By Colby Smith  While music has always been a part of my life and I’ve enjoyed being a part of a variety of performances throughout my high school and collegiate career, there is truly nothing like the glory that is York College’s Songfest. While it requires an inordinate amount of work, cooperation, time, and organization, it is an event that makes York College incredibly unique and creates an astonishing sense of community. After three years of performing on the Songfest stage, I currently have the opportunity to serve as Songfest Student Director. While my countless hours practicing Beyoncé in front of my bathroom mirror will unfortunately go to waste this spring, I have loved working on the production end of a show full of such talented hard working people, and I am itching to tell the world about all the exciting things that happen in York, Nebraska in the spring. So move over P.T. Barnum! Here are five reasons why Songfest is the greatest show.

1. Take Your Academics Seriously
Senior year is no time to coast by. Believe it or not, Colleges do look at your grades when you apply, and contrary to popular belief, “Senioritis” is not actually a legitimate medical condition. Ask questions, take advantage of extra credit, find a study buddy, grab a cup of coffee, and put that brain of yours into gear. You’ve got this!

You’re about to dive head first into a giant sea of dorm life, new faces, challenging classes, that really cute shower caddy you bought at Target, scavenging for quarters, and, obviously, a whole lot of ramen. Maybe your nerves are getting the best of you, but you’ve probably seen seasons four through seven of Gilmore Girls, and know that as long as your roommate isn’t Paris Geller, you’re going to be just fine. However, “just fine” isn’t exactly the college experience you were hoping for. If you are planning on absolutely crushing your freshman year at York, here are a few helpful tips:

Here you are, freshly graduated from high school and about to embark on “the best four years of your life.” You know where you’re going to college, you have your class schedule and your textbooks—so that’s pretty much all you need to know, right? Wrong. Your freshman year is basically the beginning of the rest of your life, and I’m here to give you a few tips on how to make the best of that journey.  By Cole Satterfield During your time here in York there will be times when you and your friends would like to go out to grab a bite to eat rather than eating at the caf. Luckily, York has a lot of great restaurants to choose from. In order to ensure that you choose the right place to eat and leave the restaurant satisfied, here a few places that I recommend: By: Cole Satterfield & Jacob Wirka
At a college like York it's easy to get super involved in a million different things at once. While this is great, at the end of the day we are still here to be students. As difficult as that can sometimes be, Cole and Jacob are here to give you some simple tips to become a dearly beloved student by all of your teachers!  Growing up, Summer Camp was always the highlight of my summer. Even from the age of 5, I tagged along with my Mom who taught Girl’s Bible Class at Midwest Bible Camp in Brighton, Iowa. People may say there’s nothing special about Southern Iowa, but to me, it was the first place I saw God. I saw Him in grassy hills and pretty sunsets, I heard Him in four part harmony and late night bunk bed whispers, and I felt him in sunburns and sweaty hugs. But most importantly, I experienced God living within the people, especially the camp counselors, who took the time to get to know me, encouraged me, and taught me about Jesus by loving me in a way only a gracious, relentless, and perfect God could inspire.

During this time, you get the opportunity to learn about every social club that has a presence on campus. I didn’t know how big of a role my social club, Sigma Tau, would play into my experience at York College. However, I can now say that it has been one of the biggest contributors to my amazing experience at York. The biggest thing I love about York College is the fact that you can be as involved as you would like to be. I like to keep busy, so I get involved with a bunch of different activities. This is an example of a general day for me.
