The WAC Way by Caitlyn Maltese

My name is Caitlyn Maltese. I am a current student at Washington College. I am graduating a semester early in Dec. 2016 with an English major and a creative writing minor. This blog was created to document my experience at WC.

Back On Campus

Thanksgiving break has come and gone, now I am back at WAC for my last three weeks. I just had my last layout for The Elm and everything is starting to wind down. Although, I still have a lot of work I need to do, now I can count all of my major assignments on only two hands. Time to finish the semester strong. Wish me luck!

Dear Reader,

There is no doubt that the students at Washington College have felt the blow from the results of the recent presidential election. 

There is fear, uncertainty, and hopelessness.

I have personally faced this but am comforted by the fact that I am not alone. 

Last week, students wrote their post-election feelings and hung them up outside of dining hall. Our professors were also outside all day offering words of support and encouragement.

To quote my dear Kate McKinnon, “I’m not giving up and neither should you.”

All the best,

Jillian

I’m going to miss Chestertown

Graduation is quickly approaching, and I am feeling pretty nostalgic. I’ve lived here for almost four years now, but in a couple weeks, I no longer will be. I think about all the things that I am going to miss, and I realize it’s everything-- every odd little thing about this town. I would’t trade it for the world.

We had a great talk by one of our professors last week. Here’s an article I wrote about it for The Elm.

So this is a thing. Fantastic.

WC treats us well. Even though we aren't here for thanksgiving, the dining hall pulls out all stops to give us a thanksgiving dinner the week before. I love our school. This is definitely one of my favorite traditions.
