There is nothing quite like the first week of school. The mix of new people, schedules and responsibilities make it one of the most exhilarating weeks in a persons college career. My first week here was exactly like that. Not only was I in a new country, I was given the opportunity to meet people from all over the world and was being introduced to many new, exciting ideas and projects. During that first week I met some of my best friends and created bonds that will hopefully last for a very long time. The first week at Messiah is filled with activities that I would strongly encourage to every upcoming first year student to take advantage of. So to everyone who is about to begin their time at Messiah, don’t postpone getting involved. Start strong, you definitely won’t regret it.
