The best way to communicate with a fish is to drop

them a line.

If you throw a cat out a car window does it become

kitty litter?

I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger.

Then it hit me.

I used to have a fear of hurdles, but I got over it.

I could not pull out of my parking space, so I used

my back up plan.

Meet The Staff

Hey guys! I'm Becca and I'm the RA on the suite side of the 4th floor. I'm a senior this year and am so excited to graduate in the spring with a dual major in English Literature and Justice Studies, as well as two minors in Sociology and

Forensics. After college I aspire to catch criminals and/or write novels, as well as travel the world as much as possible. In my spare time I love to read, hike, go to concerts, and hang out with my dog Lucy. My goals for this year are to continue my miraculous streak of straight As, visit the Grand Canyon, and help create an awesome community in Handler Hall!

Hi everyone! My name's Dan, and I'm a Junior in CEPS, Computer Science major, and pretty much everything that you'd expect that goes along with that! I love books, movies, and webcomics of all kinds, am a super picky eater, and enjoy trying all sorts of new things, whatever they may be. I'm looking forward to an

awesome year with you cool crew of residents!

Hey Everyone

My name is Mitch Gustin and I am the RA on the fifth floor A.K.A “Da Penthouse”.

For a little background, I was born in Chicago and moved to New Hampshire before

first grade. I currently live in Nashua, NH and am a Junior majoring in History with

a minor in Psych and Classics. I am a member of the Air Force ROTC program here on

campus and also play a lot of intramurals. I look forward to meeting everyone and

hope you all have a fantastic year.

Monday 8/26 @ 9pm

Go Global! Discover Your International Potential at UNH this Fall

You heard about it during your campus tour. Maybe you

chose to come to UNH because your financial aid package

applies to all of our 500+ study abroad options in over 65

countries. Or maybe you were intrigued by the opportunity

to internationalize any major by adding on the International

Affairs (IA) Dual Major. Now is the time to visit the Center

for International Education (CIE), learn about the details

and start the process of internationalizing your UNH experience. Our friendly staff of advisors is

waiting to talk to you! We are located in Hood House 223—the brick building with the flags out

front next to the MUB (862-2398, study.abroad@unh.edu, www.international.affairs@unh.edu).

Upcoming events:

Study abroad info session (every Tuesday from 1-2pm in Murkland G17)

University Day on Tuesday , September 10th, 3:30 pm - 6:30 pm on Thompson Hall Lawn. Look

out for the CIE table (look for the colorful banner with countries and cities of the world!)

The first NH International Seminar of the semester (focusing on youth peacebuilding around

the world). Thursday, Sept. 19th, 12:40-2 pm, MUB Theater 1

“To be more confident, you need to give a

whole lot less of a sh*t about what other people think of you.” This is How:

Surviving What You Think You Can’t, by Augusten Burroughs

New beginnings can rattle a person’s confidence. Just remember that you

are here for you, and we admitted you to UNH because we know you

can achieve great things here. Conversely, not caring as much

about what other people think does not give us the license to treat others

poorly. So, do what you do, take care of each other, and milk this

place for all it is worth!

RANDOM STUDENT #1—Hey #2, I just found this new website that

lets me know if there is an available washer and dryer in our Res Hall

Laundry Room.

RANDOM STUDENT #2—No way #1, there can’t be a website for that?

CRAZY! But how do you know when a machine becomes available or

when to look back to check? Not to mention when one breaks down or

steals my money. I mean, I can’t really drag myself away from playing

Call of Duty every 5 minutes.

RS #1 — Well #2, the website lets you know down to the minute how

much time is left on each occupied machine, and you can report a prob-

lem too!! Not to forget to mention, there is a phone app that allows you

to set an alert for when a particular machine your interested in becomes

available.

RS #2—Woah! That is amazing. **Insert interesting commentary about

how it would be great to finally have an application that helps humans

find desirable, single humans or an alert system to let us know when

they become available!!**

RS #1 — Yeah! We can only hope and pray for that app to come along. . .
