How Going To A Christian College Has Impacted Me
Destiny Mullins

Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

I came to a Christian college not knowing what to expect. I was not really raised in a religious household and I hadn't been to church in a couple of years. I came to this college because I would not be in that much debt and it was just the right size that I would not have to worry about being in a classroom with a hundred plus students in there. But also because for the first time ever, I felt that I was being called to do something. Something was telling me that this was where I needed to be and boy oh boy, I'm glad that I was called to be here.

Going to a Christian college has impacted my life in so many ways.

I have not only grown so much stronger in my faith, I have met amazing people who keep me on track and are teaching me everything that I do not know. I have met lifelong friends through this college and I have already made so many memories. I have only been in college for two months and it has been the best two months of my life.

When I decided to come to this college I thought that I would be judged because I was not raised in a religious household, but I now realize that people here come from all walks of life. I have met so many different types of people here and nobody cares if you used to be a wild child, if you weren't raised in a religious household, or if you are not strong in your faith. All they care about is helping you grow closer to God!


People here do not judge, they love everyone. I never realized how close I could be to people that I wasn't related to until I came here. I can trust almost everyone and I can talk to anyone about my problems I am having, rather it be questions about my faith, boy troubles, or even needing help for picking out my outfit for a girls night out. I have made friends with so many people that I can also call family.

I could not have made a better choice of what college I went to. I highly recommend to every high school student or anyone wanting to go back to college, go to a Christian college! Some people do not love it but it has been the best decision I have ever made.

I could not ask for a better place to call my home for the next four years. I could never imagine going anywhere else.

So for the next four years, I will be a Williams Baptist College student and I would not want to have it any other way.

Shout out to WillyBap for giving the best years to come!

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.
