Part 2: Coming this Spring

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!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
