Many students most likely returned to campus after Christmas break with the intention of making this year better than the last. Now that 2017 is officially underway, new goals have been created. So, no matter how big, small, smart or just plain silly, they’re all something worth achieving.

This past December, Eyas celebrated their 10th anniversary birthday bash in the Union, complete with cake, balloons, games, and prizes. The celebration also featured a station where students could come forward to write down some of their goals for the new year. Eyas Co-Chair and Senior Class President Kelly Gordon then used the suggestions to compile a complete “Messiah College Bucket List”. If you’re looking for some new adventure and ideas to kick off 2017, just take a look at what your fellow Messiah students came up with:

  1. Take a selfie with President Kim Phipps
  2. Succeed in academics, extracurriculars, and spirituality
  3. Find the most eggs at Eyas’ Eggstravaganza
  4. Use the newly renovated gym
  5. Join a book club
  6. Witness Messiah win a national championship at any sport
