Hey Everyone! As I sit to write this, I am taking a break from studying for my Bib Lit test before I go to chapel. Sound familiar? Although I’m no longer at ESD, in many ways my college experience is very similar. I attend chapel twice a week and I also have a family group that I belong to which functions very similar to an advisory. My school curriculum includes biblical based classes like Biblical Literature and Christian Thought. Though some things reflect the ESD lifestyle, my college life is also very different. I have an amazing roommate who is from Oklahoma City—she has been showing me the ropes around here! Basketball is amazing; all of the girls are fun and the coaches are great. We have our first scrimmage in two days and our first game next week. Everything is happening so fast I am just so excited to get started! I have made so many friends already it is wonderful. Here at Southern Nazarene University, studying abroad is a major deal which everyone is encouraged to do, and we have many foreign exchange students on campus from Africa, Asia, and Europe. Meeting new people from different cultures has really opened my eyes to the whole world that is out there waiting to be explored! Well I have to run now, but I am glad I could give you a little insight to my new life here at college and I hope everyone is doing well!-ESD Graduate 2009, Southern Nazarene University Freshman
