Hey guys! The rush of the semester is in full force and it seems like it has been since day one about a month ago! I wonder if your schedule is as packed as mine! I ended up adding another course and am up to 18 credit hours again! It is a course I need to have fulfilled by the time I graduate next spring.  I am also working here on campus part-time and at another job part-time, but nobody ever said life as a college student is easy! While it may be more stress now, I just look at it as though it will be less stress later!

I can't believe we are already in the middle of February. I have been so thrown off not only because this month goes by so fast with the less amount of days, but also just because of how busy I've been! I literally woke up this morning and for some strange reason, thought it was Sunday or Monday!

There is always some time to have fun, though! I recently started getting back into the sport of hockey. It is really a good sport to hold yourself over with until the NFL season starts if you are like me and are a football fan. I also enjoy a lot of quality time with my fiancee.

I hope that the semester is continually going well for you and that you find yourself continually enjoying the Regent Life!

Until next time...

Jake

Back in Business!

Hey fellow Regents! A new academic year is beyond us! It seems like summer went by so fast that it was just yesterday that we were here studying away! Time is deceiving, though, and it actually is the 2010-11 school year. The shock has especially hit me as I am now over halfway through my Rockford College experience and have officially started my junior year here!

I hope that you're enjoying it so far. If you're a new Regent, perhaps you've had some difficulty finding your way around campus here and there, but I'm sure that has just about become a thing of the past now! There are always many helpful individuals on this campus that are happy to help with anything if you have trouble! I find that this college is truthfully full of some of the nicest people you'll ever meet.

How are your classes so far? Mine are pretty good, but they will definitely be keeping me on my toes as I am taking a full course load of 18 credit hours! Chances are you probably do not have a class in the new 5100 State Street classroom building, but even if you don't, you should definitely check it out! I lucked out to have a class in there and everything in that building is SUPER nice! The carpeting, the heavy wooden doors, the comfortable chairs, all make the atmosphere there just feel really neat!

We definitely have some cool events in store for this semester! Looking down the road, Student Activities has a weekend trip planned to the Mall of America this December! That should be a great way to relieve stress then since it will be around finals time. It will honestly be one of the coolest events I've seen yet here at RC! There also is going to be an interest Forum Event by Amber Madison talking about relationships next week! Keep in mind that you need to attend two of those per semester to satisfy graduation requirements. Why not get one in early?!

I wish you good luck and start as the semester has begun!

Until next time...

Jake

Spring Joy!

Greetings fellow Regents and soon-to-be Regents! Long time no talk! Is it just me, or has this semester seemed to go by as fast as time can possibly fly? The weather has begun to get nice again and we only have about five weeks left until final exams! Hang in there, it will be worth it in the end. If you still find yourself getting burned out, just go outside and get a brief whiff of fresh air!

With the spring season blooming around us, it means that baseball is back in action! The Regents men’s baseball and women’s softball teams both have great expectations for this season and will be frequently playing on campus throughout the rest of the semester. So be sure to catch some of their action when you get a chance!

As the outdoors are becoming much more suitable, now is a great time to get involved in the community as well! As always, the JACCE has been following our most famous alum, Jane Addams’, model in positively impacting the lives of others. If you are interested, keep an eye out for one of the JACCE’s Service Thursdays as the series provides a wonderful opportunity to play the role of Jane Addams throughout the area and in many different ways!

I wish you success and happiness as the semester is nearing its end! Keep it all going!

Until next time…

Jake
