Hi everyone, and welcome to my first blog!
You wouldn't believe how many students declare Bobst (the magnificent library at NYU, for those of you that don't already know) their second home during midterm time! My friends and I were infuriated that other students dare to take our usual, cozy study areas in "the museum" during exam time, since they never study at Bobst any other time.
Despite the stressful atmosphere created by exam time, there is one plus: the relationships I build with my professors strengthen. I feel that developing individual relationships with professors is extremely helpful at NYU, given the University’s size. Professors are available, but it is up to the student to take advantage of their office hours, etc.
Now that midterm week is over, I'm free to relax a bit. There is still much work to be done - papers, readings, upcoming quizzes...ok, so maybe I'm not so free after all! This past weekend served as the lengthy study break I had been craving, though.
Halloween here is always crazy and fun! Everyone dresses up, the parade is packed, and the liveliness of NYC abounds! My friends and I decided to be Disney characters - cliché, but an excuse to get all “dolled up”. Everyone seemed to go all out this year; the amount of creativity, given the incessant rain, was remarkable.
This is one of the many reasons I love being a Steinhardt student at NYU. I am a Speech Pathology major and I plan to minor in American Sign Language. I encourage you to read future posts to truly appreciate a first-hand experience of campus life. I am happy to answer any questions or comments that you might have. Feedback is much appreciated!
Thanks for checking out “CC’s Corner”! Happy posting!

Very well discussed. Certainly a very sad situation--let's hope that others will choose to use all resources available to help them come to grips with depression before it takes control of their lives.
