Well soon campus will once again fill up with all the students, returning from their long labor day weekend. I know I enjoyed visiting with my parents. It's nice that we go back two weeks before labor day. I think most Michigan schools (where I'm from) don't go back until the Tuesday after labor day, but the way Trine does it, we get to go through two weeks of classes and then take a short break. I remember how great it was when I was a freshman because I had just enough time away from home, in a new place, to get used to college, but then I could go home and talk with my parents and see my home again. It works out really well.
The fall sports season has started. The Thunder football team, which was ranked #21, defeated Manchester College 24-13 last Thursday at Manchester. Trine started off the scoring with a touchdown and extra point off an interception return. The score was 24-7 at the half and Manchester ended the scoring in the fourth quarter with a touchdown, but missed the extra point. Next Saturday, we'll take on Bluffton University for our first home game! That's always one of the most exciting times of the semester. Homecoming is at the end of the month so that will be really exciting too. Field hockey, soccer, volleyball, and cross country have all started up as well, so it will be interesting to see how their seasons start out.
Recently, career services held their part-time job fair, where students could check out all the different work study job on campus. That's a great opportunity for students to see what opportunities they have to earn a little extra money to help with their needs, like working in the library, at the newspaper or the radio station, help out with athletics, or in one of the numerous offices on campus. If you are work study eligible, Trine gives you a lot of different opportunities to get some experience on campus and also learn some valuable real world work experience.
Well, I'm off to have some lunch with my parents before I head back to campus.
~Til next time,
Sarah
