With graduation just around the corner, I have been thinking a lot about my time here at GCU. I have truly enjoyed my four years here, even with the ups and downs and crazy moments. I couldn't be happier with my choice of going here. I have learned and experienced so many things during my time at GCU. I couldn't have asked for a better college experience. I will forever be proud to be a Lope!

No matter how many people crack jokes or rag on GCU, it really is a great place to be. I've had some crazy things happen during my time here, from crazy roommates to GCU getting rid of my major. Yet even through all of those crazy moments, I am still truly blessed by this school. I have made my life-long friends here, this school is where I met my best friend and I couldn't be more thankful for that. ON top of all of that, I have had some truly amazing professors, who have become great friends and mentors that I have been able to come alongside and work with.

GCU has been such a wonderful place to grow and learn who I really am and enjoying the passions that I have. From writing to worship, I have gained so much experience throughout my time here. I admire all of the people that I have met and come in contact with throughout my college experience. I have definitely learned something from all of these encounters. No matter how much I have loved and enjoyed my time here, and how much I will miss it, I am excited to move on.

College is an amazing time in your life, but I am ready to see and experience what comes next. God knows the plan that is set forth for my life and I am really excited to see where that leads me. I'm stepping out into the real world and becoming a true adult and it is a little scary, but it is also really exciting!

I will always be grateful for the time that I have spent at GCU and no matter where I go, I will always be a Lope. I could not be more thankful for GCU and all that they have brought into my life. My friends, my education and my job are all things that I truly appreciate to have gained from coming to this school. I am sad to not be a student, but I am excited to continue on and see what is next. Thank you GCU for all that you have done for me and even if we make fun of it sometimes, thank you for helping me find my purpose! I am forever grateful for this school and the experiences it has brought me. I couldn't be more proud to be a Grand Canyon University Class of 2019 graduating senior! So thanks GCU and Lopes Up and Lope Out!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
