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."

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
