Defining Our Experience..

Growing up and going to school in the Midwest has given me: if not an unique experience then definitely an interesting one.

My name is Emily Powers and I'm studying History and English at Northwest Missouri State University.  For those who don't know, this small state university is located in Maryville, MO.  Home of the Bearcats and the ever popular 19+ bar age.  Our tiny college town, located about an hour and a half north of Kansas City, creates a need for adventure and creativity.  Many of these adventures taking place at the four bars off the square (we're not called the BEERcats for nothing.)  Aside from the somewhat disagreeable extracurricular's, we are apart of a loving and supportive family.  Once a Bearcat, Always a Bearcat! We have a multi-title winning Football team, an amazing Greek Life community, we are home to wonderful christian organizations and church communities, and are accredited with fantastic academics.  Attending Northwest has been a life-changing experience, as any college experience should be.  We all go to college to find something.  Whether it be our dream career, our future spouse, a home away from home, our future bridesmaids/best men, or our-self.  Often what you go in search for you find in ways you would never imagine.  So in the spirit of self discovery, I hope to impart some wisdom of what I have found and the many things I can't yet imagine for the future.
