I live in Diehl Johnson Hall, and I\u2019m a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cedarville.edu\/academic-programs\/broadcasting-digital-media-and-journalism\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">broadcasting major<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> here at Cedarville with minors in creative writing, music, and, of course, Bible. Here\u2019s a typical day in my life!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Since I\u2019m not much of a morning person and I don\u2019t have any morning classes this semester, I like to sleep in as much as I can before chapel. The extra sleep always empowers me to get more done on busy days! I usually get up around 8:30 or 9 a.m., eat breakfast in my dorm, and make a marvelous cup of coffee complete with a generous splash of caramel macchiato creamer.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">While I\u2019m eating and drinking my coffee, I like to listen to a few chapters of Scripture. Listening to the Bible has been such a lifesaver for me. Rather than thinking about all the stressful things I\u2019ll have to do that day, I can ground myself by starting my day with God\u2019s Word.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Every weekday at 10 a.m., we have chapel, which is a good time for the student body to pause and remind ourselves to rest in God. I usually sit with my bro-sis if there are enough seats. At 11 a.m., I head over to the Apple Technology Resource Center for my first class of the day, Multiplatform Journalism. The small class size \u2014 only five students! \u2014 allows us to workshop our writing and learn from one another.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4973 \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Adobe-Express-file-5.png?resize=626%2C352&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"626\" height=\"352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Adobe-Express-file-5.png?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Adobe-Express-file-5.png?resize=250%2C141&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Adobe-Express-file-5.png?resize=700%2C394&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Adobe-Express-file-5.png?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Adobe-Express-file-5.png?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Adobe-Express-file-5.png?resize=120%2C68&amp;ssl=1 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">After class, I head over to grab lunch. I love scheduling one-on-one lunches with my sister or different friends throughout the week. My favorite place to eat is probably Tossed since it\u2019s a great healthy option.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">By 1 p.m., I\u2019m off to my next class, Digital Media and Law Regulations. Although this is a broadcasting class, it feels more like a government class because it\u2019s all about how the First Amendment applies to the media. The legal terms can be hard to understand, but the professor does a great job answering questions and making sure no one gets left behind!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Depending on the day, my class schedule can change. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have Digital Film Production, where we get hands-on experience making movies, Digital Audio Post Production, where <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">we learn to use audio editing software, and a poetry class where we workshop each other\u2019s pieces.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">After class, I head to the practice room to practice piano and voice. Even though I\u2019m not a music major, Cedarville\u2019s choirs and musical ensembles are open to students of all majors. I\u2019m taking piano lessons from Mrs. Anderson, Director of Cedarville\u2019s keyboard pedagogy program!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">On Mondays at 3 p.m., I head to the Resound Radio fishbowl to record my radio breaks. I work for Resound as a DJ, which is not only a great r\u00e9sum\u00e9 builder for broadcasting majors but also a great way for students of all majors to imp<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">rove their public speaking skills, build friendships with the Resound community, and encourage the student body with engaging and uplifting messages.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Since I usually don\u2019t have anything planned between 4 and 5 p.m., I\u2019ll either crank out some homework assignments or, if it\u2019s after a Resound shift, get coffee with some Resound friends at Rinnova. I usually stay in the SSC for that hour since I\u2019m meeting my hall or bro-sis for dinner in The Commons anyway. Dinner is always a fun time to swap funny stories with friends and laugh about our days.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">After dinner, I usually head back to my dorm and spend the next hour doing homework and debriefing with my younger sister, who also is my roommate. Around 7 p.m., I like to take a brain break and clear my mind by going on a 30-minute run.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4974 \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Adobe-Express-file-8.png?resize=566%2C318&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"566\" height=\"318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Adobe-Express-file-8.png?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Adobe-Express-file-8.png?resize=250%2C141&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Adobe-Express-file-8.png?resize=700%2C394&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Adobe-Express-file-8.png?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Adobe-Express-file-8.png?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Adobe-Express-file-8.png?resize=120%2C68&amp;ssl=1 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 566px) 100vw, 566px\" \/> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Once I\u2019ve finished running, I head back to the dorm to shower and put my pajamas on. My sister and I have a TV in our dorm room, so we usually invite friends in for a few multi-tasking hours of movie-watching and homework time. If there\u2019s time after finishing the movie and the rest of our homework, my sister and I will call our mom to debrief about our day and see how our family is doing. If my little siblings are still awake, I like to talk to them via FaceTime. I\u2019m really close with my family, so it\u2019s important to me to stay in touch.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">If I\u2019m not still doing homework or on a creative writing streak, I try to start winding down and getting ready for bed around 11 p.m. One thing that really helps me wind down is writing in my prayer journal. I share all my ups, downs, and prayer requests with God like I\u2019m writing Him a letter. It\u2019s always been a comforting way to get things off my chest and give them to God so they\u2019re not running through my mind when I\u2019m trying to sleep.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Even with lots of projects, assignments, and activities, I\u2019m grateful for all the new things I\u2019m learning, and I\u2019m so excited to discover more about the future career God has in store for me. I\u2019m also grateful for all the wonderful friends I\u2019ve made who love me and encourage me to be more like Jesus every day!\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">If you love dabbling in lots of creative areas and you want a major where you can combine them all for a unique, personalized career plan, I recommend checking out <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cedarville.edu\/academic-programs\/broadcasting-digital-media-and-journalism\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Cedarville\u2019s broadcasting program.<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Join Gabriella Lurtz, a broadcasting major from northeast Ohio, as she shares a typical day at Cedarville University filled with creative classes, hands-on experience at Resound Radio, quality time with friends and family, and moments of spiritual reflection.
