If you could change one thing about your experience at Muhlenberg, what would it be?
Issue date: 9/27/07 Section: Focus
Muhlenberg is such a small, close knit community. As freshmen, we tend to find one group that makes us comfortable and we never venture beyond them to meet others who we can form valuable bonds with. I think it is important to at least know the first name of as many people as you can. This way, if some day you're sitting in a meeting with them or walking past them on the street, you'll be able to recognize a familiar face. It is a new year at Muhlenberg. In the light of the new opportunities presenting themselves to me now, I intend on seizing the chance to meet more of the interesting people gracing our campus and I encourage everyone to do the same. To the first years, I say don't be afraid to try new things or to start a conversation with the person sitting next to you twice a week in a class. Creating bonds with more people can easily be done here. Join some new organizations. Make your presence known. Make a difference on this campus. Of course the only way to do this effectively is to know as many people as you can. Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone - do something new. Expand your horizons. To some reading this, it may seem that I am unhappy with the friends I have made. This is the furthest thing from the truth. I love my friends dearly, but I am ready to welcome more people into my life and to form new bonds.

If I could change one thing about my experience at Muhlenberg, it would be continuing to live with my roommate from freshman year. That though is a rant for another day. In all seriousness, it is hard to say what I would change about my experience at Muhlenberg because except for the fact that I could have made life for myself here a lot easier, I cannot think of anything I would have done differently. I knew that Muhlenberg was the place for me the first time I stepped on the campus the summer before senior year of high school. Coming to college totally undecided as to what I wanted to major in, I knew that this small liberal arts school would allow me to really find my interest.
