Earlier this week I received news that my application to declare an Architectural Studies major was approved by the Interdisciplinary Studies board. Obviously, I am pretty excited about this opportunity. The Architectural Studies major is one of the self-designed majors available to students. This meant that I had to put together and organize a curriculum…

It’s been an electric start to the semester. We’ve had two major snowstorms and the announcement of our new President, Vincent D. Rougeau. Eventful to say the least. COVID wise, our community has done a great job with protocols, and we just went down to yellow status this past week; pretty much the best status…

It has been around 10 months since I’ve been on campus. There’s a possibility I will be back in 22 days. It is because of this upcoming arrival that I have found myself reflecting on my time during the pandemic and what role Holy Cross has played in it. There is no doubt that there…

Finally back on campus after a long break! Feels good to be back with the Hanselfam (Hanselman Dorm on Instagram) and see my friends again. It’s been refreshing to have brand new classes and a new routine so far. One of the most fun things I’ve done since I’ve been back is the open skate…

I cannot believe how fast time has flown. It seems like just yesterday I was unpacking everything in my dorm room. Now it’s winter break and I’ve been able to catch my breath after a very intense round of finals. Reflecting on these past four months I cant believe all that happened. Beyond my new…

I’m back! And I’m glad to announce that I’ve officially survived my first midterms at College of the Holy Cross. A culmination of tests, quizzes, and papers all made for a very exciting and tiresome couple of weeks. It feels good to be done with them but it was certainly a daunting task, so here…

As mentioned in my last post, move-in went very smoothly and so did the orientation program. Orientation consisted of many presentations about the campus, what to expect, do’s and don’ts, etc. It also included plenty of walking up and down Mt. St. James, which definitely helps you acclimate to the steep campus.  Beyond the presentations…

After a relaxing summer, all that stood between me and started my first year at Holy Cross was 891.2 miles of roads. The 14 hour road trip was advantageous as I was able to brush up on our required summer reading, “The Uninhabitable Earth” by David Wallace-Wells, along with spending some quality time with my…

Welcome Everyone!           Hello, I’m Hunter Gutt. I am a first year student here at Holy Cross. Being part of the blogging program is a tremendous honor and opportunity to hopefully create a unique source of insight to everyday life here on Mt. St. James. Over the course of this academic…
