Why the Men’s JV Volleyball Team Likes the Game of Volleyball
JV athletics aren’t as frequently highlighted on social media or on athletic websites as their varsity counterparts. With this in mind, I wanted to put the spotlight on the MBU men’s JV volleyball team and share why they enjoy playing volleyball and why this past volleyball season has cultivated fun memories for them in their sport.
Snow Days and the Winter Fun They Bring
Snow days are always a fun treat, even for college students. Snow days in Saint Louis are seemingly unpredictable because the weather varies constantly. However, on Jan. 25, 2023, Missouri Baptist University called off classes giving their students a snow day. Snow days always bring different activities to participate in during the bitterness of winter, and it’s always fun at any age to go outside (or stay bundled up inside) and enjoy a snow day.
Missouri Baptist University’s Up All Night Event – 2023
Each semester, Missouri Baptist University’s Student Life team works together to put on MBU’s Up All Night. This event consists of fun activities, yummy food and fun competitions.
Celebrating Christmas at MBU – 2022
With winter fast approaching and the air becoming crisper, jingle bells whisper in the wind as vibrant red and green colors begin to appear, meaning it must be getting close to Christmas time. This holiday season, MBU has put on a variety of activities and events throughout December leading up to Christmas break. Students had a blast participating in all the fun activities. Students who are a part of MBU’s Opinion Writing class also shared their favorite winter season foods as they look forward to spending time with friends and family during Christmas.
Showcasing Missouri Baptist University’s 2022 International Education Week
With opportunities to try different international foods, play unique sports from other countries and partake in international festivities, International Education Week is a great way for the MBU community to learn new aspects about food, culture and traditions from all around the world.
Harvesting Holiness During Halloween
As a Christian who doesn’t celebrate Halloween, I have found different ways to celebrate fall with events that glorify God instead of participating in a traditionally demonic holiday.
Challenging Changes Create Cohesive Competition
Despite the coaching changes the men’s JV volleyball team at Missouri Baptist University has experienced this school year, they have been able to play well together during their spring 2022 season while continuing to grow as a cohesive unit.
Time to Be Thankful and Gather With Special Friends and Family
Thanksgiving is a time to appreciate blessings and experience fun activities with friends and family. There are some standard traditions associated with each gathering, however many families add their own unique traditions to these already fun-filled holidays, resulting in joyous and long-lasting memories.
