did you say it's almost SPRING BREAK

Well, it's almost been a full 7 weeks since I've been back from Christmas break, and time has flown by. I'm gearing up for semester tests and then it's time for SPRING BREAK -- OH YA!!! Bethany baseball and softball teams are beginning their seasons, and the outdoor track team has finally gotten some nice days to start their season. Campus is looking better each day, and everyone is anticipating the great changes to the weight room and football field.
Hope you can enjoy some of the nice weather outside and I will talk with you later....

crazy schedule, finishing up classes, practicum hours....getting into LAW SCHOOL = priceless

Hello all! Sorry it’s been so long since I’ve written. But I do at least have some good news—I got accepted to two law schools so far—Creighton University (Omaha, NE) and Washburn University (Topeka, KS). Needless to say it was quite a relief. This semester has started out being extremely crazy, because I’m graduating in 3 years instead of 4 I’m trying to finish up some last minute classes while doing my practicum. A practicum is basically an internship where you spend 40 hours a week in your selective field. Right now I’m working in the Saline County Attorney’s Office in Salina and also with the Lindsborg City Prosecutor. While doing these two jobs I spend a majority of my time in the courtroom which I’ve come to learn I really enjoy. Knowing that I probably want to end up spending time in the courtroom has help direct me to the type of law I want to study. I enjoy both jobs a lot and it gives me a hands on experience that I probably couldn’t get anywhere else. Another positive side is allowing me to make connections with people in the legal field that I may not have had a chance to otherwise. Other than that I’m anxiously anticipating graduation not because I’m ready to leave, I would stay forever if given the chance, just because that I’m anxious to begin the next step of my life. But I hope this note finds you well and that you’re having a wonderful end of winter and a great start to your spring!

A New Edition to : THE BLOG!

Hi Everyone!! My name is Claire Cole and I am freshman here at Bethany College. I am the new addition to the Blogger's page for BC! I grew up on a farm about five miles outside Kensington, KS which is located in the North Central part of the state! I just recently started working in the Admissions Office on campus and I really like it!! I am currently majoring in Business, either Accounting or Finance, I haven't quite decided which one yet! I also am part of the Women's Basketball Team! GO SWEDES! I have found that college life is really busy, but also really fun! I have also learned that the more you get involved in on Campus, the more fun you have! I know you guys are probably looking at several colleges right now and are wondering what Bethany has to offer you. What drew me here was first off the people! Everyone at Bethany is super nice and you always see a friend on campus!! Another pro about Bethany is the small class sizes. It really makes the classroom comfortable and makes for a good learning environment! I look forward to keeping all of you updated on what's happening on campus!
