First off, the Marian Sisters... It is such a gift and a witness to have nuns present on Benedictine's campus. Not only are they great examples of the beautiful vocation of religious life, but they are so kind and a lot of fun!
Secondly, "Beard Season"... On the eve of November 1st, men shave their beards for one last time before the eve of Valentine's Day. They go for 3 1/2 months of no shaving to compete for "Burliest Beard," "Longest Beard," "Most Suffered Beard," "Best Carved Beard," and "Best Mustache." They finally get to shave the night before Valentine's Day.
Thirdly, SEEK2015... This conference was amazing! Check out the video at the end of the post to get the feel for what it was like to be at SEEK2015 this past January!
