16 Things You Should Know Before Attending A Christian University
@jessigratz
  1. You may be late for class because someone asks to pray for you.
  2. You’ll meet a lot people who have never seen Harry Potter. This means you get to have binge marathons frequently to enlighten their sheltered souls.
  3. You just might get that ring by spring. Gentlemen don’t think this doesn’t include you… prepare your bank accounts now. Here’s some help for that: https://www.chase.com/news/111614-give-yourself-realistic-savings-plan
  4. Be prepared to go on many “intentional” coffee dates
  5. Your professor will become your friend.
  6. Be ready to stay up till 3 am, not for the parties, but for the 24-hour donut shops runs.
  7. Outrageous floor events. Sororities and Frats are non existent on the majority Christian college campuses, so your floor mates will quickly become the closest thing you will ever get to Greek Life, but it just might be better.
  8. Become familiar with the term DTR. This will be key to damage control after the initial freshman flirtation of welcome week.
  9. Good luck finding a church not full of college kids in your town. You’ll start to miss the elderly.
  10. You get class credits just for going to chapel.
  11. Ladies, as soon as your friends become aware that you find a guy attractive, they already have your wedding planned, as well as baby names picked. No worries they’ve got it all covered.
  12. You never have to worry about your roommates’ girlfriend/boyfriend invading your space for too long, hall hours make this nearly impossible. Unless they linger in there after hours, in that case they are trapped till morning, and you’re all screwed.
  13. Everyone and their mother is musically gifted. You won’t have to go far for some free live acoustic jams.
  14. By the time you graduate, you will have mastered the “2010 Hipster look” that has recently plagued our churches.
  15. The professors will extend the same grace to you on your assignments that Christ showed us on the cross.
  16. You need to purchase an ENO Doublenester Hammock. Don't ask questions, just do it.

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.

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.
