Confessions of a New College Student

I’ve now been at college for about two months, give or take a few days. With everything I have been learning, there are a couple of conclusions I have drawn about college students in general and obviously, myself. 1. You will live at coffee shops Ok, well. Maybe not literally, but basically – yeah. You might as…… Continue reading Confessions of a New College Student

Faithful Butterflies

Yesterday, I was walking back to my dorm. My backpack filled with binders and school supplies bounced against my spine, straps secured over my shoulders. The summer heat and classic southern humidity filled the atmosphere, making me hurry towards the air-conditioned building: Ridgecrest South. It loomed in the near distance – students exiting and entering…… Continue reading Faithful Butterflies

Good Guys V.S. Bad Guys

Alright y’all, so I’m not really sure where I’m going with this blog post 😉 I’ve had a couple of ideas and thoughts floating around in my head, and figured I might as well try to put them into a cohesive mix-up of words and phrases. Lord willing, this will come together as some sort…… Continue reading Good Guys V.S. Bad Guys

What I Learned My First Week of College

Ok. Not going to lie – writing the title of this post was weird. Me? In college? Yeah, it’s kind of crazy. Really insane in an odd way.

Why do many famous…… Continue reading When Being Drunk Is Good

Victory in Jesus

Yesterday, as I was sitting in the car, my mind began to wonder. Sometimes when that happens it’s a good thing, a creative idea will come to me or I’ll remember something I had forgotten. Other times, when my thoughts drift off, they’ll jump onboard the “Fear/Anxiety Train.” Unfortunately, I was on my way to…… Continue reading Victory in Jesus

The Guardians of the Galaxy Movie Review

Recently, I watched The Guardians of the Galaxy for the first time. This was definitely different than any Marvel movie I’ve seen before, with it being set in a much bigger universe than the others. Of course, Thor’s movies have also been set in space, with some Earth scenes; this, however, was different. It gave…… Continue reading The Guardians of the Galaxy Movie Review

Resting In God When The World Is Going Crazy

This past year, my senior year, I duel-enrolled at a local college. During my second semester, I took Bio 2 and found it fascinating (minus one section *ahem* parasites/bacteria/etc). Anyway. We were learning how everything on Earth is connected and how global warming is affecting it. Here’s the short spill on it – I promise…… Continue reading Resting In God When The World Is Going Crazy
