"Like many college students, I’m ready for this semester to be over with. Please get me on the next train to Albany so I can escape final exams, papers, and multiple presentations... Maybe I’m being a teensy overdramatic. Finals can be a stressful time for everyone, even students like me who are amazing at time management (FYI post-it notes do wonders for prioritizing and organization). If you’re organized and set aside time for yourself, you will be..." Read More

"I’ll admit that I do a lot of unconventional and weird things: convincing myself I have a natural sense of direction when riding the subway and refusing to look at subway maps even when I’m clearly lost, lysoling my room twice a day, but more recently, making my cousins wait in line with me for five hours outside of Toys 'R' Us in the middle of Times square to get my little sister these things called Zhu Zhu Pets on Black Friday..."

"Life is tough! I have been working during the day, going to classes at night, and falling asleep on textbooks. This fall, I intern for an online marketing firm in Soho. I learned about the position last year during a presentation by Lubin's Interactive Direct Marketing lab. I polished my resume, dusted my career suit, and prepared for the interview..."    Read More

"Calling all Yankee Fans!! Among the abundance of things that are great about Pace, one of my favorite aspects of the University is its location...my suitemate Christina and I were able to go to plenty of Yankee games this semester without it conflicting with our school work because it was so convenient . . . After the Yankees won their 27th World Series Championship the traditional Yankees Parade soon followed and I chose to fight the crowds and stand on Broadway from 6:30am to 1pm..."    Read More

"Last week’s “Check Up From the Neck Up Counseling Center” event, hosted by the Sophomore Scoop Series, generated a great turn out ... As the fall semester begins to conclude, the Sophomore Scoop Series will host two more events in 2009... "  Read More

"Guess who’s officially dual majoring in communication studies and English? ME!!!!!! :-)
I came into Pace as a communication studies major and later declared my concentration in media studies (With this major, it’s mandatory to choose media studies or public & professional relations as a concentration). As of last week, I..." Read More

"I loved my University 101 class freshman year- I can’t express it enough. My professor was amazing and I forged unbelievable friendships with many of my classmates. Class periods were always informative, fun and memorable and it’s the only class that I've never been absent for during my time at Pace..." Read More

"So I don't know how many Pacers are fans of the new Fox series Glee, but I know I am! I'm such a Gleek, (a person who is obsessed with Glee; a combination of the words 'glee' and 'geek') that I waited up all night on Monday/Tuesday to get the CD! So starting at 3:30am on Tuesday, November 3, two of my sorority sisters and I were up at Columbus Circle waiting in line to get..."  Read More

"It’s that time of the year again…. Thinking about next semester and picking out your classes. Mid terms are just about over or completely over for some and, well, once that hits we know we have to think about the Spring or even January Intersession. As I was hunting around the Pace website I found..." Read More

"My roommates are all really incredible cooks, which inspired me to make my own list of yummy (albeit horribly sketchy and probably unhealthy) recipes! And of course, being students, we're crunched for time and brain matter, so sometimes we need a meal that's easy-peasy to prepare. Here are some recipes that I've come up with in my time living in John St and Fulton (and if I managed to not burn the building down, I'm sure you won't either!)" Read More

"As a study abroad student, there are lots of things you might need to prepare for your trip. I enlisted the help of a few friends who studied abroad previously while I was packing for my own trip to make sure I had everything I needed. Here are a few helpful tips for all of you students thinking about studying abroad this spring semester or in the future. Bring enough..." Read More

"Back to school jitters… The sadness of the summer’s end mixed with the excitement of a new year was in full force by the end of August. New professors, new classes, new dorm room, and new opportunities to experience were in the near future."    Read More

"I’m currently in my dorm room blaring Taylor Swift from my laptop, attempting to complete a list load of homework assignments while trying to find someone on my floor to order Dominos with for dinner because I do not have the ambition or talent to cook a decent meal..." Read More

"It’s a new year. That means new challenges, new classes, new professors, and for most of us who are dorming, new living situations. Now, for us at the downtown campus, the dorm situation’s been more than a little crazy. There are quite a lot of people and, as we all know, space in New York is just hard to come by. But we’ve got the..." Read More

"The major way I’m trying to give back to Pace this year is through the creation of POP TV Pace’s Official Programming. We’re a new club that my friends and I established and have progressed so far in such a short time! (You can read more about us in one of the recent issues of the Pace Pulse and in my upcoming blogs). I know POP TV will be consuming a lot of my time, but I’m looking forward to all that we can accomplish, like establishing an even stronger sense of community..." Read More

"While I spent the summer working two jobs, keeping up with an internship, and trying to fit in time to spend with my friends, I totally put off thinking that I was going away for three months. So much so that I didn’t even begin packing until two days before I left! I said goodbye to my friends and family and boarded a nonstop flight from Philly to Rome, only to be hit with that gnawing feeling in my stomach asking if I was really doing the right thing...."

"I’ve realized that nearly all the students I’ve talked to are most concerned with their book purchases this upcoming semester.  “How do I find out what books I need?”, “Where do I order my books?”, “Should I contact my professor to see what books I need?”…So, I figured I would devote a blog on how to go about your purchases...."

"...But like all of the incoming students, I’m excited for all the new memories that I am going to make, and all the new friends that are sure to come. I am excited to see what comes next. So if you see me walking down Shirley Beth’s Way, don’t be afraid to say hello, let’s make each other’s college experience a wonderful one." Read More

"Transitioning into Manhattan, in addition to a college environment, may have any incoming student or parent feeling a little uneasy. My best advice: relax, learn, and enjoy the fun ride! College is one of the best experiences one will ever have and doing it at Pace will make it even better. I promise."   Read More
