The Final Countdown
April 30, 2012
— Life at Bethel
Now that you’ve read the title of this blog entry, have you gotten the song stuck in your head? If so, I’m sorry! It’s hard to believe I’m gearing up for finals. It seems so surreal to be heading into my senior year. It really does feel like I moved in to Bethel full of [...]

The week in retrospect
April 30, 2012
— Life at Bethel
Not a bad week! I started it out with lots of work. On Monday, I presented my final creative project in Mass Media, which came in the form of ten poems for a total of 32 pages! It was a big project, and my presentation took up a lot of time, but I felt really [...]

Quick week with a quicker week on its way
April 2, 2012
— Life at Bethel
So a couple noteworthy things happened this week. I got up to 34 MPH on a longboard! I went out with a couple of Bethel friends and pulled that one off. Not super notable, but interesting, nonetheless. Palm Sunday’s worship yesterday was great! I was encouraged and found some insights into Palm Sunday that I [...]

The week’s warm weather and a photo essay!
March 26, 2012
— Life at Bethel
Good afternoon, blog readers! This week has been a good one! Plenty of warm weather and good moods to go around. I got a chance to take some photos for the Beacon/my photojournalism class. I included them in a photo essay that I called “Signs of Spring.” If you’re part of the Bethel community and [...]

So I have some more interesting news! I am going to be racing in a skateboard slalom race put on by Bethel alum, Peter Metzger! It’s June 23 in South Bend, Indiana. I’m really stoked to go to the race and try my best. This will be my third race ever, and admittedly I’m [...]

A weekend away
March 19, 2012
— Travel
This weekend I went up with a couple different friends from Bethel to visit my brother in Kalamazoo, Michigan. He’s interning at a church up there in a pastoral position. I was actually born in Kalamazoo, so it was really cool to be able to go back again and see all the sights and [...]

Inspiration from a Communications class
February 27, 2012
— Life at Bethel
As I write this, the clock says 4:30 AM. For reasons unknown to me, I can’t sleep. Go figure. In any case, I decided “What better time to write a Bethel Blog?” We’ll see if my rambling has any coherence to it when I’m more awake. So Spring Break starts today. I’m extremely excited for [...]

Things are shaping up and winding down
February 20, 2012
— Life at Bethel
I am pleased to announce that this week has been MUCH better than last. Last week wasn’t bad per se, it’s just been a really good week this week. I got the chance to take some photos for the Beacon during the Battle of the Bands last night, and that was fun. The bands were [...]

Home for the weekend
February 15, 2012
— Life at Bethel
So the phrase “hold fast” is the name of the game this week. It’s been pretty eventful. I am working on designing a flyer for Orbit, the record shop that I am doing some public relations work with this semester. I have also written them a 30-second radio spot to use. It will air relatively [...]

Keep the plates spinning
February 9, 2012
— Life at Bethel & Work
I officially started work at the dining commons. I’m working in the dish room, putting everything away. It’s a lot harder than it looks! I like it pretty well, though. The people I work with are great. They’re very kind and understanding, and don’t mind helping me out when I don’t know where something goes. [...]

Take Ten and new work
January 30, 2012
— Life at Bethel
It has been a week full of changes! I’m potentially beginning work at the Dining Commons soon. I decided to make the switch, and I’m in the process of scheduling everything. I’m also looking into possibly helping out with some catering that the dining services may need some help with. I’m hoping for the best! [...]

“Classifieds” Art Gallery
January 23, 2012
— Life at Bethel
The Weaver Gallery, which is located in the chapel building at Bethel, hosted a local artist’s work. His name was Kevin Wadzinski, and I got the chance to stop by and look at his work. It was really cool! He used a lot of different media to create the pieces he had on display. Painting, [...]

Vinyl and photography
January 19, 2012
— Life at Bethel
So school is here, and I’m getting back into the full swing of things. It’s been nice to be back! Things will be a bit different this semester, as I am without my roommate from last semester, my brother. Though it’s a bit quieter in the dorm room without him, it is kinda nice to [...]

Finals week/Christmas is coming!
December 12, 2011
— Life at Bethel
The two things on my mind (as well as many other students, I’m sure…) are finals and Christmastime. Finals- Ahh! The busiest, most stressful time of the year is somehow also becoming the most enjoyable to me. Strange as it may (or may not) seem, I really love reflecting on what I’ve learned in each [...]

My first news article!
December 5, 2011
— Life at Bethel
Oh, one other exciting piece of news! I recently wrote a news article on a guy who unicycles here on campus. I submitted this story to the South Bend Tribune, and they agreed to run it in their community section! I was excited. I had my journalism professor look it over and give me a [...]

Thanksgiving/Wrapping up
November 29, 2011
— Life at Bethel
So here is my update as of late. Thanksgiving went great. It was nice to see my cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc. again. I am blessed to be able to say I honestly have a wonderful family. It’s great to see how God is working through each one, and it encourages me when I can [...]

Quick update.
November 21, 2011
— Life at Bethel
Well, it’s that time of year when everyone is scrambling to finish up projects, write papers, and study for finals. I am no exception! I’ve been working mostly on a final paper for Communication Theory, which is turning out pretty well, so far. And, as always, finding time to hang out with friends. This week, [...]

A matter of perspective
November 15, 2011
— Life at Bethel
I’ve become more and more interested in photography as of late! It’s been fun, walking around, shooting photos, pretending I know what I’m doing. I’ve scheduled classes for next semester, and among them is Digital Photography I. I’m really looking forward to it! I’m hoping that I can take photojournalism in the Fall of 2012, [...]

Delving into a new hobby
November 3, 2011
— Life at Bethel
The name of the game this week has been catching up. I’ve been working on homework and projects, but it’s been good. I got a chance to show up at “the Commies,” which is Bethel’s Communication department’s version of the Emmies. There were internships showcased throughout the night, interspersed with submissions from the “awkward video [...]

My weekly update
October 24, 2011
— Life at Bethel
So recapping an entire week can sometimes be difficult! I’m continuing work on the planning stages for my National Novel Writing Month. I’ve met someone who has participated in it last year, and so she’s able to give me some tips and whatnot. One thing she suggested was to not worry about the quality too [...]
