Hello from 2016 Class Presidents

Hello everyone!

Our names are Coco Wang and Chanel Williams and we’re excited that you’re visiting the Life After Bryn Mawr Blog. With graduation, and the real world, approaching, we hope that you find this blog helpful for providing tips on finding apartments, cooking, paying your bills and a lot more. There are also some comical aspects to the blog, because our transition out of Bryn Mawr should be fun, despite our concerns. We hope that you find this blog useful, and that you let us know if you have any questions that you would like to have answered, or ideas that you would like to see on the website.

We’re all in this together!

Letter from an Alumna: Cooking on a Budget

This week, we have a guest post from a 2014 graduate, Amanda Beardall! After Amanda graduated, she went on to serve as an AmeriCorps*VISTA member in Philadelphia, PA. She writes about her experience living at a poverty line salary and how she learned to budget for food. We hope to have posts each week so please send your submissions to bmclifehacks@gmail.com if this is something you’re interested in!

Postcards from Alumnae/i!

During the Volunteer Summit weekend on October 2-3, 2015, Mawrters past were asked: “What are three things you wish you knew before graduating?” We received some wonderful words of wisdom, so click here to check them out!

We invite everyone to write their own postcards!

Having handwritten notes from alumnae/i is really special and we are sure current Bryn Mawr seniors and other recent graduates will appreciate them. Here are several options for how to do this:

  1. If you are on campus, print out your own copy of the postcard (attached to this post) and then drop it off outside Rachel Heiser’s office located on the first floor of Guild.
  2. If you are not quite so close and would prefer to mail us a hard copy, print out the attached document and send it to:
    Jancy Munguia
    Canaday Library
    101 N. Merion Ave
    Bryn Mawr, PA 19010
  3. You can also print out the postcard, write on it, scan it and email it to us as a JPEG at bmclifehacks@gmail.com
