September Community Service: Baking for Our Furry Little Friends

For this month’s community service, we decided to get creative and do something a little different than we’ve done before. We baked dog treats for a local animal shelter! It was a lot of fun going to the grocery store to get the appropriate ingredients for the dog treats. Not only were we “on business” to find the right materials for this project, it was also a great way to spend some time with each other. With all the crazy schedules each of us have – work, school, extra-curriculars, etc. – it was nice to be able to catch up...

MVNCI Miss Social 2013

It seems like the first Meet and Greet was just yesterday, and here we are today, post-pageant and already reminiscing about this past weekend. The buzz and craze has yet to subside as I attempt to catch up on my personal life – school, work, and extra-curricular activities – and handle other stressful things like midterms and work deadlines. It’s back to the same daily routine things. Things definitely aren’t slowing down a single bit, but I think this is one of the beautiful things about MVNCI – it is an intercollegiate pageant. Although things might be hectic as of...
