About Carrie Daut

Hey!

I’m Carrie, and I was a senior (ahhh!!!) in the spring of 2009 at William & Mary. When I wasn’t blogging, on campus I was an Economics Major and History Minor, I taught Group Fitness classes at our Rec Center (Boxilates, anyone??), I was Co-Editor-in-Chief of W&M’s campus newsmagazine, The DoG Street Journal, I was a Tour Guide for the Admission Office, and I overdosed on enthusiasm for five days every August when I worked at Freshman Orientation.

I spent quite possibly the most incredible four months of my life studying abroad in Athens, Greece, and I will be the first to admit that I’ll talk your ear off about the experience if you ask me about it.

I love making lists, I changed my mind nearly every day about my post-college plans, and I’m really bad at picking a “favorite” anything, so you’ll find none of that here.

I, however, really really like cookie dough, 10 Things I Hate About You, γυροs and τζατζικι (compliments of that delicious Greek cuisine), maps and travel books, dancing, and road trips to the lake.

I’m from Louisville, Kentucky, and I loved the solo drives along I-64 between home and the College.

In Love with My Laptop

I think most college students would be willing to agree that the day their laptop crashes, their world will come crashing down as well.

Those Yellow Shirts…Again

Favorite Orientation Aide memories that weren’t included in the first post. It just wouldn’t be a complete picture without these too: -The feeling when

Those Yellow Shirts

Every August, I come back to William & Mary a week early. Is it because I can’t get enough of that 110 degrees after-you-take-into-account-the-heat-index

Not Your Typical Summer Job

Well, we’re in week two of interviews here in the Admission Office dungeon, so I feel like I’m now fully authorized to comment on

Picky Eating

Oranges = πορτοκαλια. I used to hate oranges. I know, that makes me a freak, but it’s true. I didn’t like them, and I
