Well, I’m glad to be back….
The CU campus has never looked better in my opinion, and I have never been more excited for a school year than this year! The grounds look great, the grass is a vibrant green, lots of new faces, high hopes for academics, athletics, and extra-curriculars, and a great year in sight. I had a rather busy summer, getting married and all… (more…)
Contemplating my options once again, I was lost in the confusion of “WHAT DO I REALLY WANT TO DO THE REST OF MY LIFE?” - Well, this summer I came up with the grand idea to switch over to Special Education! That gave me some peace to know I have a secure plan and feel comfortable with my career choice.
This summer was THE BEST SUMMER OF MY LIFE as I went to India for my brother’s wedding, hung out with old friends/made some new ones, relaxed up north and got some down time with God. Yet for some reason I was not quite ready to go back to school after having such an amazing time. I was a little nervous! It is now my 5th(?) year at Concordia and I AM STILL NERVOUS???? Usually I was more than ecstatic to be back on campus, but this time I’ve been finally enjoying what life has to offer so I wasn’t so sure I was ready to leave that! It’s also been hard because my grandma’s boyfriend, YES - “BOYFRIEND” has been in and out of the hospital like crazy this year and not doing well. I did yard work for him on the side this summer once again and to leave him was incredibly difficult.
BUT, once I got back on campus I realized I have a ton of awesome friends here and it’s EXCITING to live in the cities!!! Plus it was also nice to be back on campus quite some time before classes and the stress began!
SO starting off the year right, a bunch of us guys went to Taylors Falls, MN! 
I realize that life can be so much more exciting if you just get out there, explore, and HAVE FUN!!! Good luck to all in the new school year, and remember to take some time to enjoy life!
Hey all. I’ve stuck it out with this thing. Sorta. School’s about to start and another round of Freshly Squeezed is here. I guess it’s time to do the obligatory “What I did this summer” essay.
I was a member of the student company of Theatre L’Homme Dieu, an old, rustic theatre on Lake L’Homme Dieu, which lies just outside of Alexandria, Minn. (It’s pronounced luh-HA-muh-dew; the French just gets butchered up north) There, I spent ten weeks acting, painting, building, eating, and some karaoke-ing. (more…)
