This Is College

Naps are always needed, but usually dorm life keeps you up. Play some beach volleyball. Stay up till 6:00 AM working. Go to class from 6:30 AM till 9:00 AM. Sleep till 2:45ish. Go to meetings, meetings, and more meetings. Pick on the Freshmen as much as possible.

Learn some Greek - talk some end times. Learn some evangelism - talk some church education. Hangout at your friend's house - watch a movie. Watch your school's baseball team play at the nearby stadium. Lead worship after curfew. Go work in the office for a little bit. Spend time in prayer.

Miss out on the cafeteria food you already payed for and eat Chinese buffet food that costs a lot JUST because you want to.

A date here, a date there. Homework everywhere.

Agendas, meetings, good conversations, dumb conversations, social overload... accomplishments, failures, lessons learned, friendships made, money lost, life goes on and life is good.

THIS IS COLLEGE.

It will all be over before you know it and you'll long for these days again! Enjoy!
