Emily Pineo 4/21/2021 5:00 AMFinal check-in! Wow, this month went so fast! And now we're almost to finals? Time passes weird on Zoom. -
Emily Pineo 4/20/2021 4:20 AMI think keeping the "work-life balance" reminder around for everyone as we move into finals would be helpful :P! -
Emily Pineo 4/19/2021 4:26 AMWow, can't believe we only have 3 more days of eco challenge- where did April go?! I guess time flies when you're being eco-friendly? -
Emily Pineo 4/18/2021 4:37 AMI've started just habitually doing a quick "de-clutter" of my room as soon as I get out of bed in the morning- hopefully that habit will stick when I don't have a reminder! :P -
Emily Pineo 4/17/2021 5:00 AMI can't believe the eco challenge is going to be over on Thursday! It doesn't feel like it's been that long yet. -
Emily Pineo 4/16/2021 3:58 AMThis eco challenge has been such a fun way to connect with everyone! Really looking forward to getting back on campus in the fall! -
Emily Pineo 4/15/2021 4:38 AMDoing this eco challenge with family and friends makes it so much more fun (and perhaps more competitive? :P)! It's also been great to hear from other eco reps at our meetings about how their eco challenges are going! -
Emily Pineo 4/14/2021 5:26 AMYesterday, I finished my zoom classes to find my family had acquired a jungle of new plants waiting to be planted and piles of new organic soil. Loving the warmer weather! -
Emily Pineo 4/13/2021 5:04 AMI'm so looking forward to next semester when we're all hopefully back on campus. I really want to get more involved with sustainability work at Dickinson, especially to get to see all my fellow Eco-Reps in person instead of on the computer! :P -
Emily Pineo 4/12/2021 6:14 AMIt's so nice to be reminded every day to be more mindful, especially as we get closer to finals!
