Why I Chose The King's College

Why I Chose The King's College

I knew as soon as I saw The King's College at my college fair, it was where I was meant to be. Here are a few reasons why:

1) It's not a party school.

All you hear about as high school seniors are college parties. I am not a partier. I've actually never been to those kind of parties. I always wanted to be someone who does great things, not a teenager that goes to parties and gets drunk. So in making my college decisions, a "party" school was not an option. In fact, I didn't want to apply to a secular college for that one reason. In any college you go to there are always going to be kids who like to party, but at King's the students are mature, grown up and know right from wrong. You step on campus and feel like an adult. Students don't party; they're too busy with school, clubs and internships.

2) It's a small college so the professors really get to know you.

I didn't want to just be another student. I knew I wanted a relationship with my professors. In a school with thousands of students and hundreds in a class, the professors don't even know your name. You have to hope and pray you took the right notes or understood what you were learning. At King's there are only 20-25 students in a class and sometimes even less, so as a student you get to build a relationship with your professor. You can talk to them if you need help, and if you don't agree with what they're teaching they are always open for having a discussion.

3) The Dress Code.

Yes, King's has a dress code. I know right now you're wondering why. It's college. You should be able to dress how you want! Well...you're wrong. King's is not only instilling good Christian values, but they are also teaching students how to dress for a job. This school is all about learning how to be a professional entrepreneur and because of that, you have to dress like one. I never liked the idea of going to class in a sweatshirt and jeans. I want to be taken seriously. I've always been taught that the way you dress becomes who you are.

4) You're on your own.

At King's you have an apartment, not a dorm, which means you do your own laundry, grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning and everything else that comes with being an adult. I know it's scary, but you learn how to be an adult and not just a college kid. Learning how to do these things now will help when you are really on your own. There's nothing like the feeling of accomplishment and knowing you can do whatever life throws at you.

5) It's in New York City.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
