I included them in a photo essay that I called “Signs of Spring.” If you’re part of the Bethel community and [...]

The rain clears away and the clouds begin to move on. The grass looks that much greener on this side of the fence. From meeting with a prospective interpreting major to working the play Steel Magnolias, I have had an interesting day. Looking out the window, the death of many by form of Ambush water guns [...]

Many times in our life we face adversity. When facing adversity it is not an easy thing to do. Regardless of how big or small the problem really is, when going through it the pain can be excruciating sometimes. At Bethel, and everywhere else, you see people going through a lot of pain and suffering. [...]

This week has been so stressful. I have endured pain on just about every level. I worked out and had some injuries, I was challenged mentally because I’m pretty sure I was assigned the most homework this semester. And to top it all off, I had to encounter the death of a beloved family friend [...]

As I mentioned in my last post it’s a busy season, and in this busy season I have found myself focused on more than just school work. See, I am graduating in approximately a month, and as much as I would love to move back home (I’m kidding), I’m preparing to also find a full [...]

Tonight we had a choir concert at Granger Missionary Church. It was a lovely concert, it went well, and the congregation was very welcoming. We also had four Steel Magnolias performances and strike this weekend. Because I was involved in both of those things, it was a good but very long weekend and I was [...]

In March in Northern Indiana it is a rare occurrence to see the sun. It is normally still chilly from the winter but this year is something special! The weather has been in the mid 70′s since Bethel College’s spring break. Students at Bethel have really been taking advantage of the warm weather. When you walk around [...]

It’s the final countdown! Well, not really. But the days are quickly dwindling down until the completion of my first year here at Bethel College. It’s surreal, actually. It seems like just yesterday when I was jumping up and down in my kitchen with my acceptance letter in hand. All that aside, there are just [...]

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 [...]

Wed, Mar 14, 2012
It’s spring time at Bethel, and you know what that means! Time to bust out the tank-tops and shorts and lay in the grass by the pond. Time to blow bubbles on your back porch with your roommates. Time to do your homework OUTSIDE. I love spring at Bethel. One of my favorite things about [...]

I recently got back from my Spring Break in Atlanta! I thought I’d share with you a quick story about one of my favorite parts. First of all, the teammate that I stayed with has VERY Brazilian parents, so right away I knew I had to brush up on my Portuguese because I was going to be surrounded [...]

As Spring Break drew to a close, I found myself immediately thinking about the deadlines and projects that i would have to encounter. Almost instantly, I became frantic and started stressing out and freaking out over my ever growing to do list. I knew that I was going to have to calm down and relax [...]
