ASB “Hangin’ Around” in Kyle, South Dakota and Area
Mar. 23, 2012—*Co-authored by Samantha Orland* For Alternative Spring Break this year, we went to Kyle, South Dakota to live on the Pine Ridge reservation of the Lakota Sioux and to assist in a local elementary school.

“Cowboy, Take Me Away” – Thoughts after Spring Break
Mar. 22, 2010—(In response to “Thoughts Before Spring Break”) It’s just about a week after Spring break and I’m sitting in Rand dining hall with three new friends friends – people that I hadn’t known at the beginning of the month.
