I love it when...
Northwest has a textbook rental program. Students rent their textbooks for around $7 a credit hour. For a semester of books at Northwest, it usually costs around $90 as opposed to the $500-$600 dollars students spend at other universities.
The best part is this: a couple days before classes start your books are waiting for you at textbook services in a brown paper bag. Right author and right edition.
You are set for your first day of classes.
After finals, you take your books back to textbook services and drop them off.
Well…this concludes my blog posts for the school year, make sure to check back next year to see my final semester in action! If you want to continue to see my happenings you can visit my personal blog at www.angelawasko.blogspot.com
Happy Summer!

Feels Like Home To Me
When I first started college, I was nervous to be moving from "The Hawkeye State" to the "Show-Me-State"
It was a hard decision to not attend college in the state of Iowa. I was the ONLY one going to Northwest from my high school. I had spent the past 18 years of my life in Iowa, the place I called home. To change this lifestyle was scary.
The day I moved to college, I was sick to my stomach. I cried on my bed and told my mom I thought I was making a mistake.
My mom convinced me that "no matter where you go, there will always be great people."
Gosh, she is so right.
Today, as I was driving back from Iowa I realized that Northwest is my current 'home.' In my three years at Northwest I have made so many friends and had many wonderful experiences. I smile from ear to ear when I think about the memories I have made with my friends. I am so thankful for having professors that I can talk to about my homework and my personal life.
Now, I'm not going to lie to you. I was hardcore homesick my freshman year of college. There would be nights I would cry myself to sleep and days I thought about transferring.
With the help of friends and a willing attitude, I made Northwest my home. I made it a place where I belonged and where I felt needed.
Tomorrow night, is the last time I sign up for classes. Crazy, huh?
Stay tuned to see what "Welcome Sign" I will be standing in front of next.
