College > High School

You know I might have talked about this before on here, but that’s ok. The other day I took some students down to Ozark Christian College for a college visit. I am an alumnus of Ozark and I just graduated last May. I still have friends that attend the school. While I was there I got to eat in the café, go to chapel and go to a class, it was like I was in college again. While my students were taking a tour of the campus I went and hung out in my old dorm, because I went to school there for 4 ½ years I know where stuff is already, I don’t need to take a tour. While I was hanging out with some old friends, it made me realize that I really do miss college. College was the best. I can honestly say that college has been the best 4 ½ years of my life. Why you might ask? Well I will tell you. I built great relationship with friends, learned about the Godly man I am suppose to be, and it was crazy fun. O and I was trained to be a youth minster, which is an awesome job. I lived in a dorm with 90 of my friends, and on a floor with 35 of my friends. You always could find someone to hang out. You could always find something to do (dumb or not.) It made me sad when people told me your friendships with the people you went to high school with fade away. After I got to college and establish new friendships with people I was perfectly ok with not having strong connections with my friends with high school, because my college friend I will forever have bonds with. College was a blast for me. It helped make me the man I am today. I also found my future wife there. (Added Bonus!!) So if you think you don’t want to go to college. Don’t be dumb and go. College is great. Was college awesome for you?

  1. Unfortunately I didn't go away to college. My university is 5 minutes from my house, but I have realized my intellectual capacity, experienced some spiritual growth, and have made many new friends. I think college is great! You learn a lot and not just about the subjects of your major, but about who you are as a person!
