Just some things I'm finding that I love about being a student at Harding University::
1. When you sneeze, class basically stops because at least 10 people ARE going to Bless You immediately.
2. I go entire days here without touching a door. The boys around here are quite the southern gentlemen.
3. I only sit in a classroom 11 hours out of the whole week.
4. Duffel bags are OUT. Backpacks are IN.
5. Everyone and their mom has Skype.
6. #chapeltweet
7. You can sleep or not sleep at any hour of any day and nobody think you're sick or weird or any kind of anything except a normal college kid.
8. You don't have to worry about being broke. Everybody is broke!
9. LOTS of new facebook friends with LOTS of goooooood facebook posts.
10. Everybody has their own cute accent.
11. Walmart is a recreational event.
12. Tennis is a real class with a real grade and real credit.
13. Kaley is my roommate.
14. My parents aren't here to tell me No.
15. Actually, no one at all is here to tell me No.
16. A church service JUST for college kids exists. And it starts at 10:30pm. Fun? Yeah!
17. The shoe variety here is ALL new to me.
18. Java City.
19. Having my own mailbox with my own address.
20. Getting packages at my own address in my own mailbox.
21. No busy work in your classes.
22. The classes that you have no busy work in are classes you actually want to learn in.
23. The teachers actually teach you things.
24. The things you learn are things you actually need in life.
25. God is everywhere here.

Forgot to Say it Out Loud
Whoa. I haven't done this in a while. I really should, 'cause it's sorta fun in a -wonder-if-anyone-wants-to-know-what's-up-in-my-life kinda way.
So what have I been up to? First off, I headed to college. I'm living in Searcy, going to classes, making new friends and missing my Boy at home. And I'm happy. I know that HU is where God wanted me to be. I fit there. I have a sense of belonging that I never even had at my own home in Salem. High school was a tough process for me (that's another story) and I'm so thrilled and thankful that college doesn't appear to be that same old mess. I hope it's not too soon to say so.
As happy as I am in Searcy, I've been coming back to my hometown A LOT. This is, of course, for a guy. An extremely important one. I miss him all the time, even when I'm with him and, in case you don't already know, long-distance relationships are suuuper difficult. As far as just the relationship is concerned, there simply aren't a lot of perks. But I can't change a thing. I couldn't leave him. I'm some kinda mess over this guy and I couldn't be happier about it. I'm thinking in long term here, and I hope we can make it happen.
People think I'm silly for adding the stress of a boyfriend to the craziness of college life, but people have been telling me I'm silly for a long, long time. It doesn't affect my decisions. Ha!
There's also the roommate that I feel I need to mention. Living with K is a blast! Nobody could be a better fit for me. I know for a fact that God let me have her and I feel so blessed to get to share my college experience with her. She's like my best friend now and I can't wait to keep on having too much fun with her.
Another friend that I quickly clicked with, tho, is P and she is unfortunately gone now. I miss her a ton and I hope she'll be back in January. P, if you're reading this, what happened was crazy unfair and you're severely missed at Harding, okay? Also....I think you should come visit! :)
Something that isn't going as smoothly as I'd hoped is my major. It doesn't seem like a very practical major and as much as I love it, I have no idea what to do with it as a career! I know I have a lot of time left to decide so I'm just going to keep praying that God has a specific strategy that He'll share with me in the future. I'm confident that everything will work out as it should.
In the meantime, I'm just going to keep loving my Boy, laughing all the time, being free, and going places!
Sorry this was such a brief and random post. I'll try to do better and post more often. My life has been a hot mess lately!
