An Open Letter to Christians in College

Dear Christian brothers and sisters,

I hope this crazy world of college is going well for you, hopefully it is a journey without many ups and downs. But we all know that certain things are placed in front of us so that we can get stronger. 

Don't be discouraged if you see the world differently from some of your friends. We aren't all created alike so we have different views on things. Take what they say into consideration and try and show them how we live life too. 

College, for some, can be like a mission field. Many can join an organization, sorority or fraternity to be the light to the darkness. Because, after all that is what we are called to be. God wouldn't have put you in that place if he didn't see a special reason. Just remember that when times get hard, and especially when you feel alone. 

Maybe that's not you. Maybe you like to show people God's love rather than preaching it, which is fantastic! Use those skills to show others that God's people can be selfless and serving.

Overall, don't try and change yourself just for someone to like you. Stick to who you are and why you do things the way you do. If anyone doesn't like it, then that's not your problem. You were created like that for a reason, so don't let that slow you down!

Know that you are never alone during your college experience. There is always someone going through the same things you are. We weren't meant to walk this path alone, so don't try to!

Love, 

A fellow sister in Christ

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
