Much Ado About Me


Well hello everyone out there in internet land! To all of you soon to be graduating guys and gals...welcome!

I can't tell you enough how grateful I am that you decided to stop by my blog. My name is Chrissy. I will be your host for this evening.

Oh! And I will also be your Freshman Admissions Counselor at the University of St. Thomas throughout your entire application and financial aid process. I guess I should mention that, as well. ;) Essentially, when it comes down to it: I am your "go-to" gal in admissions. If you ever need anything, you call me.

If you have any questions: call me.
If you have any doubts: call me.
If you need someone to vent to: call me.
If you need some help talking to your folks about college: call me.
If you want to visit camps: call me.
If you have any questions regarding financial aid and/or scholarships: call me.

As you can see...the Ghostbusters and I have much in common. However, in this case...Who you gonna call?

Me. :)

Just a little bit about myself, before we begin, for those of you who are interested to knowing more about the person behind the voice:

As I stated before, my name is Chrissy. I am a very proud alumna of the University of St. Thomas, having recently graduated in 2005 with my B.A. in Political Science and Philosophy. I also went though UST's Pre-law program (which is EXCELLENT) and was pretty much involved in almost everything you can possibly imagine during my years here.

Student Government - check!
Student Activities - check!
Clubs - multiple checks!
Sports - psuedo-check! (What can I say...I'm not that coordinated!)

I used to use the expression, when describing my involvement at UST, "I had my finger in every sugar bowl imaginable!"

So I am not only well equipped to help you with anything regarding admissions, but I can also give you first hand experience regarding what it's like to be a UST student. You want to know what UST students do? Want to know where they hang out? What kind of culture UST has? I can answer all of these questions and more and will be as honest with you as possible.

I do have a confession, however. It's a secret I'm currently dealing with. I know I have to get a grip on it before it goes out of control. Here it is. Brace yourself.

I...

Wait...I think this might go over better in a "group" setting.

Hello, everyone. My name is Chrissy. And I...am a UST addict.

Yes, that's right. I'm obsessed with UST. I love this university like you wouldn't believe. From the professors, to the administration, to the clubs, sports, campus ministry, etc...I love it. My current catch phrase: "If UST were a person...I'd be stalking it!"

Scary? Yes.
Helpful? Definitely.
Could this be you one day? Let's hope. ;)

All joking aside, I truly do have a passion for the University of St. Thomas. I believe in it's mission. I believe in it's strong academics, it's unabashedly Catholic community, and most importantly, it's vivid and diverse campus life. In all things, the University of St. Thomas was the right fit for me.

The question I pose to you is this: Is the University of St. Thomas the right fit for you?

I hope it is. And I most certainly think it could be.

Welcome to my blog. I hope you find it helpful, and if there is anything you specifically ever want me to write about, please let me know. And don't ever feel like you can't contact me either by phone, email, AOL Instant Messanger (screen name: ustrocks1947), MSN messanger (same), Facebook, or Blogger. I am here to help you through this, and trust me when I say it is truly my pleasure to do so.

This is Chrissy, signing off.
GO CELTS!
