How Williams Baptist College Has Impacted My Life

Here I am, a freshman in college. I never thought I would actually make it this far.

I go to a college called Williams Baptist College and I am a PreLaw Major.

I think that going to a christian college was probably one of the best decisions I have ever made. I have found myself growing closer to God these past two weeks and I have never met people that are so kind and genuine.

I believe that I have already found life long friends through this college.

This past week was the first week of real classes for all of us and all of the professors that I have met have been nothing but amazing to us. They understand that we are adjusting to college life and they are not just throwing us into college life.

I am on the Williams Baptist College cheer team, so I just figured that I would be friends with just the cheerleaders. I thought college would be cliquey like high school was. But it is totally different! College is not cliquey at all and I am so thankful for that.

We are all here for two reasons; to get a college degree and we are all living a God filled life.

I have found out that since I have been here that I make quite a few more trips to Walmart and Taco Bell then I rather would, but that is totally fine.

What I think I love the most about this college is that we are all on fire for God and I am not sure if anything could ever change that. We have so much fun worshiping Him and hanging out with each other.

Many students say that WillBap is either for you or it is not. I have heard that there is not really an in between.

My first weekend at college was orientation weekend and I had so much fun worshiping God and meeting new people. From having the mega relay to having Flame come here and have a concert in our gym, I could not have asked for anything better.

Although college has already been stressful, I would not take any of it back.

I would not change the late night jam sessions in the girls lobby, the cafeteria food, trying to act like I know how to play soccer and baseball, work outs, homework, 8 a.m. classes, ping pong matches, cleaning the dorms, fighting off mosquito's, chapel on Wednesday, all of the great faculty, the loving students, or missing my family for anything else.

I have found my home for the next four years and I am not sure if anything will ever amount up to the amazing people or things I have done since I have been here.

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."

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
