three story gym with a friend, but I hope to find time to be active.
5. Get out of Morningside Heights sometimes- there is so much of New York city I still need to explore. Looking forward to taking advantage of living in the most vibrant city in the world.
6. Go to Campus Events- There is so much going on at Columbia and JTS after classes end for the day. I am taking the first step on this one and going to see Supreme Court Justice Stephen Bryer as part of a lecture series at JTS. Just one of the many amazing opportunities to meet famous people in NYC.
7. See a taping of the Daily Show- Ok, this one is a long shot, but it is my favorite televisions show, and other List College students got to go this semester. Can it be my turn?
8. Smile More and remember to enjoy every day
