5 Reasons Why I Chose A Christian University
Bailie White

Many people have asked me in the past year, “Why are you going to Freed-Hardeman? Why aren’t you going to this state school or this other one?” And now that I have been here for a week, I am 100% sure that this is where I am supposed to be. I have no doubts in my mind. So after observing for a little over a week, here are a few reason why I chose a Christian University.

Worship — Every single night I have been here, we have gathered as a student body to worship our God. Everyone comes together, and it is just so cool to observe. Not many colleges have these opportunities to get everyone together. Plus, the singing is phenomenal every single night.

Bible Class — I get to go to a Bible class every single Tuesday and Thursday at 2:30 to study the life of Christ. Coming from a very large public high school, this is a BIG DEAL to me. I am so excited to be able to learn more about Him along this journey.

The People — I have met so many people especially over the last 48 hours that I am constantly having to say, “Now what’s your name again?” But all of the upperclassmen that I have met always always remember my name and that means so much. It truly is like one huge family.

The Professors — Tomorrow, my interface (orientation) group is getting to go have supper at one of the staff members’ house. Most of the staff members are opening up their homes for all of the freshmen tomorrow night. Every class I went to today was super awesome because I could tell that the teachers truly do care about me and want me to succeed in life.

The Friends — I live around the most awesome group of girls. At night we are always laughing and seeing who can eat the most peanut butter the fastest and seeing how many grapes we can fit into our mouths without choking, plus of course all of the girl talk. It has been so much fun to just have friends around all the time.

It has been so much fun being at FHU these first few days, and I am super excited about the next 4 years. I am so grateful to God for giving me the most awesome opportunity to be here!! All the glory is His!!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
