And The Journey Begins

If you have not already, go check out the about me section of my blog in order to know what this blog is all about.


.... And the journey begins.

As of Saturday, January 14th, 2017, I have been at my dream college for exactly a week. If you didn't know, I attend a private Christian University called Southwestern Assemblies of God University (SAGU). I am considered a freshman although I have the credits to be considered a sophomore ( but that's a different story ).
So far, I am loving this school so much! I am making a ton of great friends, wonderful roommate and suite mates, loving all of my classes, and most of all, growing closer to the Lord. If you didn't know on top of regular academics, SAGU has a main focus on God and ministry. We are an Assemblies of God based school which also includes being a mission minded school. This school is growing me spiritually and mentally more and more every single day. I have five classes total, two classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and three classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays. Then we have Chapel everyday except Mondays. It is not as hard as it sounds.
We have a modest dress code which again is not as hard as it sounds and very rewarding when people compliment you around campus on how pretty you look or how good your hair looks today, or how cute your outfit is. Whatever is may be, the peers around you here at SAGU love on everyone and make sure that everyone has a great day.
I have my room completely set up and adjusting very well to my new surroundings. I have not had any home sickness yet, but I'm sure that it will come eventually since I am 1,000 miles from home. I am learning all of the routines that occur on campus and will be joining a club/ministry here on campus this week.
Everyone here, the students, staff, and the profs are all great and so nice. everyone is always wanting to know you and help you with whatever you need which is such an amazing blessing. I have had an amazing first week and I cannot wait for many more to come. Let the journey begin.

Step Out of Your Comfort Zone

This is a topic that I wish I had listened to whenever I was going off to college. This is something I am experiencing now and so proud of myself for. I have been an on campus college student for about two weeks now and loving it. Although, I do not think that I would be loving it as much as I do if I hadn't met the friends that I did. I huge problem that I have had my entire life is talking to people, meeting new people, and being in new surroundings, just that entire realm of social skills. Luckily, over the last couple years I have found myself and realize that God is in control of every situation and nothing is impossible if I have Him on my side. So since I moved to an entirely different state, across the country, I made it a point to find my group of friends and with God's blessings, I have actually found multiple group of friends and ones that have the same hobbies as I do but yet they are different from each other. I have found a group of girls to workout with i...

Must Have School Supplies for College

Whenever I was looking online at sites like Pinterest and YouTube to see what were some really good school supplies for going off to college, I was kind of looking all over the place. There was no consistent list of must haves for college school supplies. In this post I am going to list the school supplies that I decided to buy in order to help me in school. Laptop - I had a laptop and received a new one for Christmas that has been a lifesaver while I have been in school. Not only will you use it for school work, you will love it on the weekends when you just want to have those Netflix nights in your dorm all cuddled up on a rainy day. Notebook(s) -  I decided to invest in a Five Star Five Subject Notebook for school because I knew that I was enrolled in five classes so instead of having to remember each notebook for each class, I am able to just grab that one and go to class. If you prefer to have single notebooks for each class instead, that would work too...
