Senior Profiles

Time Flies

I remember being a freshman at The Pointer, seeing these much more mature, maybe even old, seniors write their farewell to the student newspaper. I couldn’t imagine that these people were going to be done with school forever, finally becoming an Adult™. Well, I guess now it’s my turn. The last three and a half years have not necessarily gone ... Read More »

A Unique Final Semester to Say the Least

Coming back to school has definitely been different to say the least. As the university offered a mix of in-person and online classes, professors offered more office hours, resources to access online, and had a day dedicated for catch-up, it still didn’t help as much to make it feel as normal as it could be. I’m grateful to only have ... Read More »

My Unfinished, Finished, Journey

This was not the plan. This was not the way my senior year was supposed to end. Online. Away from my professors. My classmates. My friends that I have made over my last three years while attending the wonderful UW-Stevens Point. This online schooling situation was something that I honestly could’ve seen myself loving in previous years– I’m home with ... Read More »

See Y’all Later, Maybe

I’m a little sad, and a little happy. I’m sad to know that I’ll be entering the U.S. economy. I’ll just be another laboring palm in the American workforce – this supermassive orgy of comfort and commodity that exploits all others on a global scale. If I’m anything like the average American, I’ll spend the vast majority of the rest ... Read More »

Series Finale

It’s difficult to write a send-off without acknowledging how the elephant in the room completely changed the course of the semester. I obviously never imagined Zoom calls and online assignments would govern the end of my undergraduate experience. Nevertheless, this is the new normal for now. I won’t lie – it has been extremely challenging just getting through the rest ... Read More »

The Last Words I Have To Say…

Man, college was hard. Like, really hard.  The late nights, balancing a social life with an academic career and a collegiate sport, and trying to manage all of my own personal demons. To say it has been rough is putting it lightly.  I have always had an outlet, though, and that outlet has been writing. Whenever I needed to blowoff ... Read More »

Making A Footprint But Just Passing Through

It’s hard to believe that only two years ago, this chapter of my life began at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. I started my undergraduate career at UW-Waukesha, where I am originally from, Waukesha, WI and transferred to UWSP in fall 2016 after deciding that I wanted to study Communication. Starting here was challenging for me in so many ways. ... Read More »

An Unexpected Journey

Starting school at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point was a decision made out of practicality rather than anything else. I had already had my “college experience” and transferring to the UWSP was just another step. I was slightly older than everyone else and had lived on my own for a number of years, so I did not think that my ... Read More »

She Came, She Saw, She Wrote About It

I have a confession: a year and a half ago, I added a minor just so I could graduate in four years instead of three. This was partly so I could stick around and write a 20 page senior thesis for the English department but more than this, I wasn’t ready to say goodbye. Now we’re here and the extra ... Read More »

Music On My Mind, Food In My Mouth

Coming to UWSP was the best decision for me. I’ve met amazing people that helped shape who I am today, and I’ll never forget my long hours designing in the NFAC, talking to professors, and exploring the city with friends. Its been a wild five years to say the least but I wouldn’t change any moment of it. After graduation, ... Read More »
