This year I’ve had the awesome opportunity to live with some of the most fantastic people around campus: Faith, Sarah, and Ashlyn. Together we made for a unique blend of personalities which led to some riotous times! As the year is coming to an end, I find myself reflecting on the past eight months of [...]

Wait… did finals week come early?
April 2, 2012
— Life at Bethel
This past week has been cray-ZEE! Most of my friends (especially my roommates) will attest to the statement that I am a grade A procrastinator. If I have three weeks to complete something, I don’t think about it until the week it’s due. I know, it’s a habit that I’m attempting to break. Well, I [...]

— Life at Bethel
This year, I applied to be an RA for the 2012-13 school year. Much to my excitement I got accepted!! I was super super pumped when I got my e-mail saying that I had been chosen, but, you see, Bethel College Student Development is tricky when it comes to telling you which dorm you are [...]

March 19, 2012
— Life at Bethel
In an amazing historical marvel, Mishawaka has had FANTASTIC 70 degree weather all week! I realized that when the weather begins to get nice I suddenly complete my homework much earlier than usual so I have plenty of time to enjoy the sunshine. Since it has been so nice out, I decided to put together [...]

It was a dark and windy Thursday night. I had just hung up from talking on the phone with my dad and was on my way to library to work on a group project. I was crossing Bethel Circle as I texted my friend about my next Ambush target when I realized it… I didn’t [...]

Ready, Set, HOME!
February 27, 2012
— Life at Bethel
This semester has been awesome so far! I’ve loved all my classes/professors (even the hard classes like Standard English Grammar), have learned a LOT of things that I’ll need for teaching someday, have listened to some pretty spectacular chapel speakers, and have gotten to know some pretty legit people. With that said, I am SO [...]

As I’ve mentioned before in a previous blog or two, I have the awesome opportunity this year to work in the Service Learning Office. On Sunday, we had an event called Praise and Pancakes.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS!?

Picture this: I was walking through the AC after my Oral Interpretations class had ended, planning to go to the computer lab to finish printing the necessary documents for my education portfolio. I had just pulled out my phone to text my roommate about getting dinner when I saw it. It was only a glimpse [...]

Bethel Meal Plan Recipes
February 6, 2012
— Life at Bethel
As any college student can attest, meals are one of the best parts of the day. One of the great things about campus is that there are quite a few options as far as eateries go. However, sometimes you have a taste for something that can’t always be satisfied with the pickings at Sufficient: adventure. [...]

More Than Some Classes
January 30, 2012
— Life at Bethel
Today is a monumental Friday in history: I don’t want it to be the weekend. That’s right, you have officially heard (or rather, read) a current college student proclaim that she enjoys her classes so much that she wishes she had classes tomorrow. Yeah, I’m cool like that. I was sitting last night in my new favorite place [...]

I’m sure everyone can relate to this feeling: it’s Friday afternoon, you just got out of your last class for the day and even though you have a huge pile of homework to complete you decide that the best thing to do is to simply rest… and goof off for the weekend. Welcome to my [...]

It’s Friday night and you have a night of movie watching ahead of you. However, you get back to your awesome Lodge dorm/apartment when you realize, “Hey, you know… I don’t think I really want to watch a movie right now.” So what do you do? Re-arrange your room of course! Well, at least this [...]

As every college student will tell you, the end of finals week is more than an accomplishment; it’s a victory. In an epic battle against concepts learned in September, the Bethel student hopes to emerge victorious and reigning over all course content! And just like the Beowulf first fought many battles before defeating the dragon, so the [...]

Now that the craziness of Thanksgiving is over, it’s officially time to begin thinking about finals!

25 Ways to Tell You’re a Bethel Student…
December 2, 2011
— Funny & Life at Bethel
The other day I was sitting in the newly renovated DC (dining commons) with my friends enjoying lunch when we realized something. Bethel students are pretty special. We have our quirks, talents, and oddities that I believe work together to form a pretty neat individual. So without further delay, the list! You Know You’re a [...]

Block 5 Cook-Out!
November 6, 2011
— Life at Bethel
One of the best things about being a freshman at Bethel is being a part of freshman blocks. A block is basically a group of people who you have two of your general education classes with; for example, Written Communication and Exploring the Christian Faith. Then, there are two upperclassman mentors for each of the 12 [...]

— Life at Bethel
This has been an absolutely crazy week! My mom was pregnant and on Wednesday my dad informed me that mom was in the hospital ready to have the baby. It was earlier than any of us were expecting, but my family was ecstatic! So I quickly found all my professors to turn in papers that were [...]

Coming Back From Breaks
October 20, 2011
— Life at Bethel
Everybody loves breaks! This year it seemed like everyone I talked to was waaaaaaay ready for fall break. I know I was! After a couple midterms, countless papers, and multiple study-into-the-unglodly-hours-of-the-morning study sessions, I began to think fall break would never come! It was GREAT going home and seeing my friends and my ever expanding [...]

Surprising Sufficient Drinks
October 11, 2011
— Funny & Life at Bethel
A true Bethel student knows how to truly take advantage of their meal plan. They know that the number one way to do that is by getting a Sufficient Grounds drink after 7 o’clock using a meal swipe that you know you weren’t going to use anyways. Now, here’s the problem. A normal student gets [...]

I have been blessed with 3 beautiful wonderful roommates who put up me and all my silly tendencies. However, I’ve found the one thing that they simply can’t tolerate, and his name is Tom. I found Tom while shopping at Target on a roommate-autumn-decorating shopping trip. He was sitting in a bin all by his [...]
