Hello everyone! My name is Aliza Warner and I’m a sophomore majoring in journalism with a minor in law studies. When I am not writing for The Powder Blue, I am also a writer for Square Magazine here on campus. In my free time, I love to read (a lot), spend time with friends and travel to new places. I am so glad to be a writer for The Powder Blue this semester and hope you enjoy this week’s newsletter!
Registration for winter intersession and spring classes is around the corner. Check your registration window on myOleMiss to make sure you know what day and time you can sign up for next semester’s courses.
