Part 2: Coming this Spring

31
First Semester Synopsis
Personal

Now that this semester is over, I am so very excited about what is to come for me in the spring. There are many new additions to my life that I am ready to take on and to see what God has planned.

I will continue to be a part of Baylor Freshman Class Council and be involved in events for that organization. I am also currently in Baylor Youth Ministry teams, and I hope to join other in this organization at numerous Disciple Now’s throughout the semester. I have changed my major from Pre-Health Sciences to Corporate Communications with a minor in Leadership (so basically a complete 180); and I am excited to beginning learning in the field. I will also be taking a class for my summer job as a Baylor Line Camp Leader. I am over the moon excited about this job, and I know that I will make friendships that last a lifetime and have one of the best summer’s ever. I am also taking a class in hopes of becoming a Community Leader in the fall of 2017. This class will be challenging and competitive, but I am up for the challenge. During Spring Break, I will be taking a trip to Antigua, Guatemala to serve the Lord at a malnutrition center for children.

All of these things bring exciting new adventures and friends, but also challenges and stress. Along with my other classes, I will be extremely busy, but I know I will love every minute of it. I ask that all of you will begin to pray for me as I learn more about myself in this next semester. Pray that lives will be changed (mine included) and that I will never hold back from what the Lord has for me. Please pray that I do my best in every organization, event, class, trip, or whatever else I am doing. Pray for guidance in every aspect of my life and those lives around me. And please pray for Baylor University, that it will continue to share the love of Christ with students, families, and others around the world. No matter what happens, I pray my school never loses its faith and hope in Jesus Christ.

Thank you for your prayers and that you even care enough to read my articles. Writing has never really been my thing, so I appreciate y’all sticking with me. Thanks for reading about my crazy, hectic, but super fun first semester. I can’t wait to share all that happens in the spring!

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.

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.

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.
