Getting back from Fall Break

SO we all just got back from Fall Break and I am pretty sure I can speak for everyone and say that it went by WAY too fast. I enjoyed the 5-day weekend, going home to see the family and old friends and to not have ANY homework to do for just a few days. BUT now it's back to the grind stone to get those grades the best they can be before Finals, which is crazy to think those are only a little over a month away. I got lots of work to do let me tell ya.

Let's see, recently I have been really focusing on my classes and grades because beginning of this year I think I ran Simpson College and all the extra-curricular stuff I was doing so I have cut back on that. I have a wedding to go to this weekend and my fraternity has a leadership school I am going to this weekend in Omaha, Nebraska, and between sorority formals, my formal, Thanksgiving coming up.....I got every weekend in November booked! That's crazy!

It's starting to get cold out here in Iowa now and I loving it! Leaves are turning colors, the smell of Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and the best part of all......snow could come at any time now!!!!! I love when it snows and all my fraternity brothers and girls from around campus get together and go sledding and such, it's alot of fun. Well the homework is screamin my name so I better roll out and I promise not to go three weeks without writing you again, life just gets a little crazy sometimes.

Peace out cub scouts!!!

Homecoming 07'

So last week was Simpson College's Homecoming and I was one of the two Homecoming Chairman! It was an extremely, busy, sleepless, stressful week but I have definitely have seen the benefits of it. I got to plan a car demolition, a powder puff football game, Olympics, Skits, and Yell Like Hell, which all went awesome!

It may seem really easy to coordinate all these things but it definitely tested many of my skills like oraganzing things, being responsible, and being a leader for myself and the people i was directing. I know I have grown from this experience and I am ready for a break! haha

I am sure there will be something else come up soon that will make me busy again, but for now, I am enjoying my down time!

Simpson vs. Central Rivalry

As you ALL probably know or at least should know is we play Central College next week for Homecoming! It's going to HUGE! We have planned so many events going on next week like Olympics and street painting to Skits and powder puff football! And we can not forget Yell Like Hell! We have also introduced something new this year called the Medallion Hunt which has a $250 cash prize if you find the medallion. That's pretty sweet.
Myself and Amanda Yanchury have worked extremely hard as Homecoming Chairmen to put together an awesome week! It's packed full of fun and smashing some tulips!
I hope I see all you Storm fans out there at all the events and definitely the football game on next Saturday!

GO STORM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why choose Simpson?

I think I have been asked this question at least a million times being a Student Ambassador so I felt I should share with you why I am so passionate about Simpson and some of the things I do here.

When your looking at schools to go to for college your obviously thinking about price, location, people, and all that good stuff. I toured all sorts of colleges my senior year and I never really felt as if it was for me. Simpson had been coming to my high school at least 2 or 3 times my senior year so I decided to go visit. As soon as I got there and walked into College Hall I just got this awesome feeling of being comfortable and relaxed and that's where it all starts really. When I finally made my decision to come to Simpson I based it on the fact that when I came here I got a sense from the student body that they were very passionate about the school and everything that went on, I also got that feeling from the administration as well as faculty. I LOVED the small class sizes and super nice professors that I knew I would get to know better with my four years at Simpson. I came back and visited again and it was no doubt in my mind that this was exactly where I wanted to be.

Since I have came here to Simpson I have gotten involved in the greek community. PRSSA (Public Relations Student Society of America), Jr. Greek recruitment chair, CAB, a Class Senator for Student Government, and Student Support Services. Not only have I obviously gotten smarter here at Simpson (we hope), I feel as if I have figured out who I am, somewhat, lol, as a person and have made the most amazing friends I have ever had. So when your lookiing for colleges, if you just seem to not be able to find the RIGHT ONE, keep lookin, it's definitely out there somewhere!

Greek Recruitment

So finally Formal Greek Recruitment is over with and my house and I can finally take a breather, for like a day. lol We ended up getting 13 new AWESOME guys through formal recruitment and I am so pumped to make them part of our house. It was a long, stressful three weeks but it definitely paid off in the end.

Midterm is coming up so catching up on lab homework, getting notes organized, and reading extra pages of my huge textbooks have become second nature to me. My sophomore year has already felt like it was going by way too fast. I have made some awesome new freshmen friends and the fun just continues to get better. Homecoming is coming up in two weeks and being Homecoming Chairman, that makes it a little stressful on me, but I love the pressure. College is one of those things that yo uwish could last forever, and at Simpson, forever even seems too short. Ya I know thats pretty mushy for me, but it just kinda falls out sometimes. Until next time, stay classy San Diego!

Love'n the weather....love'n Simpson!

So i know it's been about two weeks since I last blogged, but that's because it is so flippin awesome outside and campus is back into full swing! I have been spending alot of my time outside with my fraternity brothers playing frisbee, football, and anything else we can get our hands on. Formal Greek Recruitment starts tonight as well so that is definitely keepin me busy. I love being so busy, ya it takes a toll on me after awhile, but I got to live it up, college goes by way too fast!

I am also this years Homecoming Chairman so I have been working really hard to get Homecoming 07' to be an awesome week! Amanda Yanchury and I have been putting alot of hours into planning and changing Homecoming to make it more fun for everyone on campus! I have also been working really hard to Student Government and Campus Activity Board with just regular beginning of the year things. We just got done inducting the freshmen class student government officers and getting committee heads together for Homecoming.

It all sounds like a big mess and you're probably wondering how I do it all, well my nickname is Superman;) haha you figure it out! Until next time, peace out!!!

College is crazy....

So this week has been pretty stressful for me. It just seems like an overload of homework, work, extra curricular....it's crazy! But I guess I wouldn't really want it any other way.

Tonight is out first CAB (Campus Activity Board) meeting and Student Government meeting. I am really pumped to get this year started off and see what these two awesome organizations can do. I have had alot of freshmen tell me that they want to get involved but they're nervous too because they don't want to be overwhelmed. thats a good idea, but serious, it wouldnt be college if you didn't jam your schedule as full as you possibly could. Well I better role out and go do something productive......until next time....keep it real!
