Language

So, basically everyone has said a "dirty word" at some point in our life, and Christian school is no stranger to this even if people don't want to admit it. Personally, I have far too much fun with it when someone is just really cheesed off and they say some sort of obscenity and then look around to make sure that no one else heard them.  While enjoying a song I never heard over the speakers in the Jammin Java, the singer plainly say the "f-bomb" and all of life stopped in that moment. One lovely RD smirked, and Sarah and I almost died from laughing so hard.

That Awkward Moment When You Should be Doing Homework...

but you're playing Action Potato instead. I should be studying for my death, but I'm doing the normal college student thing and I'm sitting in the coffee shop with Sarah and Ted, watching them play action potato talking about Christian Mingle and people being clingy. Before that I was talking to someone about the spirituality of this campus, or lack thereof. This is my life, so welcome to Christian school.

The Importance of Alone Time

If you've met me even once, I've probably asked your name, major, and all those other awkward get to know you questions. The life of a student at a small Christian school is exhausting.Everyone knows each other and if you spend 2 days away from one social circle to be with another, they complain. It's easy to get caught up in the very flattering number of people who want to spend time with you, but it's simply not possibly. So when things get to the point that you can't remember when you last saw your roommate, or if you called you mom this week, it's time to go on a date with yourself. If your extroverted to a fault, like me, spending some alone time is a terrifying thought, so watch this video for maybe some inspiration.

There is no shame in being alone, it's necessary. How else can we just stop and breathe? When else will we able to fully encounter God?

That's Just Gross

I absolutely hate when people ruin a perfectly fine walk from point A to point B by hocking a huge loogie and spitting. Today I was walking with a very sweet and handsome man and mid sentence he just spit right in front of me! Why does this gross me out? Who knows, but please, men of Eastern, stop being rude.

This week a found a video that two freshman posted that is basically the perfect summery of this blog. I shake my fist at you for making fun of youth min majors... oh wait I do that too and I am a youth min major. Every school has it's perks and quirks and this is a great and pretty respectful way of doing that. Also, just in case Hannah, Angel, Sally, Rachael, or anyone of you ask... I DON'T KNOW EITHER ONE OF THESE FRESHMAN. *gasp* I love you ladies :-)

New Semester, New Start

The start of a semester is always the best part because you're actually motivated to do something with your life. This picture that I stole from facebook, so please don't sue me congress,  perfectly describes my life. The plan the moment is to do as much work as I can as long as my motivation is there. Just pretend that when it says "September," it actually
says, "January."
