Part 2: Coming this Spring

17
First Semester Synopsis
Personal

Now that this semester is over, I am so very excited about what is to come for me in the spring. There are many new additions to my life that I am ready to take on and to see what God has planned.

I will continue to be a part of Baylor Freshman Class Council and be involved in events for that organization. I am also currently in Baylor Youth Ministry teams, and I hope to join other in this organization at numerous Disciple Now’s throughout the semester. I have changed my major from Pre-Health Sciences to Corporate Communications with a minor in Leadership (so basically a complete 180); and I am excited to beginning learning in the field. I will also be taking a class for my summer job as a Baylor Line Camp Leader. I am over the moon excited about this job, and I know that I will make friendships that last a lifetime and have one of the best summer’s ever. I am also taking a class in hopes of becoming a Community Leader in the fall of 2017. This class will be challenging and competitive, but I am up for the challenge. During Spring Break, I will be taking a trip to Antigua, Guatemala to serve the Lord at a malnutrition center for children.

All of these things bring exciting new adventures and friends, but also challenges and stress. Along with my other classes, I will be extremely busy, but I know I will love every minute of it. I ask that all of you will begin to pray for me as I learn more about myself in this next semester. Pray that lives will be changed (mine included) and that I will never hold back from what the Lord has for me. Please pray that I do my best in every organization, event, class, trip, or whatever else I am doing. Pray for guidance in every aspect of my life and those lives around me. And please pray for Baylor University, that it will continue to share the love of Christ with students, families, and others around the world. No matter what happens, I pray my school never loses its faith and hope in Jesus Christ.

Thank you for your prayers and that you even care enough to read my articles. Writing has never really been my thing, so I appreciate y’all sticking with me. Thanks for reading about my crazy, hectic, but super fun first semester. I can’t wait to share all that happens in the spring!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
