Wise Words From the Editor Four years equals 1,460 days. That seems like a long time – until you’re in college and it flies by. As I finish my fourth and final year at Otterbein, I’ve been taking the time to reflect back on the last few years. I have had countless amazing experiences. I have had my fair share of unbelievable adventures. I have made friends and connections that I know will last a lifetime. But, my senior year has been a little different than most. Read about how I’m preparing to graduate, start my career and marry the love of my life on page 10. And as I reflect back and share one of my milestones, take a minute to discover how some other Cardinals are reflecting on their own experiences in college. On page 6, read about some of our student athletes looking back on their most memorable moments with their teams. Or flip to page 12 to hear about how a class taken in a prison is causing students to reflect on their own lives as well as on their view of the prisoners. Turn to page 14 to find out how Otterbein residents are regrettably reflecting on past roommates, or page 26 for a glimpse into the theater department and its opportunities. And don’t forget to learn about how Abbie Scholz, a key player on the women’s basketball team, is reflecting back on the loss of her brother but also looking forward to making him proud in our cover story on page 16. Join us for a journey of reflection, and remember—even if you are going through something challenging, whether you realize it or not, you too are making memories you’ll always carry with you. Happy reading!
