Busy weekend

Working hard(or hardly working) during the visit weekend
           This past weekend was a huge visit weekend for Coe College. Every time there is a visit day, it seems like the whole campus is busy helping host prospective students, give tours of campus and donate their time helping with registration for the large number of visitors. Personally, I love seeing all of the current Kohawks during big weekends like this. It would be easy for students to avoid the crowds and just hide in their rooms, but instead everyone is so friendly and willing to answer any questions our visitors have. Seeing this enthusiasm, I know that four years ago I made the right choice by coming to Coe.
 After a very hectic Saturday full of visitors, all of campus was quiet on the following Sunday. One awesome tradition that happens every Sunday is half priced wings. A few of us will spend every Sunday afternoon at a local restaurant getting a good deal on some great food! I love spending my Sunday's with some of the greatest people on campus, and am gonna miss this when I graduate!



Until The Next Adventure,

Last Semester!

           It is crazy to think that this is the beginning of my last semester ever as a college student. We are about 2 weeks in, and I am really enjoying all of the classes that I am taking. One awesome thing about Coe is that I have never just taken required classes. I have always tried to branch out and take classes that are not just Business or Environmental Studies related. This semester I am taking a class that focuses on the chemistry of food. I am a terrible science student, but am definitely benefiting from the small class sizes. There are only eight other students in my class, and it is nice having an instructor there making sure I don't pour the wrong chemicals together! 

Supporting Our Favorite Diver!

           
 It is cool that at a smaller school like Coe we as students are able to enjoy the small class sizes while still having the large support group at absolutely every campus event. This past weekend I went to support our swimming and diving team at one of their home meets, and then the following night I went with some friends to a Cedar Rapids RoughRiders hockey game in town.




RoughRiders Game

  I love the balance of small school in a big City, and I have been lucky enough to reap the benefits from being in Cedar Rapids for the past four years. I look forward to using my experience as I begin the next step after graduation in May!
