Not every moment in college will be spent on campus. There are plenty of great ways to have fun off Messiah College’s campus while still staying within 15 minutes of the college. Some of the fun places I’ve visited: City Island, Harrisburg, Mechanicsburg, Dillsburg and many more! While the places may be familiar to most, the people and the moments make the mundane extraordinary, or at least memorable. I remember breaking into dance parties in glow of disco balls and laser lights while glow bowling or ghost hunting in the woods outside of campus, even though we never found anything supernatural. Midnight runs to diners or Wal-Mart to break the long nights spent working on papers, while on the surface unimpressive, made great memories for me. It’s the simple moments that often leave the biggest impact.
Don’t discount any moment as ordinary or you may miss out of the extraordinary!
