Going By So Fast...


Three and a half weeks left? Are you sure? Coming back from Easter Break it seems crazy that we only have a few weeks of classes left, then we take finals and call it a year. This year has absolutely flown by and I cannot believe that I am going to be a senior next year. A girl on my floor my first year that was a senior told us that every year goes faster and so far she has been exactly right. College is so much fun and flies by in a way that I can hardly put into words. I am going to work hard to soak up the next few weeks and gear up for what is shaping up to be an amazing summer.
The day of graduation me and 10 other people are leaving for Detroit and flying out the next day for 3 weeks in Trinidad. This is for our cross-cultural trip for our general education here at Bluffton. Some students choose to take a few classes of a foreign language, but the majority of students on Bluffton’s campus take the trips. In May students from Bluffton will depart on trips all across the world. There are trips to China, Trinidad, Mississippi, etc. this year and everyone is anxious to see what kinds of experiences we will have as we head into another culture. I know that Trinidad is going to be a life-changing trip and I cannot wait for that. We have been waiting for it for so long, I cannot believe it is only 4 weeks away!
Life is crazy on campus these days. Everyone is in crunch time for papers and projects that will be due in the next few weeks. We are all itching for the summertime and ready to take a break from classes. It will be a busy last few weeks, but exciting at the same time.
I hope you are doing well, too. Come and visit Bluffton – it is an amazing place!
Until next time,
Mary
