1. ) “Partying” on the weekends means a.) going home to visit your old friends, b.) watching Netflix in your dorm on campus, c.) going to church on Sunday, or d.) all of the above.

2.) The only thing you’re getting high on is the Holy Spirit. To quote a college friend, “Ain’t no high like the Most High!”

3.) Your professors literally pray before your exams. Just remember, it’s not whether God is for or against you, but whether you are for or against God.

4.) The closest things you have to frat parties are the spontaneous worship sessions conducted by fellow students with instruments. And those are actually nothing like a frat parties.

5.) You can actually take classes entitled “John.” That’s it. Just John.

6.) Your friends who are Ministry majors have to-do lists with things like “foot washing” on them.

7.) Your classmates aren’t kidding around when they text you, “I have an organic chem final tomorrow, pray for me.”

8.) Dorm visitation hours are not a joke: you better believe that at 11 pm the girls are in the girls' dorm and the boys are in the boys' dorm.

9.) Someone says the f-word and everyone’s pupils dilate slightly.

10.) Required texts: Bible.

11.) The only walk of shame you do is to the Chaplain's office to explain why you failed to meet the required number of chapel credits.

12.) When you say you’re “still trying to find the one,” you’re talking about finding a church in the area.

13.) For every 10 friends you have, seven of them have parents who are pastors.

14.) “Ring by Spring,” isn’t a saying, it’s a reality. No, seriously, like eighty percent of the senior class is engaged.

15.) “I’m Trading My Sorrows” is sung in like every chapel service. Oh, and "Oceans" is a big one too.

16.) There’s a bible study every day of the week. Oh, you’re busy every day of the week?! That’s fine, there’s also an online devotional and prayer blog.

17.) Spring break plans? Oh, you know, just trying to get accepted into the missions trip to Israel.

18.) You probably know at least eight girls named Sarah.

19.) The best compliment you can get is to be told that you are being Christ-like.

20.) Tell anybody anything even the least bit concerning and you better believe that you'll be in their prayers.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
