The glory of college is not in finding out what you are good at but what you are truly interested in. I am a self-diagnosed overachiever, and I fully embrace the fact that I have done a lot of things to be praised. For the past three years I had the mindset that I can and will do anything anyone asks of me. I wish I knew as a freshman that just because I can do something does not mean I have to.
The Republican Party held its first presidential debate in Milwaukee, Wis. on Aug. 23 without the frontrunner for the nomination, but the event was still rowdy and contentious despite former President Donald Trump’s absence.

August is slowly coming to an end, and college students know what that means: the beginning of a new semester. As this month begins to wrap up, I have been asking myself, “What have I done to take care of myself this summer?”
Naugle Hall received a fresh look over the summer with a new color scheme, updated carpets and easy-to-clean furniture in the shared living spaces. This renovation is the first step in an on-going process to update all the residence halls in the next few years.
The town of Shippensburg gathered on King Street on the last Saturday in August for the 42nd annual Corn Festival. Craft vendors, food trucks and performers had a blast with an incredible turnout of over 25,000 people attending from 11am to 3pm. Visitors came to admire the antique car show, watch the corn eating contest and see what the over 270 exhibitors had to offer.
As summer ended and a new semester began, Shippensburg University welcomed the Class of 2027. First-year students settled into their new dorms and embarked on their college experience this previous week during SU Fall Welcome Week. The transition from high school to college can be a lot for any student, but Fall Welcome Week helps soften the blow of this drastic change.
While I cannot vote in the Republican primary thanks to my party affiliation, I always find the time to watch the debates. Perhaps it’s my penance for being a political science major.
