A Thank You Letter To My Freshman Year Small Group
Taylor Renner

Dear Small Group,

This simple thank you letter is not enough to tell you girls what you've down for me this semester. Coming into this first semester of college was really scary for me, and I'm sure for you guys too. I knew what kind of friends I wanted to spend and surround my time with but I was nervous about when and how I would find the kind of friends I was looking for. Low and behold, our small group appears.

Each one of you ladies is so amazing, and I cannot stress that enough. Every week when we meet, I continue to see more and more of the Lord in everyone and that brings such joy to my heart. You all love the Lord so much and I admire you girls for choosing to follow Him despite temptations and remarks by others. This semester you all have filled me up with fellowship and unconditional love and grace. I know wholeheartedly that I can come to the group as myself and be honest about how my week is going. Whether it was a bad week or a good week, I'm comforted and supported no matter what.

I can't wait for next semester with you ladies. For our next semester together, I pray that we can just grow closer together as sisters in Christ, welcome new faces, and challenge our relationship with Jesus to grow stronger and more intimate. I miss you all already and can't wait to see you girls again!

Love you's!

Taylor

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
