You know its family weekend when… The bookstore is buzzing with little siblings buying FU swag. You get adopted by your friends’ parents if yours can’t make the trip. The pace of cars is slowed by parents in awe of the beauty of this campus…or just confused by which traffic circle they are supposed to…Continue Reading You know it’s Family Weekend When…
Goals
Update on my life: I went to Atlanta to see my friend (and Furman’s greatest alum ever) stage manage her first big time show I saw Kesha at Clemson My fantasy football team has won the past 2 weeks, and people laughed at my decision to draft mostly Patriots players. But who’s laughing now? My…Continue Reading Goals
Immersion, Submersion
Yesterday, I got back from my first weekend away. I chose to visit London, partially for the Chipotle, partially for the Queen, but mostly because they speak English and I was tired of feeling like a toddler in situations that the average child could handle. Like buying ice cream and wondering why the word “cone”…Continue Reading Immersion, Submersion
Furman Greek Life
We’ve all heard the horror stories: once you’re in a sorority or fraternity, there’s no going back. Say “Goodbye!” to all of your non-Greek friends and DO NOT even think about being seen with people from other Greek organizations than your own. Luckily, from what I’ve seen so far during my time here at Furman, I…Continue Reading Furman Greek Life

Hold the door for the person behind you, or the person that you can see with the corner of your eye coming your way. Just hold the door always. Address people as “ma’ams” and “sirs”. Apologize for…Continue Reading A little bit (or a LOT) of me.
Back at Furman
Hey, my name is Gar. I am a junior Communication Studies and Computing & Applied Mathematics double major. To paraphrase Parks & Recreation, I like people, places, & things, and Furman is my favorite place in the world.

Prost!
Prost is the first new word I learned this semester, it means cheers, but just as important as its meaning, you must look whomever you are cheering with in the eye. This leads to me being terrified of breaking some unspoken cultural rule, so I make intense eye contact while forgetting to look at my…Continue Reading Prost!
I will choose to cherish.
