Well... I'm at college now. These past 3 days have been pretty interesting to say the least. I've never seen so many young adults in my life. It's cool just meeting people and doing stuff on your own. The responsiblity factor just sorta skyrocketed for me. Picking classes was a nightmare. Today is pretty much the last day to pick classes so obviously my choices were slim. It sorta sucks but ehh.. you get over it. I hit up a frat party last night with some kids I met. I'm not gonna lie, it was bumpin but it's just sorta hilarious how much it is like TV. I was catching the bus back to my dorm and I ran into these 3 drunk upperclassmen girls who were waiting for a ride too. Beautiful people. It's crazy how this world is. I feel like they're gonna be awesome parents but it seems like they're just trying to get the most out of their youth. Party it up woooooot!!! It's whatever. To be honest it's pretty cool here though. The food is decent, the people are nice and there's stuff to do. The first night I figured out how crucial having ear plugs is. Not being able to sleep because of partiers in the streets is pretty lame. Hopefully I'll be able to hook up a DJ gig sometime soon and make some money. I feel like my skills could definitely be used.
My roommate is an internation chinese student. He speaks english but it's really slow sometimes so it's hard to be patient with him because 2 minute conversations take 15. He's a nice guy though, he gave me a fan for a roommate present. I was reading the bible before I went to bed and he asked what I was reading and when I told him he was puzzled. I figured out that he had never heard of the bible before and he doesn't really have a grasp around religion. He kept referring to it as like Western culture or something like that. It seems like it was just a class for him or something and that's all he knows about it. It's crazy how blessed we are to be free in this country. He says in China they can't watch cartoons after age 9 or something like that, and he said that he just found power rangers on the internet and thinks they're cool. It's wild how the world works in certain places. I just pray that he'll get the most out of his experience here. He seems like a good kid.
I was reading from the book of Isaiah last night and I came across something I read before that I underlined.
"Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins! But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God's paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all."
Isaiah 53:4-6
The word of God is just beautiful. The sacrifice is even more beautiful. As I meet new people and just sort of see how different everyone is and how much they try to impress other people, certain things within me remain the same. God is Lord Almighty, and I trust Him and His plan for me more than anything in this world. School's gonna be tough at times, but I know He'll get me through. I hope everyone's having an awesome time at school and I just want you all to have fun and stay safe!
Keep The Peace
