The Two Sides of Bryn Mawr College

It's not unusual in public restrooms to find the vulgar depictions of specific parts of the human anatomy, or the "I <3 [insert name here] 4ever" and the "you b****" in response. But today, in a public restroom at BMC, scribbled on the stall walls were book recommendations, philosophical statements and refutations. Whole conversations and debates... ah, Bryn Mawr....

Afterwards, in my wellness class pertaining to drugs and alcohol. The counselor asked the question "Alcohol and drugs make people do/say embarrassing things - true or false?" The general consensus around the room was evident with the visible head nods, but one girl adamantly said "No, that's not true! I do/say embarrassing things all the time." Point taken....

I'm just feeling sociable and in a great mood because I'm loving this weather so here's just some random thoughts I wanted to share.

I'm really excited for Passion 2010 in Atlanta, GA. (I was bouncing up and down in my chair in the library when I remember and looked it up.) John Piper, Francis Chan, Louie Giglio, Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman, Hillsong United, David Crowder Band, (and more) and of course seeing the body of Christ coming together to bring glory to His name. Still working out the details - registration, air fare, lodging, etc. ... comes out around $600... but hopefully I can go... praying that I do....

And this Saturday is the frosh-soph outing for grace covenant church. Looking forward to the ropes challenge course and the zip line!

I love how people do a double take when I talk about my classes; they're like "Wait, you said something about a guy in your class...? Aren't guys not allowed on your campus?" Nah, they're everywhere. My brother refers to them as the smart ones haha. And I think my family feels gyped because they thought sending me to a women's college meant taking the guys out of the picture. But sometimes I even forget that I go to an all-women's college lols.

Anyways, I should get back to work so I don't mess up this early in college. Apparently, BMC doesn't have grade inflation - dang.

Reasons to Have Christian Friends

Just an idea that popped into my head. Feel free to add on to the list!

1. We can be your designated driver when you get plastered. (And you wouldn't have to worry about being taken advantage of.)
2. We know all the best places to eat.

Making the Most of College

From the college intro series at Grace Covenant Church's Friday Night Live

Maximixing Your Freedom
True freedom is saying no to less valuable things in order to say yes the most valuable thing

List of Priorities:
1. God
2. Grades
3. Games
4. Guys

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11)
