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.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
