My Favorite Collegiate Things:
Roommates. Hot tea in a cool teacup from who knows where. Pretending I can actually play sports for intramurals. Workout buddies. And going to bed early, just because I can.
I needed a little inspiration to get me through this crazy productive homework and accomplishing stuff time. So here it is… where I’ll be in FOUR MONTHS!! Wahooooo!!
Oof. Move out day for my roommate is overwhelming in itself. Then add the amount of homework I still need to do, plus I have to apply for RA and my summer job still. And i have to rearrange the room once my roomie leaves. It should be an interesting day. Praying for survival.
3 Things. Or more.
Stuff I need to remember:
1. Prayer is the best medicine.
2. God has the plan.
3. Do your homework.
4. Lists are really great. Probably the best worldy thing there is.
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
—Matthew 6:25-34
ahhhhhhh
I’m overwhelmed. But in a good way. I decided to break from homework (before I even started) to blog. Of course. I finished my first day of classes today…I’m really looking forward to my classes! (So far). Old Testament should be super informative and such. If my book ever comes in.
But I was on a waitlist for Public Speaking, and I was going to enroll in that (even though I don’t want to take it. ever). And then Lizzy comes in and was like “I just signed up for Italian!”. And a lightbulb went off. And now…you guessed it…I’m taking Italian. ITALIAN. I’m freakin’ pumped. I’ll be all ready for Italy in May…WOW.
So yeah. I also found out today that my roommate (my direct) is moving out. Biggest bummer ever. So I’m gonna have a room to myself…not sure how I feel about that. But it’ll be okay. Literally every big thing in our apartment is hers…down to the showerhead, shower curtain, microwave, and trash cans. Oof. She said she’d leave that kind of stuff here until the end of the year though. So, that’s cool.
Okay I should probably work on my homework now. For Economics. The class I was dreading, but now am surprisingly looking forward to. I shall leave with this verse (that was in both my quiet time, and our choir devos today - obviously God wants me to remember it).
Matthew 6:25-34
I’ll post it later.
Have you (oh strangers of the Tumblr world) ever almost missed a flight? It is a supremely terrifying experience. I almost did today, but not because I was late. I was at the gate, and I had a while so I turned on Netflix, and started a movie on my phone. Next thing I know I look up and the gate is basically empty, and the attendants are closing the door to the plane. Dang. Ran in, and less than a minute later the flight attendants were giving flight instructions and we were taking off. Note to self: never use headphones in an airport again.
Today I’m heading back to Colorado. My break actually went really fast, but I’m ready to go back. The Lord has taught me so much this break, and I can’t wait to act on what I’ve learned at school. I’m nervous for my classes though…Economics homework for the first day?? It’s like a ridiculous AP class…but worse. Hmm. We’ll just have to see how long that lasts…
