Freshman year, I was really idealistic about Goshen. I was enthralled with every aspect of the campus and really wanted to get involved. As a sophomore, that sense of excitement has decreased, as I realize more and more that I can't stay here forever! It's quite a sucky realization. There are SO many opportunities on Goshen's campus (and through programs with other colleges) like EXPLORE, a program that allows students to spend a summer in D.C. doing an internship, to Ministry Inquiry (which I'll probably do this summer), Maple Scholars, which I did last summer, and so many other clubs, activities, missions trips, etc. There is no possible way for me to do everything I want to do at Goshen. Sad day.

On top of that, there also isn't a way for me to participate in all the clubs and activities I want to, or to take all the classes I want to. While a part of me is tempted to mope at this realization, I see the benefits of it. I'm learning how to make choices! Finally. :-)

My friends and I have been having a blast here at Goshen. We have a wonderful Freshman class and a load of awesome sophomores, juniors and seniors. Come to Goshen, get to know us. :-)
