April 18, 2013

As a math major with zero foreign language skills, it’s sometimes hard to justify exactly why I’m spending a semester abroad in Morocco.  “So you want to start focusing on human rights?” Nope. “Do you want to get involved in developmental economics?” Not really. “Are you thinking about working for an NGO or something?” Don’t think so.  “So why are you here?”  Well, my original reasons, that camels are awesome and Casablanca is a darn good movie, now seem laughably insufficient.  In fact, Casablanca is probably my least favorite city that I’ve been to, and my time riding a camel totaled about 40 minutes.  But luckily my shaky reasoning hasn’t stopped me from fully embracing the mysteries and delights of living a Moroccan lifestyle.

From Where I Sit: Hamilton’s international perspectives
April 11, 2013

I was eight years old when I first heard about Hamilton College. It was January and my oldest sister Riada just received her acceptance letter. Although I was happy for her, I kept on wondering why does she want to go to a university that is so far from home. She could receive a good education in Sarajevo and stay with friends, our family and me. More ...

March 7, 2013

When people hear  the word “diversity,” what is the first thing that comes to mind? The variety of ways to answer this question is endless and this incited the Asian Cultural Society to start The Whiteboard Project.

“Mmm, noodle soup!” Pho Mekong, a hidden gem
February 28, 2013

Pho Mekong House of Noodles is an almost invisible Vietnamese restaurant located on a barren cross section corner in Utica.  Though we nearly drove right past the faded Pho Mekong sign, I am so glad we made it inside for a unique meal. The overall ambiance at Pho Mekong was a very relaxing distraction from the Commons chaos. More ...

From Where I Sit: Hamilton’s international perspectives
February 28, 2013

My first party at Hamilton ended with a river flow of tears by the steps of the Events Barn. Having experienced the great college phenomenon called grinding, complemented with kegstands and beer pong, a question began bothering me whose answer I was unsure of: What had I done? Why, why, why had I come here? Five thousand miles away from my country and inescapably trapped in the vast empty plains of upstate New York, I felt more far from home than even before. More ...
