Howdy y’all! I have officially returned from the dead :) I’ve been a bit crazy with band winding down, midterms on the mind, and finishing papers, I’ve been a bit of an overwhelmed freshman. However, it is Spring Break this week at GW and I am getting fully revived.

Despite the fact that most students leave GW to go home or to the coast for Spring Break, I decided to stay on campus and enjoy the coming spring as well as getting PAID to give tours with the StAR program (Student Admissions Represenative). StAR’s work voluntarily and are responsible for giving undergraduate admissions tours throughout the year. We are selected through a competitive process and I hope to see some of y’all as future StAR’s. I enjoy this activity and will continue to do it for the next three years, that’s for sure.

Luckily for me, many of my friends are also staying either a.) giving StAR tours as well or b.) working on campus to make some extra money. After our jobs are done and we get a little bit of pesky homework done, we go out and enjoy the city. It is really awesome, relaxing, and something we don’t always get to do when we are busy with schoolwork. Today’s destination was Dupont Circle and some pictures are below. This is a bustling, residential area just north of campus with many great palaces to shop, eat, and hang out. I had fun reading at Books-a-Million, eating at Chipotle, and relaxing in the circle’s park, but these pictures show the beauty of the area.

In conclusion, I will continue to post these blogs for the remaining 5 days to show you what a DC/GW spring break looks like. In addition, if you are coming for a tour this week, request me or just send me a note saying you want to be on my tour. I’m giving a tour pretty much every day, at every time. Have a good spring break and hope to see you in DC!!!
Peace, Love and Hippos,
Brandon
P.S.- Congrats to all my Texans visiting GW over spring break! Your regional director, Arturo Carillo, and I are proud of you. On this afternoon’s tour, there were more of us than there were east coasters. Keep up the good work and represent the Lone Star state!
