UNH: The Year In Review

Posted by Aidan King on May 16th, 2013 in Blogs, UNH | 0 comments

Aidan King (UNH Social Media Associate, UNHTales writer, and co-tweeter of @UNHStudents): This year has been a crazy one: filled to the brim with Somali Pirates, political elections,  Middle Eastern bloodshed, and giant Russian meteors. We had the Olympics in London, “Linsanity” in New York, Bombings in Boston, civil rights protests on a global scale, and Mother Nature doing a bit of “protesting” of her own – in the form of hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, and wildfires. Children were shot, chicken wings were consumed, Batman topped the charts once more, and scientists discovered revolutionary new particles. Like any year, humanity has done a pretty good job at staying busy. There’s been happy times and sad times. Awe-inspiring events and devastating tragedies. A proverbial smorgasbord of wild happenings, and it’s all taken place atop the surface of our rocky, interstellar spaceship called “Earth.” (more…)

My Internship

Posted by Meghan Orencole on May 6th, 2013 in Blogs | 1 comment

My senior year at UNH I had the amazing opportunity to have a digital internship with Miss Kinsman. Miss Kinsman is a luxury swimwear company based in Los Angeles California. Typically this type of internship would not be able to occur due to location differences. However, through the support of the communication internship program at UNH I was able to be a digital intern for Miss Kinsman. I first heard about Miss Kinsman through UNH pathways when the founder of the company Joanna Kinsman was my assigned mentor within the UNH pathways program. Joanna and I officially began our mentor mentee relationship in the beginning of September 2012 which consisted of monthly phone conversations and meetings if possible. Obviously with Joanna in California she was unable to have meetings in person. Fortunately,  Joanna was able to fly out for our first UNH pathways dinner where we got to meet in person and put a face to a name. (more…)

Christensen Pass-Down Ceremony

Posted by Rachel Afrow on May 2nd, 2013 in Blogs | 2 comments

To follow up from my blog a few weeks ago regarding RA orientation, the incoming Christensen RAs have finally been passed-down the floors we are assigned to next year! Before the ceremony began, the future staff got together for dinner and made a few final predictions as to what floors we were going to be placed on by the current hall director who, is also moving dorms next year. From there, all thirty-four of us (current RAs, new RAs, current and future hall directors, and undergraduate assistant hall directors) gathered in the rec lounge located in the basement of Christensen Hall.

‘UNH’ by Molly Webber

“UNH” An original song by Molly Webber, UNH Class of 2017

Here we are, Freshmen again
Can I let you in on a secret?
I’m kinda nervous, kinda scared
Feels like we just went through this
All the hand shakes, and introductions
All the new names, make’n my head spin
And my parents say I’ll be okay…

Chorus:
It’s cold up here, but I’m at UNH and,
We love to cheer, for the Wildcats and,
It may be far from home, I might miss mom and dad,
But they promised, promised me that,
I’ll be okay, at UNH yeah

At UNH, yeah

At UNH, yeah

Share stories with our new best friends
Just make’n our way here
Funny how we’re the youngest again
Oh but at New Hampshire
Everybody smiles, and you will never feel like you’re left out
And my parent’s say I’ll be okay…

Signing My Life Away?

Posted by Amy Riley on May 1st, 2013 in Blogs | 0 comments

Today I signed my life away (well, the next year of it at least)! All right, I guess I’m being a bit dramatic. What I mean to say is today I signed my contract to work with Kate in her classroom at East Kingston Elementary. I still think we’re a match made in heaven (she’s even a lefty!) so I’m pretty excited that I get to spend the next year teaching with and learning from her. (more…)

Fashion in Florence

Posted by Meghan Orencole on Apr 30th, 2013 in Blogs, UNH | 1 comment

My junior spring semester of 2012 I spent studying abroad in Florence, Italy. It was the first time as a UNH student that I was able to study fashion. Florence, as all my Italian fashion teachers told me, was the foundation of fashion far before the fashion capitals of New York, France, Milan or Los Angeles emerged. As a self-created fashionista I had to admit there was a limit that magazines, TV shows, fashion blogs, and movies could teach me about this industry, so I decided to take fashion classes while abroad as a focus within my communication major.
