Dear faithful readers,
Sorry, it has been so long since the last blog post--things have been quite hectic around here! I took a walk around campus this morning, and it is so peaceful! Well, peaceful with the exception of some lawnmowers. Campus is so empty during the summer. It can be really nice, but kind of lonely at the same time.
The good news is is that we keep pretty busy getting ready for all of you incoming students this fall! We had a blast at admitted student advantage and that is just the beginning!
Until next time...

Sentiments on Finals
Finals in the springtime are the worst! There are just so many distractions: the weather outside is so beautiful, you haven't had a long break from classes since the summer before, and you have to plan for summer classes, work, internships, or traveling.
On top of all those things, you also have to move out of your apartment which involves not only packing, but also deep cleaning. I'm sure there are many other students who have had similar thoughts, "I really was much happier not knowing that there was moldy food behind my couch," which is inevitably followed by, "Maybe I can pretend like it wasn't there and let my roomie deal with it." Unfortunately, that strategy never seems to work as well as planned. Between the stress of deciding what to do with the things you accumulated over the semester (Why do text books have to be so large?!), and potential conflict with roomies over cleaning responsibilities, it seems like the bittersweetness of the situation manages to emerge nonetheless.
The year is over. Grades will be entered and it is time to move onto new things: experiences, adventures, and trials. Friends may be with you, but you also may part ways for a few months. Unless of course, it is the final year of finals, in which case life as you know it is over. A short walk across a stage, a handshake, a diploma, and you are expected to spread your wings and fly. Fortunately, the skills, knowledge, and friendships that have characterized the past four years will depart with you, as well, and those things will last a lifetime.

The Rockies
The Rocky Mountains aren't the only Rockies that we love here in Colorado. The almost world-series champs Colorado Rockies baseball team, isn't bad either. Okay, they haven't been playing that good this season, but we still like 'em. The good news is, is that if you are signed up for Admitted Student Advantage you can join us not only at a Colorado Rockies game, but also playing in the Rocky Mountains (as in whitewater rafting!).
Admitted Student Advantage is free for students who have been admitted to Colorado Christian University. Activities will include the aforementioned festivities, andalso a BBQ with current students, a night spent on campus, picking out your room, signing up for classes, finalizing financial aid, and meeting other incoming students!
To sign up, or for more details visit: the Admitted Student Advantage website.

Ah...Summer
It's true...the hints of summer have begun to appear here in Colorado. We have had gorgeous warm and sunny days. Unfortunately, the truth about springtime in Denver is that usually the hints of summer are just that. Which means that there are hints of winter still lingering, including snow showers after 80 degree days.
Along with the hints of summer, we have been working on the transfer open houses and still have two left to go. So, if you are a student thinking about transferring, this information is for you! The next two open houses are: May 15th from 1:00-4:00 and June 13th from 1:00- 4:00 as well. For more details you can visit our website.
