7 Reasons Why Morningside is Amazing

7 Reasons Why Morningside is Amazing
Council of Independent Colleges

We are blessed with an amazing school, and here are a few reasons why!

1. Campus is BEAUTIFUL

Seriously, look at this picture.


It makes walking to class so much easier when you have this to look at on the way!

2. We own the GPAC in athletics

We've won the GPAC All Sports Trophy four out of the last five years. This year alone, we won the conference in football, women's soccer, women's basketball, softball, baseball, and women's tennis.

3. Our president is AWESOME

President John Reynders is one of the most sincere and generous people. A few of my friends and I were in line at the Spoonholder and he bought our coffee! You don't get that at a big university. He is in attendance at athletic events and concerts in Eppley. Chances are, you've seen President Reynders walking his dog on campus with his wife Robin. We are so lucky to have him around!

4. Individualized class sizes

As a music major, the majority of my classes have approximately five people in them. The faculty to student ratio is 13:1, which means that your professor will most likely know your name (can be good or bad depending on if you go to class).

5. You meet the best people

I have met the most amazing people here who I know will be my friends forever. Moving to college can be very scary, but the friends you make get you through everything from a failing grade to a break up.

6. We make the most out living in Sioux (Sewer) City

Sioux City isn't terrible, but it isn't Omaha or Iowa City. Morningside knows how to make our own fun ;) (I won't go into detail)

7. Mustang Pride

We wear our M'side gear daily. You can't walk to class without seeing some maroon and white. Our student section is loud and proud while still being classier than most (not saying Briar Cliff but if the shoe fits). I will forever be a Mustang and I will forever love this school.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
