Why I Chose The King's College

Why I Chose The King's College

I knew as soon as I saw The King's College at my college fair, it was where I was meant to be. Here are a few reasons why:

1) It's not a party school.

All you hear about as high school seniors are college parties. I am not a partier. I've actually never been to those kind of parties. I always wanted to be someone who does great things, not a teenager that goes to parties and gets drunk. So in making my college decisions, a "party" school was not an option. In fact, I didn't want to apply to a secular college for that one reason. In any college you go to there are always going to be kids who like to party, but at King's the students are mature, grown up and know right from wrong. You step on campus and feel like an adult. Students don't party; they're too busy with school, clubs and internships.

2) It's a small college so the professors really get to know you.

I didn't want to just be another student. I knew I wanted a relationship with my professors. In a school with thousands of students and hundreds in a class, the professors don't even know your name. You have to hope and pray you took the right notes or understood what you were learning. At King's there are only 20-25 students in a class and sometimes even less, so as a student you get to build a relationship with your professor. You can talk to them if you need help, and if you don't agree with what they're teaching they are always open for having a discussion.

3) The Dress Code.

Yes, King's has a dress code. I know right now you're wondering why. It's college. You should be able to dress how you want! Well...you're wrong. King's is not only instilling good Christian values, but they are also teaching students how to dress for a job. This school is all about learning how to be a professional entrepreneur and because of that, you have to dress like one. I never liked the idea of going to class in a sweatshirt and jeans. I want to be taken seriously. I've always been taught that the way you dress becomes who you are.

4) You're on your own.

At King's you have an apartment, not a dorm, which means you do your own laundry, grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning and everything else that comes with being an adult. I know it's scary, but you learn how to be an adult and not just a college kid. Learning how to do these things now will help when you are really on your own. There's nothing like the feeling of accomplishment and knowing you can do whatever life throws at you.

5) It's in New York City.

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.
