To all of you starting college for the first time in a couple of weeks, you know how I feel. This is no kindergarten, middle school, or high school jitters. We are entering an entire different chapter of our lives. There are so many questions and concerns. How am I going to make friends? What if I get homesick? What if I am late to my classes or what if I change my idea about what I want for my future? These questions are on constant replay in my mind.
While I am writing this, I am watching (or really listening to…) Joel Olsteen. Joel is a TV evangelist and I’ve been watching him since I was in grade school. He’s talking about being positive and keeping negative thoughts at bay. It’s hard to stop negative thoughts because that’s purely human. But he says that if you verbalize your negative thoughts, you’re keeping yourself from a blessing.
