How Going To A Christian College Has Impacted Me
Destiny Mullins

Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

I came to a Christian college not knowing what to expect. I was not really raised in a religious household and I hadn't been to church in a couple of years. I came to this college because I would not be in that much debt and it was just the right size that I would not have to worry about being in a classroom with a hundred plus students in there. But also because for the first time ever, I felt that I was being called to do something. Something was telling me that this was where I needed to be and boy oh boy, I'm glad that I was called to be here.

Going to a Christian college has impacted my life in so many ways.

I have not only grown so much stronger in my faith, I have met amazing people who keep me on track and are teaching me everything that I do not know. I have met lifelong friends through this college and I have already made so many memories. I have only been in college for two months and it has been the best two months of my life.

When I decided to come to this college I thought that I would be judged because I was not raised in a religious household, but I now realize that people here come from all walks of life. I have met so many different types of people here and nobody cares if you used to be a wild child, if you weren't raised in a religious household, or if you are not strong in your faith. All they care about is helping you grow closer to God!


People here do not judge, they love everyone. I never realized how close I could be to people that I wasn't related to until I came here. I can trust almost everyone and I can talk to anyone about my problems I am having, rather it be questions about my faith, boy troubles, or even needing help for picking out my outfit for a girls night out. I have made friends with so many people that I can also call family.

I could not have made a better choice of what college I went to. I highly recommend to every high school student or anyone wanting to go back to college, go to a Christian college! Some people do not love it but it has been the best decision I have ever made.

I could not ask for a better place to call my home for the next four years. I could never imagine going anywhere else.

So for the next four years, I will be a Williams Baptist College student and I would not want to have it any other way.

Shout out to WillyBap for giving the best years to come!

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
