Being A Freshman In A Christian College

For seniors in high school who are wondering what it's like to be a freshman in college, this article might help you understand what exactly freshman experience during their first year, so... enjoy!

1. You know in high school when you thought going to sleep early was so dumb and staying up was just what teenagers usually do? Well you are wrong...

2. If you used to complain about your moms' food... she's probably laughing at you right now.



3. They say not to cave in every time you have cravings, but let's be honest, college does not apply to this at all. (Especially ice cream).

4. You have a paper due in 24 hours. You say "It's fine. I have time." Do you? Do you really?

5. Dorm check... This would make your parents so proud! You're finally making your bed after 18 years!


6. So many people getting engaged! So many rings.

7. One laundry room... one dorm full of students! Yeah, not so easy!


8. It is said that "a dog is a man's best friend," but in college, we can agree its coffee. Coffee is a necessity!


9. Christian dating in a Christian college...

10. Trying to figure out when to do your assignment.

(Yes of course! I'll do it tomorrow five minutes before class)

College can be scary. Trust me; I've already had my share of being on my knees, but If I could tell you one thing I learned from college, its this: God shows you where you are in your walk with him. You are no longer considered a child, and it makes relying on him a whole lot harder because Mom and Dad are not around. It's where you learn how to become an adult, socialize and create new long lasting friendships, and if you're a shy person, try to break out of your shell. After a bit, you'll find your little group.

I want to challenge college students, it doesn't matter what year you are in, to get a closer relationship with Christ. The world has a close eye on Christians because of our walk with God and, unfortunately, it's not for good reasons. Christians are seen as hypocrites because we want to do what is right and follow in Christ's footsteps. I challenge you to show your identity in Christ to those around you, and I don't mean hold up a sign at the corner of a grocery store advertising Christianity, because that's weird, but by depending on God through the struggles of becoming an adult.

Enjoy these four years of college because they will zoom by in a blink of an eye.

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.
