Starting the Wave at Acorn
September 23, 2011
— Life at Bethel
I love lunch on Monday’s, Wednesday’s, and Friday’s. Why is that, you ask? Because every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I join with a bazillion other Bethel students and go to the Acorn. There’s something much more wonderful about MWF lunches at Acorn compared to Tuesday/Thursday lunches. Maybe it’s the left over energy from chapel. Maybe it’s the [...]

Bethel: Summer vs. Autumn
September 19, 2011
— Life at Bethel
The air is crisp. The ponds are sparkling. The classes are new. The freshman are… fresh. Yep, this is the start of a new year! I’m proud to say that I made it through freshman year! Not only did I make it through with good grades, great friends, and amazing memories, but I was even [...]

Good-bye Shupe…
April 30, 2011
— Life at Bethel
Last night was my very last night of sleeping in Shupe 218. It’s kinda bittersweet because I’m REALLY excited for the summer and the break from all the homework and stress of the school year, but it was also an amazing experience to live in Shupe and I’ve met the most fantastic people. Some of the [...]

Welcome back, PacRim Team!
April 19, 2011
— Life at Bethel
There is this concept in psychology about mental arousal. If you have too little arousal (ie: sitting in your dorm bored out of your mind) and take a test, you won’t do well. However, if you’re over aroused (ie: your best friend will be home from a 3 1/2 month trip in a matter of [...]

We’re coming to the end…
April 17, 2011
— Life at Bethel
We are entering into the last week (which is only a half week) of normal classes of the entire year! Whoa! Where did this year go? I move out on the Saturday of finals week, so that means I have only eleven full days left of living on campus before school lets out for summer. [...]

A Blog about a Blog?
April 6, 2011
— Life at Bethel
Do you ever get the feeling that you just wish you could look into an average Bethel student’s mind? Do you ever wish it was from the perspective of two very knowledgable, witty, and sarcastic current students? Consider it done. http://stuffbethelstudentslike.wordpress.com/ Yep. Just as awesome as it looks.

Birds at Bethel
April 2, 2011
— Funny & Life at Bethel
It’s Saturday afternoon and I’m sitting in the library and enjoying my productivity immensely. I looked up through the window at the peaceful pond and came to a sudden realization: there’s a lot of different fowl here at Bethel. This thought occurred mostly because I saw an interesting looking bird that I had never before seen in [...]

Study Fail
March 29, 2011
— Life at Bethel
The last day of classes is only three and a half weeks away! As I expected, the work load has really picked up. Since the amount of homework and projects due is increasing, it’s important that you plan your homework completing adventures (as I like to call them) carefully. Tonight serves as an example of [...]

My Best Friend! :)
March 18, 2011
— Life at Bethel
I had the wonderful surprise of chatting with my best friend twice this week! For most people, this is a normal occurrence, but my best friend has been gone all semester on the Pacific Rim trip that Bethel offers. She has been having an amazing time and it’s so fun to hear about all the crazy [...]

An Unfourtunate Event
March 15, 2011
— Life at Bethel
Monday, March 14, 2011 will forever be the day I was Ambushed. I can’t say I didn’t see it coming. I had been in the game for exactly one week… I was living on borrowed time. I had just spent the evening staking out my guy, trying to ambush him during one of the few hours [...]

Shupe Week!
March 13, 2011
— Life at Bethel
I am super duper excited!! You know why?? It’s the first ever Shupe Week! What is Shupe Week, you ask? Well, allow me to explain! Oakwood has an event called Dude Week which is when they give up technology for a week and bond with their Oakwood brothers. This led to some Shupsters asking, “Why don’t we have a Chick Week?” Enter [...]

Ambush… let the paranoia begin!
March 11, 2011
— Life at Bethel
Monday started Ambush. For those of you who don’t know what Ambush is, it’s a campus wide game involving squirt guns and lots of sneaking around. First, you sign up. Then you pick up a packet that includes a tiny squirt gun, rules and a name. The name that you get in your packet is [...]

Spring Break!
February 27, 2011
— Life at Bethel
I am so excited to finally be on spring break! As I type, I am sitting in the house I grew up in, saying good-night to my little siblings, smelling my dad’s home-made sausage (of which mom insists there’s too much garlic in), hearing the rustle and bustle of kids, and waiting to hang out [...]

Battle of the Bands and Prospective Student!
February 22, 2011
— Funny & Life at Bethel
I have discovered a truly beautiful activity on Bethel’s campus: Battle of the Bands– Bethel Style! On Friday night Bethel students gathered in the ER (Everest-Rohrer Fine Arts/Chapel building) for some music, entertainment, and fun! The night started with a line-up of 4 bands. Each band performed one cover and an original piece and at the [...]

Not a normal Wednesday
February 17, 2011
— Life at Bethel
^ This is a snap shot of the screen that shows that the online streaming of chapel was viewed yesterday by around 3,000 people! It was uploaded Thursday by Bethel College’s Facebook page. There was nothing really special about the morning of Wednesday, February 16th, 2011. No one woke up thinking, “Today is the day!” No [...]

FORE!!… Library Golf!
February 8, 2011
— Life at Bethel
Some schools have golf teams (Bethel included in this). Some schools have a golf course. But some schools are cool enough to play golf in the library. Enter, Bethel. I’m a huge fan of both the library and having fun so I was beyond thrilled when I was presented with the opportunity to have both! Student Council [...]

Sick @ Bethel…
January 30, 2011
— Life at Bethel
Roommate and I in the midst of being sick. We look more pathetic than we feel. You know, irony really is the best of all comic relief. Literally one day after I posted a blog about enjoying that weather, I learned that the sick I was feeling a little bit last week turned into a case of [...]

Wintery Weather
January 27, 2011
— Life at Bethel
I realized today that I haven’t blogged in a really long time, and then I remembered why: Bethel is a frozen tundra! I don’t like to complain about the weather, but it’s getting a little ridiculous. In my opinion, 20 degrees should not be considered “warming up”! Although, I must confess that this weather hasn’t [...]

Auditions…ish
January 20, 2011
— Funny & Life at Bethel
I was really excited to hear that the Bethel theatre department was going to be putting on The Importance of Being Earnest. I’m a huge fan of anything comic, so I’m so excited to be able to go see this! Actually, I was so excited that I tried auditioning for it! However, it didn’t go [...]

Another day at Bethel
January 13, 2011
— Funny
You know, I always think I’m so clever until I realize… I’m not. I’m always looking for ways to avoid going back to my dorm, Shupe, because I really don’t like walking about in this frigid weather. So I thought I’d be on top of my game and plan out my back pack so I [...]
