Meet the Horses in the Western Barn

Hi friends! Aly here, today I wanted to give you a little sneak peck into the Western Barn at school. I was able to take pictures of 11 horses cause, the horses live a very busy life. On to the show we go!

The Best You, You Could Be is Yourself

I was told once that I could be anything I wanted to be so I was many things. I believed I could be a princess, a fashion designer, a cow girl, even a pop star. But when I got to high school I saw who I really wanted to be and that was myself. We all go through periods of who are we? What do we stand for? And things like that. But as I say, “The best you, you can be is yourself.”

Class Scheduling

Your first semester of college is coming up and pretty soon you get to meet with your advisor for the first time to make up your first schedule.  Scheduling your first semester can be exciting but you don’t want to overload yourself! You want to avoid having a stressful schedule.  So what are some things you should take into consideration when making your schedule?

College 4 Realz......A New Semester

You arrive on campus on a chilly day, your car full of bags and suitcases packed with a winter wardrobe, new textbooks and notepads, and random Christmas presents and snacks.  You tumble into your dorm room, arms burning from the weight of too many bags so you only have to make one trip. Friends reunite in the hallways, avoiding empty rooms of the students who have left the university, never to return. You then consider several options: A) rest up for the long day of classes tomorrow B) party it up with friends to celebrate the new semester C) meticulously organize your planner and make sure you can find your new classrooms D) curl up alone or with a buddy and Netflix until you fall asleep.

Meet Megan

Hey Guys! My name is Megan and I’m a 20 year old Sophomore here at William Woods University. I am majoring in Criminal Justice and minoring in American Sign Language and Business Administrations. I’m from Putnam County Missouri and we have a pretty funny mascot there, we are known as the Midgets. I also have a twin sister, which we do a lot of things together.

How I Use Planners In College

After a semester of college and a high school senior year crazy full I had tried so many planners and different organizational methods my mom thought I was crazy. But I finally found a way to organize all of my events, classes, homework assignments, and everything else going on in my crazy life and I wanted to share. Now, I will point out that while this works for me, it might not work for you at all, or maybe you just use this to tweak your system you already use.

 

Celebrate the holidays with us.......Christmas 2016

My Christmas started out as soon as I got home from college. I started making Christmas cookies and Christmas gifts and of course listening to Christmas music. As for actual Christmas celebration that started on Christmas Eve. My Deaf Sunday School class had its Christmas party from 3-4:45 where we just hung out, had hot chocolate, played games, and decorated cookies. Then at 5:00 we had our Christmas Eve service where I helped interpret some of the songs for the Deaf. When my family got home we watched ‘The Nativity Story’ and read ‘Christmas: On This Holy Night’ as we do every year. Not long after we went to bed.

My First Horse Show on Campus

As many of you know, I am an equestrian student at my college. I am taking a hunter/jumper class and a dressage class (trust me when I say double seating is not an easy task). In the number of years I have been riding, which is only about five, I have only competed in one dressage show. That is another story. However, it was a good experience for getting me into the show ring. The story I would like to share is the story of my first horse show on-campus. (By the way, both of the shows I have competed I have been schooling shows, which means they are not recognized shows.)

For those who aren’t familiar with dressage, I will take a few moments to explain how showing works. 

College 4 Realz...... Finals Week

After a lot of hard work, new experiences and a lot of fun, we have officially finished our first semester of college and now blissfully retreat to recuperate over a month long winter break. Also, now we have a good idea of what the dreaded Finals Week involves. When you think of college finals the first thing that comes to mind is stress, coffee and energy drinks, and pulling lots of all-nighters.

Celebrate the Holidays with us……..A College Christmas

Hey guys! I mentioned in the last celebrate the holidays with us that we had a Friendsgiving and that we knew we would have a Christmas party. We had this party on the 2^nd of December because that was the Friday before finals. Now this was a pretty big event for us and we wanted to share it with you!
