Being A Freshman In A Christian College

For seniors in high school who are wondering what it's like to be a freshman in college, this article might help you understand what exactly freshman experience during their first year, so... enjoy!

1. You know in high school when you thought going to sleep early was so dumb and staying up was just what teenagers usually do? Well you are wrong...

2. If you used to complain about your moms' food... she's probably laughing at you right now.



3. They say not to cave in every time you have cravings, but let's be honest, college does not apply to this at all. (Especially ice cream).

4. You have a paper due in 24 hours. You say "It's fine. I have time." Do you? Do you really?

5. Dorm check... This would make your parents so proud! You're finally making your bed after 18 years!


6. So many people getting engaged! So many rings.

7. One laundry room... one dorm full of students! Yeah, not so easy!


8. It is said that "a dog is a man's best friend," but in college, we can agree its coffee. Coffee is a necessity!


9. Christian dating in a Christian college...

10. Trying to figure out when to do your assignment.

(Yes of course! I'll do it tomorrow five minutes before class)

College can be scary. Trust me; I've already had my share of being on my knees, but If I could tell you one thing I learned from college, its this: God shows you where you are in your walk with him. You are no longer considered a child, and it makes relying on him a whole lot harder because Mom and Dad are not around. It's where you learn how to become an adult, socialize and create new long lasting friendships, and if you're a shy person, try to break out of your shell. After a bit, you'll find your little group.

I want to challenge college students, it doesn't matter what year you are in, to get a closer relationship with Christ. The world has a close eye on Christians because of our walk with God and, unfortunately, it's not for good reasons. Christians are seen as hypocrites because we want to do what is right and follow in Christ's footsteps. I challenge you to show your identity in Christ to those around you, and I don't mean hold up a sign at the corner of a grocery store advertising Christianity, because that's weird, but by depending on God through the struggles of becoming an adult.

Enjoy these four years of college because they will zoom by in a blink of an eye.

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.
