Sooo before I got to college everyone said “College is where you find yourself… blah blah blah” I always thought it was BS simply bcuz I knew (or thought I knew) who I was… Howeverrr, now that I’m here I think I get what they meant. I think they meant in college you solidify everything you’ve been taught as true or false. For example, from birth, I’ve been in church, without an option. I’m not saying that I didn’t like it bcuz I love my church to death, but I didn’t really have a choice of whether or not I was going unless I was sick, we were snowed in, or we were on vacation. But now that I’m at college, going to church is a choice. Now I must admit that my church attendance has dropped drastically, but my relationship with Christ truly hasn’t suffered. Being away from home, I’ve learned that its my responsibility to stay close to God and keep our relationship strong. In many ways college has made my religion better. Now for people that aren’t religious, I’ll give another example: drinking, smoking, partying, etc. I’ve never been a drinker, smoker, or partier, not only bcuz of health reason, but that’s just who I am. Everyone said “Oh, once you go to college that will change” and I can honestly say it hasn’t. Yes, there is more pressure to join in on those things, but I’ve been successful (thus far) at saying NO. So what you’ve gotten so far is that college hasn’t changed me much. But thats not true either, college has taught me to try new things and new avenues to get my message and point of view across, simply bcuz most people don’t see things the way I see them (idk if thats a good thing or a bad thing.) And in all this enlightenment, I see all the possibilities of the things I can become (both good and bad.) My trouble right now is the identity crisis and/or figuring out how I’m going to get where I want to get, while still doing the “right” things (according to my parents)… one day I want tattoos, the next I want piercings, one day I want long nails, and the next day (today lol) i clip them all off, one day I want long hair (my weave) and the next I want dreads… who knows what I really want… I just know I want to be unique bcuz like 1Peter 2:9 says we are called to be a peculiar people… idk if i’m taking this too literally or not but whatever, I just know I wanna try something new, like ASAP… who knows what or who ;) that will be… ok now i’m just rambling… toodles for now
