Episode I — The Beginning of the Blogs

Hello, Holy Cross community! I’m elated to introduce myself as a new blogger in Holy Cross’s blogging program. I’m Allison, a freshman here at the College and having a wonderful experience thus far.

A girl wearing a black zip-up hoodie and green flowery skirt pretends she's holding up the stones at Stonehenge, with a huge dorky grin on her face.
Here I am at Stonehenge, helping to ensure one of the great wonders of the world stays upright!

A little bit about me: academically, I’m planning to study English, thinking about adding Spanish as a second major, and looking forward to taking an Environmental Studies class next semester. I’m currently on a huge Grey’s Anatomy kick right now, and Taylor Swift has been gracing my Apple Music as of late—but, in all honesty, when is she not? Hailing from my hometown of Westwood, Massachusetts, I’m finding Holy Cross to be the perfect distance: a nice change of scenery, yet I’m able to go home for a weekend if the homesickness really sets in.

I’m excited to share my thoughts and experiences with you all! The tentative plan is to post once a week, but my workload is increasing as the semester wraps up. In any case, you can expect to hear from me at least once every two weeks.

That’s all from me for now! Just wanted to hop on here and quickly introduce myself. I’ll see you soon!
