Reason, Justice... and what was that other one?
Since this is Christian school, many of the people are in fact Christians, so a lot of the time I feel like faith is excpected of us. The school motto is Faith Reason and Justice, but that isn't always the case. One thing that has been keeping me more on track with my walk with God is my friend Renee. Every morning she sends me a Bible verse that always keeps me thinking via text. I don't always have my Bible, but I definitely have my phone.
Congrats on getting a RA position Renee!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Pirate King
The Pirate King is my beautiful friend Angel and she's the pirate king because... well I actually don't know. Angel is a part of a group that I do everything with. Angel is the Pirate King, I'm Sir Knight of China, Kaitlyn is Sprinkles, and Sally is Sally. I think we need a name for Sally any suggestions?
Well a few weeks ago, Eastern got a ton of snow. There's a huge hill outside of my dorm and it was just begging for people to sledding on it, so we grabbed lids of contains and trash bags and went ghetto sledding. I guess Cabrini doesn't have hills because there were some of there boys sledding on our campus. After they were done they all lit up cigarettes, there is no smoking on Eastern's campus. Angel with all of her amazing courage went up to them and said, "There's no smoking on my campus." With that they put out their cigarettes and and then used the name of the LORD in a very unkind way, which Angel again did not like and would not deal with. She looked at them again and said, "And don't take the LORD's name in vain."
The moral of the story is don't tick off Angel because she's such a strong person that stands up for what she believes.

Around the World in 192 Seconds
OK so it's not around the world, but it is around the campus. Check out this video to see a virtual tour of the Christian school I rant about every week.
First I need to tell you that reason they all look high as a kite is because they shot this video at about 7:00 AM... ew. All the lovely people in the video are student workers for the admissions department. I love the way the fun British guy said, "Welcome to our home." That is so true because once I started at Christian school I felt like I completely lost my home, family, everything that everything that ever mattered to me but I found a new home at Eastern.
I have a theory that there is at least one Gough 4th girl in every activity that involves women (so not men's soccer). Gough 4th is also called "the penthouse" because it's the top floor and super cool. There just happens not one, not two, but three beautiful Penthouse girls in the video along with one of our penthouse rooms. By the way, that's my floor. :-) As you could see on the door of the room that's Abby's and Megan's room. They are two of the coolest people Eastern has to offer. Megan is currently studying abroad. The stunning girl with the short blond hair in the room is one of my fantastic student chaplain. The penthouse is pretty awesome.
This video shows just how much love and beauty there is in one itty bitty school in just 192 seconds. Well done admissions. Welcome to Christian school.
P.S. RIP Log Cabin

Roomie Love
Roomie Love (n)- the affection that is shown between two people that reside in the same place. Example: Wow Gough 412 has a ton of roomie love! You can tell that Scotia and Raechel have roomie love by the way they act around each other and respect one another.
Today friends, we are talking about roomie love. One thing that I have had the pleasure of experiencing during my time at Christian school is the wonderful thing that my roommate and I call “roomie love”. My roommate is the lovely Raechel Jones and we live together in Gough. The incredible thing about the floor I live on is that we are known for having amazing community, and my room is a perfect example of that. Raechel and I are each other’s friend, sister, confidante, mother, drill sergeant, spiritual guide, pest, and sometimes worst enemy. I’m not going to pretend that things are always springtime and daisies; we are after all two completely different young women, but even when things are bad there’s always roomie love.
One thing that I absolutely love about my roomie is that she is so supportive of everything I do, including this blog. When I told her about it, she got just as excited as I was. So as a thank you for everything she has done for me I promised I would give her a blog entry just for her. If you have ever met her, then you know how sweet she is, and if you haven’t met her then you are missing out.
