An Open Letter to Christians in College

Dear Christian brothers and sisters,

I hope this crazy world of college is going well for you, hopefully it is a journey without many ups and downs. But we all know that certain things are placed in front of us so that we can get stronger. 

Don't be discouraged if you see the world differently from some of your friends. We aren't all created alike so we have different views on things. Take what they say into consideration and try and show them how we live life too. 

College, for some, can be like a mission field. Many can join an organization, sorority or fraternity to be the light to the darkness. Because, after all that is what we are called to be. God wouldn't have put you in that place if he didn't see a special reason. Just remember that when times get hard, and especially when you feel alone. 

Maybe that's not you. Maybe you like to show people God's love rather than preaching it, which is fantastic! Use those skills to show others that God's people can be selfless and serving.

Overall, don't try and change yourself just for someone to like you. Stick to who you are and why you do things the way you do. If anyone doesn't like it, then that's not your problem. You were created like that for a reason, so don't let that slow you down!

Know that you are never alone during your college experience. There is always someone going through the same things you are. We weren't meant to walk this path alone, so don't try to!

Love, 

A fellow sister in Christ

The infamous RBF is something I have and am known for. It’s kind of exhausting to be asked if you're okay all the time or being told to smile more. Girls with RBF get judged to be mean and rude much quicker than the girl who is always smiling. It’s true and just plain natural for someone who is generally smiling all the time to come off as more trustworthy and I've gotten used to it. I used to think that having a Resting Bitch Face was only a bad thing until I realized that just like anything else, it also has its perks. Having a permafrown with a piercing look comes with great power.

Parks and Rec

We all know that Parks and Recreation is one of the greatest shows ever to air on TV. As we watched every episode, we all found a piece of us in each character (even Jerry). From the moment we met the pit, to the time we saw it flourish into a beautiful park, we all had developed a little bit of Pawnee, Indiana in our hearts.

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.
