yo, i hope everyone's spring break is aweesome! (hope you drexel people are studying hard :] )
some random thoughts/questions i want to share.
I've begun to wonder what it's like to go to a school someplace far from where your from. I mean, I go Temple University, it's like... 30 minutes from home. my home church is in philly chinatown, i see old friends that attend Temple, and funny has it, my older brother is in the same school :) but what is like to go to a school totally different? i mean, i love temple, philadelphia, and everything it has to offer, i can't ask for anything more.. but i still think. who would i be, what would i be? i never lived so far that it takes a plane ride to get back to my parents and to literally not being familiar with the city itself! the people, how they sound; okay, im being stereotypical, but honestly. if i was in the south, i would think everyone would sound like different, you know? cowboy-sounding. apparently they dont. (the georgian girls proved me wrong) :P
I wonder how it feels, the experiences. I imagine if I went to a school in the west coast, or the deep south. or anywhere far away, how different would it be! i know a lot of people in my church at the University City site come from all around the country (even out of the country!) that's nuts. can you tell me how it feels? What is the most interesting thing to be out of your "comfort zone". I really don't know how it is. maybe you might?
I would have to say that the most interesting thing to be out of your "comfort zone" is having to trust God a lot more than when back at home. No matter how much you want to, living in college far away from home means there's no 'safe zone' to count on and so, you end up spending a lot more time depending on God.
ReplyDeleteAs a side note, it kinda feels like going to camp. From grades 4 to 8 I had camp once a year for school which was for like 3 days. College is almost like camp but for far longer and much more work.
