End of the Year: Blues or Happiness?

Hello RC community! Final exams are starting on WEDNESDAY! I hope you are ready for them. Don’t worry if you find yourself getting a bit overwhelmed though because it happens to all of us. If you feel that way, try to step outside and catch a breath of fresh air as the weather is so beautiful now! A little fresh air is always great for some stress relief.

I must say, the Lunch on the Lawn event from earlier today was by far the most fun event I’ve been to while at Rockford College! While all events here on campus turn out to be great times, Lunch on the Lawn was just everything you could want as a college student. Tons of free food was available, ranging from hot dogs and burgers to sno-cones and cotton candy. And to top it all off, there was lots of cool games, like Bungee Racing and an inflatable obstacle course. It was just a blast all-around.

Hopefully, the semester has turned out as you were anticipating it to. If not, there are plenty more semesters ahead to rebound and if you are a senior about to graduate, congratulations to you and good luck on your future endeavors! What are all of your plans for the summer? I am possibly going to be busy with an internship, but will definitely enjoy the extra time soaking up the sun and enjoying time with my girlfriend.

Good luck on your finals and I hope each of you gets the results you want!

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

Groundhog's Day, bring on the Spring!

Hello fellow RC friends! What do you know? We are already in the fourth week of the semester! I hope the semester is going well for you and that you are feeling comfortable with your classes and the college life in general. If you find yourself needing some motivation, look at the calendar! The month of January is behind us and we are getting closer every day to the arrival of spring! I don’t know about you guys, but I am happier when spring comes. Winter just doesn’t do it for me with all the bad roads and ice.

I think there is one depressing part about the arrival of spring, though. NO MORE FOOTBALL! I am a HUGE football fan, and it is always a challenge to get used to not throwing on my jersey and kicking back to relax and enjoy the Sunday afternoon games. At least the Super Bowl is quite the way to finish off each season with a bang! Speaking of Super Bowl, are you looking for something to do this Super Bowl Sunday? Then, join the fun in the Lion’s Den starting at 4 p.m. for the 2010 Rockford College Super Bowl Party! There will be plenty of FREE food and even prizes! What a way to celebrate the biggest sporting event of the year!

Right now, as always, we must remember our motto here at Rockford College, "Think. Act. Change Your World.” Our Student Government (SGA) is doing just that with the relief donations it has been collecting for the Haiti earthquake recovery. The SGA has been going all-out in trying to gather $1,000 to send to Haiti to assist in the recovery. It was such a terrible unexpected tragedy that happened there, and if such a disaster happened here, we would want others to help us. So if you have a few extra dollars to spare, consider donating to the SGA and doing a good deed for some people that definitely are in need in Haiti. The SGA sent out a campus-wide e-mail mentioning where and when the collections will be taking place throughout this week so be sure to be on the lookout for that.

In the mean time, I wish you good luck with the semester as it rolls on and remember to stay warm!

Until next time…

Jake
