Musings of a College Girl

Well, I'm not exactly posting as often as I wish I were, but hey... I guess I post when I'm free and that is totally enough for me. Between finding down time just to waste I guess (I REALLY want to spend this time better though) and doing homework to the point I'm mentally exhausted I try not to add more "assignments" to my day. Granted, I do enjoy writing, but it's really been on the back burner over the last couple of years.

Anyway, that's not why I'm posting. I thought I would make a post from the perspective of a freshman college student seeking God; and as many of you know, sometimes I just get off on a rant. So, in order to keep myself on a structured post I am going to delve into some of my experiences by first listing some things I didn't expect when I got here, things I have encountered that I just feel have been "important" as I have been here so far, and just some things I feel deserve to be discussed that aren't always mentioned about college.

So, now for the list.  I will try my best to keep it quick and concise for now and then will explain their meaning in more depth in later posts.

1.  The dorms make me feel emotions I wish didn't exist.
2.  Sometimes I just wish there was a spot I could go that no one knows about or ever will know about.
3.  All of the cussing around me has helped me appreciate how I was raised.
4.  My roommate has helped me realize how blessed I am to live in the family I do.
5.  I have only recently discovered how "not-sheltered" I am, and I have discovered how privileged I have been to have had these experiences in my life.
6.  I still don't know what I am going to do for sure with my life after I graduate.
7.  I ever so greatly dislike dorm life.
8.  I'm not homesick, I'm "people-sick."
9.  My faith in God has been my saving grace.
10.  Love. Lust. Boys. : Why is everyone boy crazy? o.O
11.  Everywhere I turn there are people.
12.  Christian fellowship is more important now than ever.
13.  If you put forth an effort, you can, and most likely will, succeed.
14.  Sometimes you just have to say NO!
15.  Stand up for what you believe in, even if it means you lose a friend or two.
16.  Just because you live on the same floor as them doesn't mean you have to share everything with them.
17.  Take time to relax. Don't stress.
18.  Don't let disappointment or discouragement prevent you from thanking God or seeking God for that matter. (Even if it sounds odd.)
19.  The first few weeks (or first month) do not determine how the rest of your life is going to go. You have that control.
20.  Learn to love your parents in the littlest ways. Talk to them when you can.

Now, I could sit here for hours thinking of things that have happened since I have been here, and I probably would, but that's not exactly the most efficient thing to do. I know it's quite the list, but if you so desire, I would love for you to stick around for a while and muse with me.

So for now, Love and Blessings my friends.
