Hand Shake

Monday, September 7, 2009 by Julie Southworth
Hi! (firm hand shake and looking you in the eye)

My name is Julie Southworth and this is my first time as an "official" blogger. I am super excited to chat about my daily ventures as a SENIOR here at DePauw University.

First let me introduce myself:
As I said, I am *senior* political science major, and communications minor. I am from a small town outside of St. Louis called Eureka. Which means I am a huge St. Louis Cardinal fan!! 

As far as my life at DePauw - I run cross country and track ... I love those long distances!
I am also a member of Alpha Phi sorority and President of Mortar Board Senior Honor Society and VP of Order of Omega (they are both honor societies on campus). 

As far as me - I love cupcakes (I secretly want to open a cupcake shop in the future). I also love to travel and see new places. I am not a good dancer, but attempting to get better by taking Ballroom dancing this semester! 

As far as future - let's steer clear of this topic for a while, because I get really nervous and can't breathe when I think about graduating! I don't want to leave my safe/fun/perfect DePauw bubble quite yet. I am planning on applying to law school, and also apply to a few political jobs - so wish me luck!

How am I already a senior?!? It seems like just yesterday I was looking through college books. I knew I wanted a small school and DePauw's liberal arts education caught my attention, but when I learned about DePauw's travel opportunities (winter term and study abroad), I was hooked. 
Now that I am an old wrinkly senior - I can look back at the last 3 years and see that I have taken advantage of some of the awesome opportunities DePauw has to offer (especially as far as traveling goes!) I studied abroad  in London during the spring of my Junior year (don't worry I will chat about this a lot! obsessed!) and I went to New Mexico for an outdoor adventure program my freshman year WT (winter term) and went to Japan for a cultural trip my sophomore WT. Basically, DePauw has given me so many opportunities to learn in exciting new atmospheres, and I have grown so much from these experiences. 

I can't wait to blog about my senior year adventures and just DePauw in general! 

As they say in London - Cheerio!
