2009 CALIFORNIA BAPTIST UNIVERSITY Vol. 57 PART 2
When you sit down on a bench to be still and watch all the people on campus you might see a girl that is a tad obsessed with Disney, or people who ride bicycles, or participate in a Worship dance club. the following pages include stories about certain people you can find on campus. Some stories will make you laugh and some will touch your heart. [Photo by Enoch Kim]

TIME CAPSULE. [a look back at 2008 and all its glory]
2008 has been both good and not-so-good to all of us. We now live in a world where our entire lives are planned out and can be found in the calendar application on our iPhones. We have every song we’ve ever listened to in a thin square device. We no longer get lost and have to call our fathers for directions, because our cars tell us exactly where to go and when we’ll arrive. On the otherhand, many of us aren’t taking any road trips, because gas soared to almost five dollars a gallon this summer. Even worse, the stock markets crashed and millions of people lost their jobs. Barack Obama became president-elect. For many CBU students this was their first year of eligibility to vote, and this election was possibly the most important election of this century. The year 2008 will soon roll into 2009, and before our eyes the years will pass us by. Maybe the person reading this right now is an alumni of the future. Maybe Blackberries can do time travel now. Maybe cars run only on solar energy. Maybe Starbucks took over the universe. For now, all I have to say is this: Yes my friends, you ate Chipotole every week and you fit into those skinny jeans. You did listen to that crazy rap music and you drove a car that ran on gasoline. You said the word “default” everytime you snapped a picture of you and your friends. These were the trends, these ARE the trends of 2008.
TiVo can be a very important tool to maintaining one’s sanity, especially during midterms and finals. Watching your favorite TV shows can prove to be a great stress reliever or just a good excuse to procrastinate. [photo by: Enoch Kim]

You have had a great four years making friends, and learning new things, but now it is time to move on. There are a couple friends in particular whom you have really clicked with, but as the years go by you all sort of lose touch. Ten years down the line, you find yourself working at a university across the country with three of your old CBU friends. Improbable you say? Maybe so but‌

All right, we’ve all been there. You know what we’re talking about: Maneuvering those outrageously long lines swamping the Alumni Dining Commons; driving in circles searching for a parking space; studying in your apartment, surrounded by heaps of books and lecture notes. Sure, it can be aggravating when you tightly clutch your to-go box, navigating your way through the maze of students; or when you are waiting and praying for the elusive parking spot that always appears after you’ve parked two blocks away. So we ask you, what’s a student to do? Here’s some helpful tips from students who can say they’ve been there, done that:

5. Think safety. Please be a safe driver. Remember that there are pedestrians at all hours of the day and night, so be alert and drive at a reasonable and safe speed. Holly Gherig, a student who enjoys walking to and from her classes, pointed out, “I like that there are cross walks most places so I feel safe when I cross the street.”

Parent Trap with Lindsey Lohan was one of the most talked about scenes back when I was in elementary school. I remember everyone saying how much fun it would be to have a twin to switch places with, but then again stuff like that only happens in the movies. Alyssa and Jessica Isgett are 20-year-old identical twin in their junior year at CBU. Jessica is a liberal studies major, while Alyssa (the older of the two
up the stairs and dropped my books and folders in front of a group of 8th grade boys. They all laughed and I was so embarrassed that I rushed to class. Later at lunch, a boy walked up and asked ‘Hey, you’re that girl who tripped earlier’. So thinking on my toes I said, ‘No, you must be thinking of my twin sister.’ Jessica still hates me for it.” Despite the fact that they have different hair colors and hairstyles, 20-yearold, identical twins Tierney and Kathleen Galster are still mixed-up by their professors and fellow students. Tierney is a biology major and Kathleen is a history major. Even with their different majors, Tierney says she is still asked by random people she has never even met “about missing classes or helping them with homework for classes that she’s never even taken!” “It’s pretty funny,” she laughed. “To watch people’s reactions when I tell them I’m not Kathleen!” Imagine freshman Sarah Wing’s math professor’s surprise, when she learned that one of her students was actually not who she appeared to be. “One day,” Courtney Wing noted, “At the beginning of the semester, my sister wasn’t feeling well enough to go to math class, so I switched places with her and went to her class for her. The teacher didn’t even believe me when I said I wasn’t my twin until Sarah, who was sitting in her seat by this time in preparation for her next class, greeted her! She did a double take and said, ‘Oh my gosh there’s two of you,’” Sarah added.
“It’s so hard to tell those guys apart!” explained Andrew Hochradel, friend of Vincente and Gorge Andrade. Sometimes looking alike can create a problem, but these guys know how to settle their differences; or lack of, in their case. [photo by: Eric McFarland] Annie: If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Hallie: I don’t know. Pizza… Annie: Topped with…? Hallie: Olives, green pepper… Annie: And… Hallie: Anchovies. Annie: Oh my God. We are twins! So as we have seen twins really can switch places with each other and make people believe they are the other twin, but are twins really so similar that they can have the exact same favorite food even if they have never even met each other? I’m thinking stuff like that really does only happen in the movies.
Even their reasons for attending CBU are different. Jorge was looking for a Christian college to attend, and swimming helped open that door, while Jorge was looking for a Division 1 university to compete at the collegiate level. “God completely changed everything,” Jorge revealed. Now they both see that swimming here at CBU and swimming for an audience of
“Oh my gosh there’s two of you...”
Being identical twins does assume many similarities, but in the case of Jorge and Vincente Andrade who are from Tijuana, Mexico, they have very different hopes and dreams for the future. They were born on Oct. 24, 1988. Laughing Jorge added that he was born first. They both are on the swim team here at CBU and are loving it. Both conquer that it is a blessing to have a twin to be so close to, but they also told me how it can get hard sometimes. Vincente explained, “I would say the worst part is that people consider us one, and we don’t really like that, also I get called Jorge every single time and I’m not!”
one (God) is the best thing that could have happened for them. Even when it comes to their education, different paths are being taken. Jorge is double majoring in Spanish and psychology, and Vincente is a kinesiology major with a concentration in physical education. When asked what his plan was for the future Vincente answered, “I want to make the Olympic team for my country Mexico, and also my goal is to become a swim coach.” He mentioned that his ultimate goal is to glorify God. Jeremiah 29:11 is his favorite Bible verse because he
understands that he needs to trust and be confident in the plan that God has for him. Jorge would like to become a bilingual counselor for a Christian high school, and a Spanish professor. His service doesn’t stop there; he is going to travel. “I plan to do missions for a part of my life and serve different people in different countries where people are in need.” He mentioned getting married and raising a family. Although they see there lives going different places they both have tremendous trust in God, giving them a very optimistic look on there future.

Where Do You See Yourself In 10 Years? We come to college with big ideas, big goals and big dreams. As we go through the years, new doors open, eyes are widened and goals change. Suddenly the possibilities seem endless. We really do have the power to be whatever we desire. We’ve been given the glorious gift of education. The question is, what will we do with it? Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Some of us see ourselves as high-powered business men and women, rising to the top of corporate America. Some of us see ourselves as the next generation of educators. Some of us see ourselves in far away countries, ministering to God’s children. Ten years seems pretty far away to us now, but time flies, lives change and we’ll all eventually grow up and move on. For some students, the answer to where they will be 10 years was right on the tips of their tongues. For others, it took some serious thought and contemplation. Laura Kruse, a history major and World War II enthusiast said, “In 10 years I hope to become a head museum curator in a museum that focuses on America’s historical events, such as the USS Arizona Memorial, where I interned this summer. Once I have spent years in the museum and am more experienced, I would like to open a museum dedicated to the women of the United Sates who have shaped our country and helped us to get where we are in America today.” “In 10 years I will have a master’s of divinity under my belt. Myself, and several others from this fine school plan to move to the U.K. where we will start a church; a church where community and discipleship are the foundation under the word of God,” applied theology major Joel Hurst said. Instead of a 10-year plan, Jordan Trivison, a double major in political science and business administration has a lifetime plan. “This will be most likely around 30 years from now, I would like to become the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State is the head of the U.S. State Department, which is concerned with foreign affairs. As the representative of the U.S. to the world this position is a heavy load; however, it is one that I would like to bear.” Victor Schmitz, a criminal justice major, knows exactly where he will be in 10 years, even down to his dogs name. “I will be on the SWAT team with the Riverside Police Department, working my way to Sergeant. Hopefully, I’ll have a wife, a kid or two and a white lab named Coppers.” Little did we know that while we were playing imaginary school, cops and robbers and doctors when we were kids, that we would be practicing for our futures. Once upon a time, it was all just a dream, a vision and an aspiration. Now our big ideas, big goals and big dreams are becoming a reality.

Mixing It Up!
The CBU Student Recipe Book The CBU Alumni Dining Commons is certainly a popular place! We are blessed to have a cafeteria with such amazing food. People from all over come for the Sunday brunch - and with good reason! However, as awesome as the food is, it never hurts to change things up a bit and create something entirely new. One can look at the ADC and see not only great food already prepared, but an entire set of ingredients simply awaiting to be combined. Often, it seems that we see something someone has created and think, “I wish I thought of that!” So with that in mind, I have compiled some student recipes that should help get your creative juices flowing. Just remember, the possibilities are endless...
That sounds delicious!

Dance for the Lord! Worship Dance Club Founder Janet Harbin thinks students should worship in many ways, including dance. Harbin said, “ I think this club is breaking cultural barriers. A lot of people love to dance and sign. I think it’s a good thing for other people to see that you can sign and dance as worship.” In our large pursuit of “Worship with Purpose” this year, Harbin shows us that we may have overlooked ways to worship fully. The Worship Dance club dances. They dance like David. They dance for the Lord. They want to bring in further types of worship. In addition to dancers the club also has signers. They want to explore every possible avenue to worship fully. Harbin is adamant about this. “We just want to bring out every possible form of worship that we can think of,” she said. Harbin’s goals for the club are big. “I would just like the club to be more involved with the school. I want it to be known that there is a dance team here, there is a signing team here. I want it to reach people,” she said. The Worship Dance club is in its first year. Propelled by its members, creative ideas and fearless spirits they are accomplishing big things already. They performed in chapel. They danced on the chapel stage. They held an event to showcase the talents of its members and the beauty of these forms of worship. Harbin whole-heartedly believes that this entire phenomenon was inspired and is being led by God. “I do think that this is God driven and that God really did want me to start this club because everything is falling into place. I want it to be an open force of worship and ministry at this school,” she said. This club is worshiping God at CBU. Worship is becoming an explosion. The students in this club are preparing to lead the way into a worship revolution. Sign Choreographer Angela Browne said, “I’m trying to get people to open their minds.” And that is exactly what she is doing.

Club founder Janet Harbin embraces Andrea Bullock. Harbin is enthusiastic about the quickly forming bonds between club members. Harbin said, “Everyone gets along in the club. We’re having fun. We’re starting to feel like a family already!”

Drawn To Art The hands of God; that’s were it all started. From the depths of the ocean to the unfathomable heavens above, our universe is the perfect place to look for inspiration of impeccable artistry. And yet, the creation of man continues to be the most amazing work of art that this world has ever seen. Why, you may ask? God created man in his image; therefore, man has been given the ability to create in his image. This has been true for Ojai, Calif. resident Michael Ring. For as long as he can remember, he has been involved in the world of art. “I’ve been taking private art classes since I was in elementary school, so it has always been a part of my life,” Ring said. “My first art class was Sharon Butler’s Art Workshop. I took it all through elementary school. That’s one of my fondest memories because her workshop was an awesome and creative workspace. After that, in junior high, I started walking over to the high school after school and the art teacher would let me come in and work in the classroom. Then in high school, I took AP Studio Art class and also took a life drawing class at our local art center, which is a class where you learn how to draw the human figure.” Ring expressed how significant art has been to him. “When I was younger it was like eating or breathing to me. I would have to jot something down in my sketchbook all the time.“ Unlike others his age, upon graduating from high school, Ring was determined and ready to attend Savannah School of Art and Design in Savannah, Ga. However, God had other plans for him, and apparently so did his grandparents. “Right before school started my freshman year my grandparents offered to pay for my first year of school if I came to CBU because they really wanted me closer to home. It was an offer that I couldn’t refuse, but I now see it as the work of God, and I don’t consider anything that happened an accident at all,“ he said. Throughout his success, his apparent remarkable ability to capture the beauty of life in different expressions of art, Ring admitted that his greatest inspiration has been his twin sister Robin. “She was born with a small heart at birth and as a result of lack of oxygen to her brain she is a bit slower than most people. She always has a cheerful disposition though. No matter what, you can always count on her to be goofy and smiling,” he said. When asked how God’s will is incorporated in his artistic ability, Ring was very confident in his response. “Perseverance has always been an important part of my work process. I am always trying to utilize my talents so that I can be the person God intended me to be. Sometimes that may mean creating a piece that communicates a certain message toward an audience, or other times it may mean just using my skills for the good of others like helping someone learn how to draw, or lending my talents to the church. I think children’s illustration, (my favorite style) is an area God has been pushing me toward, and I feel I could really make a difference through that medium.“ So what does it mean to be artistic, and how can we as mere mortals of an inevitably passing world create a work of art to be forever immortalized in his image? To be artistic means to understand the beauty of creation in all its complexities, and yet completely embrace it as a simple work of art. After all, our God is an artist.

To the Light A Poem and Story by Laura Manimtim Inspired by Matthew Mason
If only you knew… If only you knew that I was more than just a song, more than just a common tune. See I have a melody of my own. A melody that has flowed from within me since birth; A melody that continues to stream across life’s demanding road. No, not every note was played in rhythm and yes, I stumbled upon abrupt accidentals, and rapid runs, but that’s me. That’s my melody, unique in design, hand-crafted by my Father. If you choose to, you could hear it. My melody. It’s crooning, and caroling. It’s chirping and chanting. It’s my melody. And if you only knew where it began, or where I dream it would go. Then you would hear it. Then you would know, That I am more than just a song, more than just a common tune. I am unique in design, finely tuned, in pitch and deftly conceived by the Maestro Himself, God. If by some random chance, you or someone else, approached me and

What’s The Buzz All About?
“Why sooo Serious?”, Viva La Vida, “Blooood.” if you haven’t been living under a rock, then you probably know at least one of these famous or infamous excerpts from various media outlets. From movies to music, even videos posted on Youtube, the media around us makes a greater impact on us than we sometimes give it credit. Whether from politics, like “Bush” or to the simplest of stories about someone who cared enough to risk his own hide, or trunk, to save a whole world, like “Horton Hears a Who”. Media can affect our emotions, thoughts and the way we see our world. But don’t just take it from me. Take a look at what your fellow students had to say about the media throughout this past year.

“I don’t have to buy razor blades anymore, even shoes. I got these for free from my tennis class so I didn’t have to go and buy shoes,” Nick Coibion, the founder of Team Sweetwater, explained how the team has cut back to save money for their trip. The team decided to pay for the trip out of their own pockets so that all donations will go to their cause.
Team Sweetwater understands the dangers that are involved with hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, but that won’t stop them. “We’re out here for something much bigger than ourselves and we serve a very big God. The first rule for hiking out in the wilderness is always be faster than your slowest friend, and I know I can beat Nick. But it’s not a huge worry our lives are in God’s hands, I think that’s the best protection policy,” Tim Wilkins described.
“Yeah, I’m gonna walk 1,700 miles with these guys with a camera. That’s the reason I’m here, to help get the word out,” Caleb Childers shared over lunch with his teammates. Childers, age 20, will be documenting Team Sweetwater’s hike this summer on the Pacific Crest Trail. [photo by: Enoch Kim]

“I was walking on the pool deck and my friend pantsed me in front of the whole swim team and men’s water polo team!”
Erika Brown
“One time I was walking into the computer lab and put my hand back to stop the door from slamming and accidentally touched this guy below-the-belt. We were both pretty embarrassed.”
Sarah Young
“I kinda liked this girl in high school and I went to tell her a secret one day and burped right in her ear. I still to this day haven’t lived that one down.”
Jordan McDaniel
“This one time I took this girl out on a date and I went in to kiss her for the first time, but we had just left like Chipotle or something and like I had to burp, so I silently burped but I had to let it out before I kissed her. The thing is that her face was like right next to mine so there was no way to let it out, so I like tried and then leaned in and she was all ‘Did you just burp? Cause it smells like vomit.’ Needless to say, I didn’t kiss her that night.”
Andrew Hochradel
“So this one time I was dancing with this girl I liked and I totally punched her in the face and gave her a black eye.”
“We were playing the ‘See food’ game, you know, where you like chew your food and then open your mouth and show the other person? Anyway, I did that and I leaned over the guy I was interested in to show my best friend and the food totally fell out of my mouth and into his lap! Oddly enough, he still liked me after that.”

“I was at the movie theater and my friend and I were going out the back exit right when the movie was finished, so there were all these steps. While I was walking down the steps, I thought there were more and I fell flat on my face in front of everyone.”

“Bicycles. You know how everyone rides bicycles around, like going to the bike shops and fixing up their bikes. It’s like the ‘indie’ thing to do. That’s annoying to me.”
Lailani Kings
“Do I know anything to say to that? Gosh… let me think… I don’t know. I’m relatively uncool and I have nothing to say to that.”
Breanne Wilson
“Twilight. It’s annoying because it takes over my friends. For a good three days you won’t see someone because they will lock themselves in their room and read all 18 of them.”
Stephanie Grzeszczak
“There’s just a lot of fashion things that bother me. It’s either the crocs with socks or neon tights.”

“I wanna be Violet, because I would like to be invisible and see what people really think of me.”
Hannah Heighes
“I would be Superman because he has a lot of responsibility, but he handles it well. He would give up his own life just to save another, kinda like Jesus.”
“I’d be the baby from The Incredibles, because he has all these powers and he doesn’t know how to use them yet. He doesn’t even know all the powers he has, so he might just have ALL the powers. That’s cool!”
Holly Gehrig
“If I were a superhero, I would want to be Spiderman … Well, ‘spider-woman.’ I like that he is able to control his powers and realizes that with great power comes great responsibility. I also like that he is just an average person that has had great power thrust upon him. He still makes mistakes; he isn’t perfect, but he learns from his mistakes. Plus, he has the coolest suit!”

yoU
what movIe do
wISh yoU hadn’t seen? Valerie Estavillo
Twilight: There was so much hype about the movie and I was expecting to see something amazing. I don’t think the movie did the book justice.
David Newman
Paul Blart: Mall Cop: How can a man support a family on that kind of budget?
Conrad Black
Yes Man: It was weak sauce. I really expected more from Jim Carrey. Plus all the good parts (which were few and far between) were over-played in the previews.
Gabriel Newman
Quarantine: Sorry if you liked it, but to me the movie was so extremely irritating! It had some positives, but by the end of the movie you were so sick of the main character’s role; you just wished she would hurry up and die!
Barry Parker
Wanted: Sounded like a good idea with good actors, but the plot became so ludicrous. Such as the part with hundreds of rats with little bombs attached to them, that made me feel like I was cheated out of 1 hour and 48 minutes of my life.
