Student Leadership is taken very seriously at Liberty University. RAs, RSs and CGLs (lovingly called seagulls) take good care of each other and the people on their hall. If you are on leadership at Liberty, you probably have experienced some of these moments.

1. Moving in thousands of Freshman and Transfer students.

But honestly, its the best couple of days of our lives.

2. The relationship between CGLs, RSs and RAs is an unbreakable bond.

Imagine a Christian version of Mean Girls. On Wednesdays we wear our mission trip t-shirts. She doesn't even go here (but we are going to love her to Christ regardless). Get in loser, we are going to a worship concert.

3. RHLM is one of best times of your week.

Personally, I love RHLM. When the big four is pumped about a hall event, it sets a great tone of energy for the whole team. Also, working alongside 15 passionate Christ followers who are also some of your best friends is the most amazing thing I've ever been apart of.

4. Being so relieved that being on leadership still counts as CSER.

Don't get me wrong, I am not on leadership for the CSER credit. But I think everyone was a little nervous with all the changes unrolling last semester that being a CGL wasn't going to count towards CSER.

5. Getting excited about your Community Group being finalized.

The days surrounding final groups being announced slightly felt like recruitment week for a sorority. But once you find out who your group is, it's like Christmas in September.

6. Talking to people in your Community Group until morning hours.

Pouring into someone and getting poured into is beautiful, but seriously, I have an 8:15 in four hours. Love you, but lets get lunch tomorrow.

7. When it's 20 minutes until Community Groups and the Campus Community App isn't updated.

The LUShepherd office is great and have been doing a really good job of updating the app this year. Nothing is more nerve wracking than waiting for the content to get uploaded.

8. When you really feel like the Lord has something for you to say to your group and they aren't totally focused.

"Just give me three more minutes! Please!"

9. When Campus Community is on point and you can't wait to get to groups.

LETS TALK ABOUT GALATIANS

10. Getting lit for hall meeting.

Who has snacks?

11. Watching someone grow in their relationship with the Lord like:

God is good.

All in all, leadership at Liberty is such a great opportunity to care for others and to grow in your walk with the Lord. I personally love being a CGL and making the girls on the hall feel welcome. Creating and upholding a community on a large college campus is so vital to making sure no one falls through the cracks. We aren't meant to do this life alone.
