- The Final Countdown
Mon, Apr 30, 2012
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 [...]

Mon, Apr 30, 2012
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 [...]

Fri, Apr 20, 2012
Recently last year I found out that I am going to be a block mentor next year! Bethel has groups of students that are in a block for their first semester. In the block you take the same two classes and also do activities with them. As a block mentor, I will be helping the [...]

Fri, Apr 20, 2012
ICRID–the Indiana Chapter of the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf–had their Annual Spring Retreat this past weekend. This, my Junior year, was my third time attending this wonderful retreat. While at this camp, you are not allowed to speak using your voice; you can only communicate using Sign Language…well, and all of the things [...]

Fri, Apr 20, 2012
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 [...]

Fri, Apr 20, 2012
I had the honor and pleasure to lead worship for Bethel’s Senior Showcase chapel on Friday. Here are a few things I realized or can I say, been reminded of. One, there are some absolutely incredible students on campus that pour in so much of their time to serve others and the college. I am [...]

Fri, Apr 20, 2012
I am in my last week as a Bethel student! What a great experience it has been! I have been blessed with so many great relationships over the past 4 years and most of those will extend way past Bethel College! The people at this school are so nice and helpful to me along my [...]

Fri, Apr 20, 2012
The hustle and bustle of the past few weeks has been amazing, stressful, interesting, rough, stimulating, challenging, entertaining, remarkable, thrilling, moving, and FUN. There are only a handful days left here and then its time for finals! After that, its back home for me. It’s not smooth sailing from here on out. I’ve still got [...]

Fri, Apr 20, 2012
What a crazy school year this has been. First semester being abroad, and then returning and taking the most insane class load I’ve ever had (22ish credit hours)… it has certainly been a lesson on trusting. But you know what? When I look back over this year, the thing that sticks out to me is [...]
- A Light At the End of the…Not Again!
Fri, Apr 20, 2012
Welp! Here I am again at the end of another semester stressed out and wanting to be in the arms of my mommy like nothing else. I’m not as crazy this go round since I learned a lot from my first week of finals, but can you blame me for wanting this to be over??? [...]

[insert dramatic music here] It’s that time of the semester again. Everything is due and I’m about ready to pull out my hair! But, I am determined to stay on top of things and not cry and curl up in the fetal position. That, however, is not the reason for this blog post. I am writing because [...]

Mon, Apr 2, 2012
This week in chapel we had a speaker come in and talked to us about goals. It was great to hear about a follower of Christ following his goals and aspirations. So many times we hear to strive for what WE want, but the speaker really pushed us to find our passions and aspirations through [...]

Mon, Apr 2, 2012
“There’s no place like home! There’s no place like home!” I’ve always loved this classic scene from the Wizard of Oz. I can’t tell you how many times in my travels to Canada, Mexico, Ukraine, Spain, and the Dominican Republic that I’ve wished for a magical pair of Ruby Slippers that could whisk me home [...]

Mon, Apr 2, 2012
I’m not going to say it’s my fault that i got sick this week, but I’m not not going to say it wasn’t. I think I was pushing the envelope a little bit with the way I’ve been dressing lately, and since the past week was so nice I’ve been dressing like its summer all [...]

Mon, Apr 2, 2012
The first half of this week was Deeper Life Conference at Bethel. We had chapel twice Monday and Tuesday (normally we only have one on Monday, Wednesday, Friday). There was a speaker named Les Beauchamp that gave talks for all of the chapels. One of my favorite parts about chapel at Bethel is they bring [...]

Mon, Apr 2, 2012
This year, I have had the fantastic opportunity of being the president of the Students for Life club here at Bethel. I think one of the most impacting things that I have done with the club is go and pray at the abortion clinic. I did this again yesterday which reminded me of a previous trip to [...]

Mon, Apr 2, 2012
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 [...]

Mon, Apr 2, 2012
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 [...]

Mon, Apr 2, 2012
On Friday, I celebrated my 22nd birthday! My roommates surprised me when I got back from work late Thursday night with 22 cupcakes and a basket full of goodies and a new scarf. It was so sweet of them. The rest of my Friday was spent in Indianapolis at a Writing Center conference with a few others tutors and our director. We [...]

Tue, Mar 27, 2012
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 [...]
