It is really a great oppurtunity, and I am not talking just about the money that I can put towards school, but the experience overall. Work study opportunities here at PC can really teach you a lot of useful skills that you cannot learn inside the classroom. This past weekend was Freshman Family Weekend and I was a busy bee both Saturday and Sunday. By working the events like this, I am beginning to learn the ins and outs of event planning - something that could be very useful in the future. There are lots of jobs available on campus for students that offer similar oppurtunities for those with and without work study. http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2009/11/work_study_at_pc.html http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2009/11/work_study_at_pc.html Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:40:05 -0500 Here are pictures like I promised!

Lucky for me I only had one, in my ethics class, but my roommates had tests galore! Once mid-terms are over, the hustle and bustle of registering for classes for next semester will begin. I cannot belive it is already that time! I am getting ready to plan out my 4th semester at PC, it just does not feel like I have been here that long. Just to give you an update on my activities... Admissions Ambassadors has been going great. Although my schedule does not permit me to have Day Visits, I have been giving an Information Session once a week. Speaking to a large group on a weekly basis has really begun improving my public speaking skills and I love talking to prospective students and families, and sharing my PC experience with them, in hopes that they will come here too! Mentoring has also been going great! Two weeks ago we went on a scavanger hunt around campus and took silly pictures and had a great bonding experience. Yesterday the group acutally took a trip to the San Miguel School where our mentees are located and took a personal tour with them. They were able to show us their classroom, desks and their environment instead of always coming to ours. In addition, we had a costume contest. We were shown a table with limited materials such as garbage bags, straws, cup, plastic gloves, etc. and we had to dress our mentees up in a costume. IT WAS A BLAST, hopefully I will have pictures soon. All in all October has been crazy busy, but in the end hardwork pays off! http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2009/10/almost_halloween.html http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2009/10/almost_halloween.html Thu, 29 Oct 2009 11:16:46 -0500 Today is the annual Apple Fest at Ray where almost everything in our cafeteria some how incorporates apples. For lunch there was macaroni and cheese with apple which was delicious, also apple pizza, apple crisp and other treats for dessert and I cannot wait to see what they will have for dinner tonight too. Apple Fest means you know October is here and mid-terms are coming..dun dun dun..but it is a part of college and we will all make it through! Late Night Madness is Friday, when we kick off the start to the basketball season. I am going to pick up my shirt tonight at McPhails, can't wait! http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2009/10/apple_day_at_ray.html http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2009/10/apple_day_at_ray.html Thu, 15 Oct 2009 17:03:50 -0500 I woke up this morning and did not even realize it was October 1st. Where has the time gone? It certainly does not feel like we have been at school a month already, but the calendar does not lie. Since my last update, my schedule has not slowed down. I went home Saturday night of last weekend to watch my sister perform in her first marching band show of the season, which was great to see. She was really excited that I came. Today was especially fun on campus because my friends and I went to go pick up our student tickets for the upcoming Friar Basketball Season. There was a cookout on the lower quad, and we got to pick up the tickets and our free t-shirts which have a new design that read, "Lets get friared up!" Different from last year but I really like them. On Saturday I will be attending a scholarship lunch for all recipients who received financial aid from generous donors. We get to have lunch with the donors in 64' Hall and thank them for their support that helps us be able to go to PC. Hopefully there will be good food, haha! Do I sound like your typical college student or what? Next week is crazy for me, 2 papers due and my first Civ Exam, but hopefully I'll have a free minute to update! http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2009/10/one_month_has_come_and_gone.html http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2009/10/one_month_has_come_and_gone.html Thu, 01 Oct 2009 20:00:16 -0500 So far that is the scoop! I have my first paper due tomorrow, so I must get back to more writing. Talk to you all soon!]]> http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2009/09/week_3_everything_begins.html http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2009/09/week_3_everything_begins.html Wed, 23 Sep 2009 21:53:15 -0500 Roomies -- Lauren, Me and Annemarie on move-in day!]]> http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2009/09/sophomore_year.html http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2009/09/sophomore_year.html Tue, 08 Sep 2009 21:52:01 -0500 Sorry I never got around to doing one last blog for Freshman year at PC, well anyways here it is. Overall, my first year was everything that I thought it would be ... scary at first, stressful managing time, and getting used to new people, but in the end it is my new home. Those first few weeks filled with scary moments turned into the routine that I grew to love, the stressfull classes and managing time became fun filled with hard work and extracurriclular activities and finally those new people transformed from complete strangers to my friends. I'm home for the summer, enjoying the relaxation of no school work. But there is still that part of me, that can't wait to go back to Providence and do it all over again next year! Talk to you all in September! Enjoy your summer! P.S. I got accepted into the honors program, wooo! http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2009/06/end_of_freshman_year_has_come.html http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2009/06/end_of_freshman_year_has_come.html Fri, 26 Jun 2009 23:44:49 -0500 Kenny and Me Donte and Jaime Wiffle Ball on the Quad ]]> http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2009/05/recap_of_last_week_of_classes_1.html http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2009/05/recap_of_last_week_of_classes_1.html Tue, 05 May 2009 00:46:42 -0500 Let me know if you have any last minute questions about PC !!

I was pretty sure I was leaning toward English but I was not positive. I have a lot of friends that came in declared and have already switched their majors a few times. Bottom line: it is worth coming in undeclared! In other news, I am also a new Admission Ambassador, so on top of my blog I will be doing day visits/info sessions as well!]]> http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2009/04/im_officially_declared.html http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2009/04/im_officially_declared.html Tue, 14 Apr 2009 23:15:26 -0500 I know this is the peak of college decision making so I just wanted to take the time to let all the potential PC prospects out there know some of the reasons I chose PC: * Perfect Population Size--with just about 4000 undergrads I know that I will see my friends and familiar faces everyday, however I also meet new people on a daily basis too. It is a great size student population that you are not just a number, yet all your business is not known either. * Division I Atmosphere-- I was a bigtime athlete in high school who played three sports and considered playing in college. However, when I realized that PC was right for me, the Division I Athletics was a huge plus because the competition is intense and the Big East Conference is really well known. * Citylife -- As I mentioned in my previous blog, I came very close to going to school in the middle of nowhere and after experiencing school in the city, I could not imagine being anywhere else. Also, Providence is a great size city too, there is always something to do, yet it is not too overwhelming. As a PC student we also get free transportation on the local bus called the RIPTA so you can literally go into Providence anytime! * Liberal Arts Backgound -- Although I am sure there are nightmares floating around out there about the Western Civ program, we truly are lucky to have it here at Providence. It is the core of our college and you get such a great background of information that will really last with you well past graduation. PC is well known for Civ and that makes a huge impact when it comes to job applications in the future. * Feels Like Home -- When I stepped on to the PC campus, I instantly got the feeling that I knew this is where I belonged. Although the other reasons I listed above are 100% valid, nothing compares to that feeling you get when you know where you are meant to be. PC gave me that feeling and if you have got it too, then I cannot wait to see you on campus next year! These were just a few reasons among many, if you have any other questions during this crazy time of big decision making just drop me a comment! http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2009/04/come_to_pc.html http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2009/04/come_to_pc.html Mon, 06 Apr 2009 22:35:30 -0500 Me and Kenny Crazy air tunnels that you could put scarfs in and make them fly Water room, we made a dam and everything, so cool ]]> http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2009/04/field_trip_to_providence_childrens_museum.html http://blogs.targetx.com/providence/HannahMoriggi/2009/04/field_trip_to_providence_childrens_museum.html Thu, 02 Apr 2009 19:21:40 -0500 RELAY FOR LIFE PROVIDENCE COLLEGE STYLE was this past Friday night in Peterson and I got absolutely no sleep and spent the whole weekend catching up! The lack of sleep was definately worth it though, it was my first Relay experience and it was a blast. My friends and I formed a team ( 1 of 90 ) and took turns walking the track from 6pm-6am the next morning. About one fourth of our school participated! Since PC started Relay For Life, this year was the biggest turn out in attendance and money raised which totaled just over $117,000 which is really immpressive! All through the evening different groups performed such as the Dance Team, Dance Company, various acapella groups on campus, Rejects on the Rise and there was even a Zumba class running at 4am! Overall the night was full of excitement and I definately ate way too many snacks, but hey I was up for almost 24 hours, ha! I will definately do it again next year, it was a great cause! HERE ARE SOME PICTURES! Our team .. Meg and I .. Locks For Love & Special Guest Acapella Group ..
