My name is Allie, and I am one of the student Getting Started Directors this year. As a fifth-year student (or \u201csuper senior,\u201d as we like to call it), I\u2019ve had my fair share of Welcome Weeks.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><strong>Welcome Week<\/strong> is simply another name for the first week that students are on campus. If this is your first semester on campus, welcome! As we approach the start of the semester, you may be feeling really excited, super nervous, or somewhere in between. Trust me &#8230; that\u2019s normal. I remember being so nervous about moving in and starting my first week on campus, but at the same time, I was excited to meet new friends. In order to help calm any nerves, let me walk you through what to expect in your first week as a Cedarville student!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h6><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Monday<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\r\n<div id=\"attachment_3760\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3760\" class=\"wp-image-3760 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Chapel-2.jpg?resize=700%2C350&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Students in dark chapel sitting in rows with Bibles on their laps.\" width=\"700\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Chapel-2.jpg?resize=700%2C350&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Chapel-2.jpg?resize=250%2C125&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Chapel-2.jpg?resize=768%2C384&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Chapel-2.jpg?resize=120%2C60&amp;ssl=1 120w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Chapel-2.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3760\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Fall Bible Conference<\/em><\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">After moving into your dorm and meeting your new roommate and hallmates over <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cedarville.edu\/events\/getting-started\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Getting Started Weekend<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, Monday kicks off with <strong>Fall Bible Conference<\/strong>. This is such a special time for Cedarville students. We all gather together in the <strong>morning at 10 a.m.<\/strong> and in the <strong>evening at 7 p.m.<\/strong> to listen to the teaching of Scripture and to worship together.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Since there are no classes on Monday, this is a great time to explore Cedarville and surrounding towns. You can invite some hallmates or new friends you&#8217;ve met over Getting Started Weekend to <strong>go for a hike at the <\/strong><\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gcparkstrails.com\/parks\/indian-mound-reserve\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Indian Mound Reserve<\/a><\/strong> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">(a 25 minute walk from campus), or you can go <strong>visit the different coffee shops<\/strong> around the area to find your new favorite spot!<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Monday evening is the second session of Fall Bible Conference. This year, the evening session is followed by a <strong>birthday party for Stinger<\/strong>, our school mascot! This year is Cedarville\u2019s 100th year of being the Yellow Jackets, so we simply <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">have <\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">to throw a birthday bash. Grab your friends and head over to the SSC Lakeside Patio for ice cream and live music!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h6><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Tuesday<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Tuesday is day two of Fall Bible Conference. The chapel schedule is the same, with one session in the morning and the second in the evening. I would encourage you to spend this day making sure you have everything you need for classes. Some professors do not allow laptops or tablets, so make sure you have notebooks for those classes. You will also want to <strong>read through your syllabi in <\/strong><\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cedarville.instructure.com\/login\/saml\/104\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Canvas<\/a><\/strong><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> on Tuesday before classes start on Wednesday.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I have also found it helpful to either write all of my assignments in a planner or add them all to \u201cTasks\u201d in <strong>Google Calendar<\/strong>. Trust me, your &#8220;GCal&#8221; will become your best friend. In addition to adding your assignments to the app, I would add your classes and their locations.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">After reading through your syllabi, take the time to walk the route of your classes. It is so helpful to <strong>find your classrooms before Wednesday<\/strong>. This helps eliminate the stress of feeling lost, and it helps you know the time it takes for you to get to your classes so that you do not show up late or fifteen minutes early. After this, head to Fall Bible Conference to close out your night!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h6><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Wednesday<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\r\n<div id=\"attachment_3749\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3749\" class=\"wp-image-3749 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/First-Day-of-Classes.jpg?resize=700%2C436&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Male student in Cedarville Tennis t-shirt in front of Cedar Lake holding sign that reads Day 0001; My first day of school.

Wednesday\u2019s sessions are a great time to recenter yourself after the first day of classes. Syllabus shock is definitely real, and it can be really overwhelming. I encourage you to <strong>use this time to bring your worries and stresses before the Lord<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>Also, pro tip: if possible, try to avoid getting lunch directly after classes let out, as that is when many people try to go at the start of the semester. If you wait 15-30 minutes or go during less popular times you can avoid lines.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h6><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Thursday<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Thursday is the last day of Fall Bible Conference, with just a morning session. I encourage you to meditate on what you learned from each of the sessions throughout the day. This is the <strong>first \u201cfree\u201d evening of your week<\/strong>, so use it to do something you find restful. Establishing rest as a habit early can be beneficial in carrying the practice into your next four years. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h6><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Friday<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\r\n<div id=\"attachment_3751\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3751\" class=\"wp-image-3751 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Involvement-Fair.jpg?resize=700%2C350&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Drone shot of a dozens of tables and tents in grassy area for Involvement Fair at Cedarville University.\" width=\"700\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Involvement-Fair.jpg?resize=700%2C350&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Involvement-Fair.jpg?resize=250%2C125&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Involvement-Fair.jpg?resize=768%2C384&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Involvement-Fair.jpg?resize=120%2C60&amp;ssl=1 120w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Involvement-Fair.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3751\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Involvement Fair<\/em><\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You made it to the end of your first school week!
