Christian College?

     Welcome back to my college confusion. I got a letter in the mail from Houghton College about me attending their school and being a part of their honors program. The college is almost exactly 3 hours from my house; which is just within my limits. The college locked really nice and their honors program is very selective. Depending on which part of the program you choose, you get to study abroad in different places. They also have a Pre-Art Therapy program. The only difference about the college is that it is a Christian college. Their belief system is based on the Wesleyan Church; I being a Methodist myself, it would work well. At the moment I don’t go to church very often but that’s not because I don’t like it. I actually really enjoy going to church I’m just busy often and when I do go I go alone. I’ve never been a really involved Christian and I often avoid the subject of religion because I don’t want to accidentally offend someone. This said, I think I might actually like going to a Christian college. I would be expected to go to chapel Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 11-11:40. If you think about it that’s actually a short service and it’s at a good time of the day. Basically I would attend chapel as I would attend any class I would take. I don’t know what to think about this college at the moment, but I will definitely consider it.

Walkout Day!

     Today is National School Walkout Day! Students across the country  walked out of their classes at 10:00 A.M. to protest in whatever way they chose. I, as well as two other students, organized and planned our schools walkout. We got the permission of our school administrators to assure that no students that wanted to participate would get in trouble for leaving class. This also allowed us to have teachers and a couple of police officers watch over the protest. Our walkout met in the school’s auditorium. For our demonstration we created a slideshow of all 17 victims of the Parkland school shooting; giving one minute for each student.  I was honestly amazed that so many students participated and stayed quiet and respectful for all 17 minutes of the presentation. Many of today’s protests were focused on gun control, but that was not our goal. Our goal was to honor the victims of Parkland and to bring attention to the safety of our schools. I strongly believe th...

Fishing

      I’ve liked fishing since I was a little girl. I’ve always had a lot of fun going out with my family and spending time at the lake. However, my family stopped going when I was still young. I still like to fish, but I didn’t really have anyone to take me. Today my boyfriend bought me a fishing license and took me fishing with his family. I had a lot of fun. Fishing is one of his favorite things so it was nice to be able to go with him. I’m hoping that since he got me a license we will be able to go more often over the summer. I think it’ll be a good chance for us to do something together that he really enjoys.
