What is She Thinking?

Behind the Scenes of a Theologeek's Life

What is She Thinking?
Ana Plumlee

Many walk by me throughout the day and wonder what is going through my head, especially those people who know that I am a Theology major. There are actually only two of us that I know about here at NDC who are majoring in the subject, and I am the only one who lives on campus, so a lot of the time, I'm separated from the campus community as a whole in a way. So, if you've every wondered what's going through my head...you're about to find out.

Thoughts during class:

1. I have no clue what this professor is talking about...I think I'll google this topic later so I understand it better.

2. Seriously? We're going over what Theology is again?

3. Why do I have to take this class? This has nothing to do with my major.

4. If the professor calls on me I might give an answer that's too theologically dense.

5. Ugh, all of the heresy.

6.Wait, this is an English class? I though that gerunds were some kind of heresy!

7. I should totally live tweet this class one day.

Thoughts when doing homework:

1. I've written five drafts of this research paper. I think I'm good and there's no heresy in it.

2. I don't think I can stand much more of this theological text.

3 .Formatting this paper is a pain in the neck. It's a paper. Why does it have to be more difficult that it already is?

4. What should I use to make this paper longer? One word: footnotes.

5. One corgi video won't hurt...

6. Crap, I've been watching corgi videos for 4 hours and the paper's due tomorrow morning.

7. I need a Monster to get through the night/today...

Thoughts in my free time:

1. What is free time?

2. What does it mean to be free?

3. How did I get here?

4. What's good on Netflix?

5. Would my friends be able to hang out with me now?

6. Oh, friends...I don't have many of those...

7. Oh my gosh...my professor just asked me to edit something for him.

Thoughts when I'm ready to sleep:

1. What's the hypostatic union again?

2. Why are we alive? Did God create me for a purpose?

3. I really should finish reading that encyclical.

4. Just a few more pages.

5. I need to email that professor.

6. Do I have a paper due tomorrow?

7. Dear Lord, let me sleep.


Those are just a few things I'm thinking. If you want to know what's behind this sometimes stoic face, just ask! Trust me, I'm nicer than my walking to class face implies.

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.
