The weekend around Grand Valley--

Well, it is definitely getting much colder here in Allendale; I even broke out the gloves today! This weekend we had our last regular season home football game! I didn't go to the game (the first one I have missed all season!) But I heard it was amazing! Because our football team usually wins all their games I was really surprised to hear that we were down at half time, but we pulled out a win! Off to the playoffs for the Lakers!!

This weekend was great, I did a lot of hanging around my townhouse watching movies and relaxing with friends. I didn't have a lot of homework (which is rare) so I took full advantage of not having a lot to do and stayed in sweat pants as long as I could during the day!

Right now I am in a comparative religions class and for one of the projects I have to compare two different religious services so I was able to go to those services this weekend with some friends. It was definitely an interesting experience; this class is turning out to be one of my favorites!

So, that's a little bit of what I did this weekend! Remember to start asking questions if you have any! I know I'm eagerly waiting to answer some of your questions! ~Jen~

HI THERE!

Hi!

My name is Leslie. I am a Senior and I have been working in Admissions at Grand Valley for 3 years. I am an Exercise Science major and I am going to graduate school for Occupational Therapy. I am from South Lyon which is on the east side of the state over by Ann Arbor. I am involved in the Pre-Occupational Therapy Club, intramural sports, and Campus Ministry. I chose to come to Grand Valley because as soon as I stepped on campus I felt a sense of community on campus. All the faculty and staff that I encountered to bent over backwards to help me out and get my questions answered. Since I have been a student here, this feeling has grown and grown. Being involved in a job and clubs on campus has exposed me to so many amazing people and experiences.

If you guys have any questions just let us know! We love talking to prospective students and sharing our experiences!

We will be blogging on a continual basis so keep checking up on this blog to see what is going on around campus and in our lives as students here!

THANKS! :)
