15 Things All Christian College Students Know Too Well
Indiana Wesleyan

Attention! Attention! Fall Semester is almost here! All the public school students are rushing, entering their welcome weeks and testing the limits of their body parts- their liver and...other things that need not be named.

But what about those students who attend private schools? Are you an incoming freshman wondering what you're in for this coming year? Transfer student who is new to the whole Christian school experience? You won't be rushing, or entering a welcome week with a substance that is prohibited by law. You'll be hearing things like the sayings below. Get ready, you're in for a wonderful year!

1. "Dude, check out my Chaco tan!"

2. "Gosh darn it. What the frick? Holy heck!"

Because how dare we get caught swearing on campus.

3. "You got another parking ticket?"

You best believe that campus security will put a ticket on your car if you are an underclassman in upperclassmen parking for more than 15 minutes. You have been warned.

4. "I have been looking through the book of numbers, and I realized I don't have yours?"

Christian pick up lines, Christian pick up lines everywhere.

5. "I'll pray for you."

Not a bad thing, at all. But sometimes, you wanna hear a little bit more than this.

6. "Were you homeschooled?"

I was homeschooled, some of my best friends were met this way. But there are 'those' homeschoolers who are so socially awkward you try to avoid confrontation with them..and if you don't know what I'm talking about, I'm sorry to say you are the awkward homeschooler.

7. "Veggie Tales!"

I am a culprit of this. I get bored, don't want to study anymore and will turn on some veggie tales. Don't be afraid to sing with Larry the Cucumber about finding your hairbrush.

8. "Ring by Spring"

Ugh. Just ugh.

9. "There's chapel today right?"

Yes. MWF are chapel. T/TH are your Jesus classes y'all. Jesus everyday.

10. "No really, theres a bible app on my phone."

Professors are tired of hearing it, you aren't fooling anybody. And everyone knows you aren't paying attention in chapel too.

11. "Modest is Hottest!"


Yes it is very important to protect your body, cover yourself and be appropriate but I know how to dress myself, and I promise you I will not walk out of my dorm room in anything my mother would not approve of. Thanks I know its my Christian duty to cover my booty.

12. "Leave room for Jesus!"

All of the third and fourth wheels, literally everywhere, will make sure there is room for the Holy Spirit in between you and your significant other- right in between them telling you how much they hate that you are so cute together. #guilty

13. "Lets grab coffee!"

Coffee and Jesus fix everything.

14. "ENO and Chill?"

Okay, so I'm pretty sure no one says this but they should- because that is basically what it is. Yes! Go! Hammock with the cute boy who plays guitar and recites bible verses to you!

15. "Let's pray."

Before exams, before quizzes, before class, at the dining hall, in the student center, outside your dorm room, in the middle of the parking lot. You will see people praying, everywhere.


Good luck! And remember...

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
