My Life at MU

A Much Needed Break

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and I bring wishes of a Happy New Year.  Christmas break was much needed for me, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.  Sadly, there's only a little more than a week left until classes start again.  Spring semester is sure to be a lot harder for me than the Fall, but I'm ready for the challenge!  I'll have Organic Chemistry II, Cellular Physiology, Molecular Biology, Honors Seminar, and Fitness and Nutrition.  I'm excited about the three science classes, but I know I'll end up kicking myself part way into the semester. 

My surgery went very well and I've started more treatment for my illness.  I'm noticing a little bit of improvement, hopefully there will be more to come!  I just have to remember to be optomistic.  A little bit of optomism goes a LONG way!

I hope you all have a wonderful semester!

Christmas Break

     After I finished my last final, other students and myself said good bye to some graduating seniors. On December 8^th family and friends gathered in the gymnasium to celebrate the graduates of Fall 2007. Then we all packed and went our separate ways for our Christmas Breaks.  I have returned home to Pennsylvania where I am spending my holidays with my friends and family.   

I wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year. - Samantha

   

Fayetteville Christmas Parade

        The 2007 Methodist University Homecoming Queen and Ms. Methodist road along with the International Club through downtown Fayetteville sharing their Christmas spirit.  This year the International Club from Methodist University created a beautiful float for the Fayetteville Christmas Parade.  They decorated their float with their Countries’ flags and a backdrop that read “Peace on Earth.”  King (the MU mascot) and Methodist Cheerleaders led the float with big smiles and school spirit.  - Samantha

Christmas

It is that time again, Christmas!!!  This is my favorite time of year.  We, as college students have waited for this point in time for a while.  Several important things happen this time each year.  One is that we must take our finals in our classes.  Second, we get to go home after our exams and see family members or friends that we have not been able to see in a while.  Lastly, we must say goodbye to seniors who are graduating this semester.  For the most part, I think that we have all enjoyed this semester and all of the challenges that it has brought us.  I am sure that next semester will be even better than this one!! - Chris

MU Students Volunteer

Methodist University has been shining with kindness this semester.  Students have been volunteering hours of their time and donating food and presents to the less fortunate.  It all started with the Student Athlete Advisory Council collecting cans for the annual “Cans across the Conference.” This year Methodist came in 6^th place in the conference by collecting 1,509 canned goods.  Then, students cut wood for the needy at the Jesse Smith Memorial Woodcutting.  This project is my favorite.  I really enjoy delivering stacks of wood to families all over Fayetteville.  Another project at Methodist University was the “Operation Christmas Child – A Project of Samaritan’s Purse.”   Methodist served as a popular drop-off site for the organization.  Students and volunteers collected, boxed, and shipped shoeboxes filled with toys and personal items for children all over the world.  These events are just some of the great things students at Methodist University are doing for the community and the less fortunate. - Samantha
