Guest Post: The Truth About College

so what’s the big deal about college?

That’s what I always thought. I mean, everyone knows how much fun it is to stay up till 4:30 am studying for a Spanish test or turn in papers that you spent hours on and then get it back with a C scratched in red ink across the top…pain, got to love it. Anybody got that “How to Train Your Dragon” reference? No…okay. Not everyone is a Pixar/Disney movieholic. But anyways, as soon as I got to college, I discovered the multiple other things that there were to do. And I have decided, out of the goodness of my heart, to share them with you. They are as follows:

You make up crazy dances and perform them for the entire freshman class at a talent show

Yes, I know, we are not dancing but we don’t have pictures of that. This is just

pictures of my entire hall. They are awesome.

You go to dances, not take them seriously, and wear fairy wings

You give everyone on your hall a Disney name and then make coloring pictures for

their door. I am Peter Pan.

You go to highlighter parties and wear crazy things

You try to pick up napkins with straws in your mouth using the straws like chopsticks.

You get dressed up and go to the President’s house for a dessert and Bible study.

President Trible has an amazing house on the James River so it’s fun to take awesome pictures outside.

You sit on a landing in a stairwell and welcome people visiting CNU in an attempt to make them feel

more welcome and inclined to come the CNU next year.

 

You take awesome pictures with a Harry Potter wand.

You climb a rock about 20 million times

You get introduced to cotton candy (that’s my awesome roommate in the middle)

You go to football games and get free tropical smoothie cups

You take awesome pictures in front of green screens
(that’s me on the left if you’re not sure)

AND….you get to help start new churches on campus!!!!!!

I’m so excited about Elevation starting. It’s a church that is based out of Charlotte NC and we are

starting a church here on campus where we will play our own music (I’m on the worship team) and then

we stream the sermons from the church. It’s gonna be AWESOME!!

So that is just some of the things you do. There are multiple other things that happen like midnight pizza

parties, or puddle sliding, or thrifting. I’m kind of a thriftaholic…let’s be real folks, college student +

college student budget=lots and lots of thrifting.

So yea, that’s kind of my life in college right now…so much work and school stuff ALLLLL the time.

Thanks for posting Sara Maria!

And sadly she doesn't have a blog yet.

Working on convincing her that blogs are worthwhile and necessary for survival.

 

And it's official:

I can't wait for college.
