Learning to Dance in the Rain

by Erica March 12, 2010

Here’s a common anonymous quote that I’ve learned to live by: “Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass; it’s about learning to dance in the rain.“ I’m all about motivational quotes such as the one above. In a literal sense, I thought it to be appropriate for the current conditions, seeing as [...]

What do you call an avid gardener?

by Alumni Posts March 12, 2010

I have recently begun reading Chaim Potok’s The Chosen. There is a quote about the main character’s father.  “Anything that brings the world together he called a blessing”.  He was talking about a radio.  Hmm, anything that brings the world together is a blessing.  That could mean many things.  What brings the world together for [...]

Andrew- Headed to Ireland

by fontbonneuniversity March 9, 2009

So, first semester of college, I decided to do what everyone—parents, older friends, siblings, teachers, advisors, etc.—had so strongly recommended: get involved. Fortunately, Fontbonne made it easy to get involved. Not only were there a plethora of clubs to join, each with inviting, friendly people, but as a part of freshman orientation, some participation was [...]

Mike- Hyperplanned 48 hours

If I was stuck on campus for 48 hours without classes, I would have a wonderful time engaging in several activities here at Fontbonne.  I would start the two day period with a long run in Forest Park early in the morning followed by a shower and breakfast in Ryan Hall.  Next, I would spend [...]

Liz- School Can Support Your Growth

by fontbonneuniversity February 10, 2009

Someone should choose to go to college, of course, because of academics and an interest they have in a major. That way they will learn academically in a specific area of interest to hopefully get a career they like in the future. A college should also be chosen based on interests outside of the classroom.

Libby-Enjoys Marshmallows

by fontbonneuniversity February 10, 2009

As many of my friends know, I love sweet food.  The more chocolate and sugar filled the better.  Fontbonne accommodates to me in that aspect.  Frequently on campus, we have a S’more Chat sponsored by Campus Ministry.  This is a time for ANYONE to stop by stand around a fire, eat s’mores, and just well [...]

Mary- Picking A Favorite Is Impossible

by fontbonneuniversity February 4, 2009

I can’t say that have just one favorite event on campus. There are so many things that I look forward to throughout the year, that picking one would be rather impossible. We’ll start at the beginning of the year with FOCUS. Orientation is definitely more than one event, but when you put them all together [...]

Krista- Categorizing Favorites

by fontbonneuniversity February 4, 2009

I have been to so many amazing Fontbonne events that it really is difficult to choose just one. I mean, there are Mystery Masquerades, Metanoia Retreats, FISH service events, FAB events, Spring Formals, and so much more. So. Let’s categorize them into “favorites,” shall we? My favorite CAMPUS MINISTRY event is a tie between Metanoia [...]

Libby- Missed The Winter Weather

by fontbonneuniversity February 2, 2009

My winter break was busy.  No not because I had a job, but because there were so many movies to see, books to read, and friends to catch up with.  I saw some great movies this break.  Seven Pounds was not what I expected but I loved it.  I also saw The Curious Case of [...]
