Wow College is Hard

Wow College is hard. I really don’t have a clue about what is going on, and I don’t really know what to do next. There is no easy button, and no one really to give you advice on anything unless you can find an upperclassman that knows everything and is willing to help you out. I didn’t expect it to be this tough, I really didn’t. I don’t understand how I can work, get all my classes set up, and do everything I need to do to make everyone happy. I don’t want you to misunderstand me—I am having a great time, I’m just a little lost. Tomorrow is going to be extremely tough for me….I have my first day of work in the morning, I have to take a couple of placement tests, meet with my advisor, register for classes, go to the first meeting with all the students for the year , and go back to work again tomorrow evening. It will be a very long day, so if you could be praying for me I would appreciate it so much!

Besides all the stresses of things going on, I have had a great time. I have a really amazing friend named Nicole, God totally set us up together for a purpose. I t was so random how we met, but we are so much alike and have been a big blessing to each other the past two days. She is in the room across the hall, but I have a feeling we will be together more than me and my roommates. Speaking of the roommate situation, it has been quite interesting. I only have one right now, and she is a very amusing person. She is extremely nice, but we are exact opposites and didn’t off to the greatest start. Her name is Jinn, she is Korean, and she screamed at me the first time she saw me in the room. We’ll have to see what happens in the future with our relationship, haha. We are still waiting on the arrival of our other two roommates, who will be here by tomorrow night. I hope they are chill and we get along ok, I really need some more friends to hang out with…or at least I feel like I do because I’ve only talked to a couple of people since I’ve been here.

I am on the 7th floor of my building, and the elevators haven’t been working very well since I got here. Needless to say, I have walked up and down those flights of stairs SEVERAL times…ugghhh. I thought I would get fat coming to college, but it looks like I may lose a few pounds…or twenty.

Other than that I have a squeaky bed, a bathroom to share with 7 other girls, and more things to do than I could even fit into an entire lifetime. God is good, college is hard, and Psalms 37:3-5 is a passage of scripture I need to read every day to keep me going. “Trust in the Lord and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. COMMIT THY WAY UNTO THE LORD; TRUST ALSO IN HIM AND HE SHALL BRING IT TO PASS.”

I need to look at every day as an opportunity to serve God… to glorify him by casting all my cares on him…I need to let go and let God lead as I enter this critical stage of my life. I may not like how things turn out, but God has a purpose and a plan for everything…I just need to remember that.
