16 Things You Should Know Before Attending A Christian University

  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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
