Let's Have Some S'mores!!
So last night I enjoyed hanging out with my Nyack family around a bonfire, talking, laughing, and making s'mores. The night was kind of chilly, but the fire sure warmed all of us up. The event was hosted by the Student Activities and it was fun seeing the Nyack family come together and enjoy some s'mores. Whenever I'm around a bonfire and roasting marshmallows and eating s'mores, I feel that times are a changing. The bonfire last night made me realize how I have only two more weeks left of school and that summer is around the corner. I am exciting for the summer, but will greatly miss my family here at Nyack. At other times I'll be around a bonfire towards the end of summer and that reminds me that summer is coming to an end and school is about to begin. Bonfires are so much fun for me. I love the smell of burning wood and smoke and feeling the warmth that comes from the flames. And of course the s'mores are always the best with the marshmallows, melting chocolate, and graham crackers. I'm so thankful that was able to enjoy last night with my Nyack family around a wonderful bonfire.

Gazebo Fun!!
The spring time means new life, the beautiful weather, flowers blooming, and on and on and on. One thing I love about Nyack College is the natural beauty. We get a sick view of the Hudson river and the mountains and the lush trees and grass. I am reminded daily of the wonderful Creator my God is when I wake up in the morning to the sunrise or when I walk around campus. Today is no exception. The weather today is so beautiful and I am finally able to go outside wearing shorts and a t-shirt with no jacket. As I walked around campus, I could hear the birds singing and the sun beating down on my face. Nyack has a gazebo and it is a great place to come and hang out with friends or sit in the blue and read "porch" chairs and look out to the river. Today a bunch of my friends all came out and hanged out in the gazebo. We were all just chillin and talking and one of the guys brought his guitar out and was playing and singing. This is Nyack right here. Friends coming out and spending time with each other. Some guys were throwing the frisbee and some others were climbing trees while others were just sitting and talking. I love Nyack, the community, the natural beauty, and the peacefulness. Enjoy the pictures below!

Intramurals, Intramurals!!!
I love sports and whenever I get the opportunity to play I will.
For the spring semester, Nyack created intramuals for the student body to participate in. They had the option to either form a team for basketball or a team for soccer and they were also co-ed.
I didn't pass up this great opportunity and got a team together for both basketball and soccer. Games have begun and the competition has been high. In basketball I am the only girl on my team and pretty much the whole league, but that doesn't stop me from playing hard and giving the other guys some competition. I have faced guys that are much taller and bigger than me, but I continue to challenge myself by working on my ball-handling skills and shooting. Being the point guard for my team isn't easy and I do make mistakes, but in the end we're all having fun and playing hard. For soccer, I'm the only girl on my team as well. There are more girls playing soccer, so I get excited when I see other girls show their skills amongst the guys. My position in soccer is the goalie and it's both fun and challenging. Since we're playing with the official size soccer goals, I got to cover more ground. Some goals have gone in while others have not. I already got a few turf burns from diving for balls. Win or lose, I play the game to have fun with my teammates and to create friendly competition with the other players. I'm so glad that we got intramurals here, so people like me can enjoy playing the sport they love with others.
On a side note, I'm also glad the weather has been getting warmer so I can spend more time outside and also go running.
Take advantage of the spring weather and go for a walk. Not only will it be good for you, but you'll never know how God can speak to you through his beautiful creation!
