What would Jesus do? He would love first.

An Answer To "What Would Jesus Do?"

"What would Jesus do (W.W.J.D.)?" This question has been among the Christian culture for years. Growing up, it didn't think anyone had ever had an actual answer to this question. It seemed to be something people often assumed, but there was no action behind it.

That has all changed with the "He Would Love First" (H.W.L.F.) movement. I discovered this movement a in the past year, and I can truly say it has transformed my daily perspective, as it answers the W.W.J.D. question. The "He Would Love First" mission statement is to "unmask Jesus to the world and to cultivate a culture of His expressed love all over the world."

Reminding myself that "He Would Love First", has changed my perspective daily and has been such a constant reminder of Christ love for me. As Christians, we are called to walk as Jesus walked. We get to love because he first loved us. Whether my day has consisted of interacting with difficult people or struggling to keep my head, loving others first has become my number one priority.

Something I especially love about H.W.L.F. is the ability to open doors and share the love of Jesus with others. This movement all started with a simple bracelet with the letters, H.W.L.F.. I wear this bracelet everyday on my wrist and it has become such a great conversation starter with others. As people have asked me the letters stand for, I have been able to share the gospel and message of Jesus to them.

The H.W.L.F. movement has transformed the way I act and speak to others daily with the simplest reminder. By knowing how much Christ loves me, has allowed to me to love others so much more.

With any item you purchase on their website, they give you a free H.W.L.F. bracelet with a card explaining "why a free bracelet?" They believe that "for God so loved the world that he gave." In the same way, they encourage you to spread this good news, by giving your extra a bracelet to someone else.

In everything I do, I remember Jesus would love first. It does't matter the situation or interaction. Having a solid answer and simple reminder to W.W.J.D. has allowed me take action by loving others the way God has loves us.

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.
