College Life, Part 1

     After six weeks of classes now already behind me, I feel like my very first college semester is just flying by. It is absolutely astonishing to me how many memories I have already made in such a short period of time, and how many friendships are already starting to grow, not to mention the great friendship that is coming out of an amazing roommate situation that could have only come from God.  
   My lack of sleep is being made up for by the amount of activities that I am able to fill my free time with, including listening to amazing speakers who want nothing more than the share the word of Jesus Christ, hall activities that include late-night trips get ice cream (yum!), and even a new discipleship group where we'll be studying the book of James all year long. With all of these exciting and intriguing activities, there is also no shortage of studying, which is obviously to be expected. Though some classes are more exciting than others, I am learning so much from each of them. This semester I have the wonderful opportunity to be taking three major-specific classes, all of which are already preparing me for my future, and affirming my choice in Management.
     Currently, my favorite class that I am taking is Business Law, much to my mom's surprise. In my experience, enjoying classes depend on not the material being taught, but the one teaching the material, and this class just happens to have both of those categories going for it. With my love for crime shows still in full effect, and my sense of humor the way it is, this class seems to be made for me. The professor is one of the best I've had, for he not only is well-versed in law, but he knows how to teach to students, by providing relatable examples and slipping in humor that makes even the most uptight students laugh out loud. Though I don't see myself switching my major to law because of this class, I have certainly gained a fresh love for learning which has expanded to my other five classes.
     I knew that college would greatly impact myself in the way I see the world, but I never knew how much it would impact my personality (for the better) and my way of thinking, especially this quickly. I am so grateful for this experience, and I can only thank God for getting me here to pursue not only a future for myself, but, more importantly, pursue Him with more and more of my heart everyday.
