What happened to midterms? Ya know, having half the semester left to bring those grades up?
Now, we have about four weeks left and it’s all going too fast.
There’s paper upon paper due, research projects, reading, and the dreaded group projects where you always get stuck doing most of the work. (When will teachers learn?)
Registering for classes finally cements the fact that you only have a couple weeks left before you have to start a whole new round of classes.
Want to know the best part, though? Thanksgiving is just around the corner. And that means there’s a break. Break from the stresses of classes, professors, sports, and organizations. Just some nice time at home with your family and some good, real food.
I don’t know about you but I’m getting real tired of having to guess what kind of meat is under the thick, baked on sauce. I’m starting to realize that cereal isn’t an acceptable meal for all times of the day, and that I can only eat so many salads.
I can’t wait for the time off, away from college and the expectations.
I feel like with all that’s been happening this semester and over the last week, people have forgotten their value in this world; that they are worthy of more than a vote or a test score to define them.
We need to remember whose image we are created in. We are all brothers and sisters, under one nation, in God we trust. So that’s what we need to do.
TRUST GOD. Trust that He has a plan for us, that He wants the best for us, no matter what we have to go through to get there.
He has a vision for us and when we boil down someone’s character to one thing, judge them for one act or belief, we are not being good neighbors.
John 15:12 reminds us: “A new commandment I give you, that you love one another as I have loved you.” God sent his only son to save us. Jesus laid down his life for us so that we could live. Don’t you think we should be willing to put our trust in someone who put their trust in us?
Remember this and all of the sacrifices made for us to live, to vote, to breathe, to eat. There are many people who fought for us from the beginning. Let’s take a moment to be grateful for all that we have and those who believe in us.
