How Williams Baptist College Has Impacted My Life

Here I am, a freshman in college. I never thought I would actually make it this far.

I go to a college called Williams Baptist College and I am a PreLaw Major.

I think that going to a christian college was probably one of the best decisions I have ever made. I have found myself growing closer to God these past two weeks and I have never met people that are so kind and genuine.

I believe that I have already found life long friends through this college.

This past week was the first week of real classes for all of us and all of the professors that I have met have been nothing but amazing to us. They understand that we are adjusting to college life and they are not just throwing us into college life.

I am on the Williams Baptist College cheer team, so I just figured that I would be friends with just the cheerleaders. I thought college would be cliquey like high school was. But it is totally different! College is not cliquey at all and I am so thankful for that.

We are all here for two reasons; to get a college degree and we are all living a God filled life.

I have found out that since I have been here that I make quite a few more trips to Walmart and Taco Bell then I rather would, but that is totally fine.

What I think I love the most about this college is that we are all on fire for God and I am not sure if anything could ever change that. We have so much fun worshiping Him and hanging out with each other.

Many students say that WillBap is either for you or it is not. I have heard that there is not really an in between.

My first weekend at college was orientation weekend and I had so much fun worshiping God and meeting new people. From having the mega relay to having Flame come here and have a concert in our gym, I could not have asked for anything better.

Although college has already been stressful, I would not take any of it back.

I would not change the late night jam sessions in the girls lobby, the cafeteria food, trying to act like I know how to play soccer and baseball, work outs, homework, 8 a.m. classes, ping pong matches, cleaning the dorms, fighting off mosquito's, chapel on Wednesday, all of the great faculty, the loving students, or missing my family for anything else.

I have found my home for the next four years and I am not sure if anything will ever amount up to the amazing people or things I have done since I have been here.

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."

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
