Packing for College...The Bathroom

Hey guys, I’m here to tell you about somethings you will need to pack for the bathroom when you go to college. I guarantee when you get to college there will be something you forget for the bathroom, but I’m here to help you when it comes time to take the great leap and go to college.

To start things off is just a simple list of things you will want in your medicine cabinet.

Packing for College...The Kitchen

When it comes time to go to college, the hardest part for most is leaving home.  However, deciding what to pack is difficult as well.  Of course, you don’t want to pack all of your things but you also want to make sure you pack everything you need.  The focus of this post will be on necessary kitchen items.

A College Sized Faith - Awana

            As a Christian, it is really important to me to continually seek after and strengthen my relationship with Christ. This can be difficult in college, where you are always busy with other things, but college is also the most important time to rely on Jesus since you encounter all kinds of crazy situations. Personally, it is really difficult for me to read my Bible daily and actually finish Bible studies, but I had help by becoming involved at the AWANA program at a nearby church. AWANA (All Workmen Are Not Ashamed, after 2 Timothy 2:15) is a Bible program for preschoolers-highschool seniors and focuses on Scripture Memorization. There are handbooks with Bible verses, Bible studies and Bible book summaries to memorize and complete each year. Awana meets once a week at churches all around the world and teaches kids about God and how to form a relationship with Him.

Fernweh

     An ache for distant places; the craving for travel

Two days after arriving home from college, my family and I left for a weeklong vacation in Maui, Hawaii. Since we have not had a proper vacation in years, due to young children and expenses, we figured this was the year to have an adventure. So, I basically arrived home, dumped all my stuff in my room, packed a bag and we were off!

A Look to the Future

Hi everyone!
At our last blog meeting the five of us had a discussion about our plan for this summer. We won't be seeing each other until everyone is back on campus at the end of August and each of us have a job for the summer. However, none of us wanted to take a break from this, we wanted to continue writing  even over the summer. And so, we made a plan for the future of Friends at the Woods and we wanted to share this with you.

Me-Time in College

Hey everyone! Today I am writing this in my room at home, William Woods had finals this week and I was finished in Tuesday afternoon and by the time this is posted, most everyone else will be done with finals there too. Most other schools have one more week before they are finished so good luck to all of you!

In college there are so many things to balance and Jennah gave us some tips on that here. One of the things we must juggle is our health; physical, mental, and emotional. I gave some tips on keeping physically healthy here, but today I am going to talk about the mental and emotional side of staying healthy. I know I am not an expert on this topic but after a year in college I have a few tips about staying sane in the insane atmosphere of college.

Quidditch at William Woods

At the beginning of the year I went to the club fair and guess what? I signed up for Quidditch, I like Harry Potter and my house is Hufflepuff. When we come together though, it doesn’t matter what house you are or what school you go to. It’s a game muggles play and love it or just love the game, either way it’s still fun.
