It’s a Whole New World
My first week at Messiah was an explosion of sensations, thoughts, and activities. I still remember the first day as my parents helped to get me into my dorm. That day I met my roommate, my first RA, and my other floormates. That night was the candlelight service and then before I knew it I [...]

Roommate…
While I did not go through the “normal” process of getting a roommate, because I am on the wrestling team here at Messiah, we were still placed together not knowing each other previously. It was strange to think that I would be living a whole year with someone I did not know, and maybe would [...]

Union? Cool.
Hey, everyone!
So you know what I really enjoy? Larsen Student Union, that’s what! If you’re ever tired of Lottie food (cafeteria food can only take you so far), a burger, wrap, or a Buffalo Chicken pizza (so good) at the Union is just what you need. The food is great, and it’s [...]

All Around Us
My favorite place on campus, especially during the early fall and late spring, is the swinging bridge. I could sit on that bridge with my feet dangling over the edge and look down the Yellow Breeches Creek for hours. It’s amazing that the bridge is so close to campus, yet it offers an area of [...]

1st Year Dorms
Hi everyone!
So, as you might know, incoming first-years to Messiah get placed in a first-year dorm. During my first year, I lived in Hess, and I really loved it. I have this giant, ugly book-print couch and it fit great. The space seemed like more than enough. My sophomore year, I [...]

The Sun’ll Come Out…
After three days of starting summer work in the rain, the sun has finally emerged! Picturing prospective students touring a dreary campus was a sad thought, because Messiah is one of the most beautiful places I’ve seen. Luckily for our tours, the sun did come out today and at least one prospective students got a [...]

Owning the Journey
Today, I gave my first solo tour to a delightful prospective student to also happened to be my boss Janelle. At first, I was pretty nervous but it slowly became comforatble and I think this was mainly because I begun to experince a certain ownership of Messiah. I know I don’t [...]

Alternate Chapel Inspiration
As you may know Messiah has mandatory chapel every Tuesday and Thursday. Then throughout the year they have several Alternate Chapels that students can attend to reach their quota for chapel. Yesterday’s Chapel in Brubaker was amazing. We had a speaker named Stephen Gallagher who spoke about forgiveness and how it’s hard for some people [...]

Professors at Messiah
Something that I have really cherished during my time at Messiah is my relationship with faculty. With a student-faculty ratio of 13:1 and class sizes averaging at about 25 students, it is easy to get to know your professors. My Christian Spirituality teacher had us meet in the cafeteria for our last class. [...]

The Importance of Being a Team
As my first year at Messiah College comes to an end I begin to look back and evaluate what I enjoyed most about this year and what I would like to change in the years to come. One of the things I enjoyed the most was becoming part of the different clubs on campus. I [...]
