The Block Bham: The Biggest Block Party Around

I had been hearing the term "the block" for a while, but I never knew what it was. Then one day I received a message on Facebook:

"Hey:) I go to this place called The Block on Tuesday nights and what it is, is we have a bunch of people that throw this big block party every week from about 7-10. There's live dj's, music, entertainment and it's all free. Pretty much like a party you would prob go to just without the alcohol ha anyways I just wanted to invite you to come check it out one Tuesday when you don't have any plans!:)"

So, I decided to check it out, and I am so thankful I did! From the second you pull into the parking lot there are people greeting you left and right! Everyone is so kind and genuine and really know how to make you feel at home. I never imagined meeting so many awesome people in such little time.

Not only are there awesome people, but there's awesome music!! The energy and excitement built up in the place are astonishing. Everyone is ecstatic to be there and seem to have the time of their lives.

The best part of the block is the worship. It is so amazing to see all these people coming together to give praise to the Lord. These people are so on fire for Jesus and you can see that within the first 30 seconds of meeting them.

How cool is it that we have a place that we can gather weekly and experience God with a group of people who bring out the best in each other and want to help you become closer to God? I think that's flippin' awesome!!!

I am so glad I decided to go to the Block and met some cool new friends, and I can not wait to see what the Lord does through this event to shape and mold me for my future. I don't know what the future holds, but I know who holds my future.

I know the people at The Block want to meet YOU! Come check out the Block in Pinson, AL every Tuesday at 7 p.m.!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
