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!

So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
