Where in the World (or Midwest) Was Lawrence Over Reading Period?

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Lawrence chapter.

Mattie Young-Burns ’12 visited her sister over this past reading period. She was in Richmond, Indiana at Earlham College with her 22 year old sister Kiah Young-Burns! She spent the weekend at Earlham’s school farm where Kiah lives. Her farm has chickens, goats, and a garden and all of the members lives communally to support the projects. 

Mattie also offered up some advice on how to pick up a chicken, “in order to pick up a chicken you have to chase it around the chicken coop for a long time, probably looking a little crazy, and then you have to hold the wings down so it doesn’t escape!”

Sounds like you had a wild reading period! Thanks for the advice Mattie!

Annie Kaiser is a senior economics and government major at Lawrence University. Happily born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Annie also has been called a "nomad" by her friends. In the past two years she has lived on both coasts, spending a year at school in Claremont, California and living in Georgetown for a summer internship with a political web-blog in Alexandria, Virginia. She played Varsity basketball and soccer throughout college, and has decided boxing will be her go-to workout after her collegiate athletic retirement. Annie's favorite activities include dining in fine restaurants, debating about politics, memorizing the presidents in order, painting, keeping up with celeb gossip, seatfiling at award shows, making lists of interesting words, and reading classic novels. She can not get enough of Jack Johnson music, new challenges, and Chuck Bass. Her motto: put your mind to it, and do it.
