Created

"The same person who created the minuscule amoebas and the majestic mountains, the delicate purple orchid and the deep blue ocean, the sun that shines by day and the stars that glow by night. The very same all-wise, all-knowing, all-powerful God, used His special touch to create you." ~Andrea Stephens



This is an amazing, beautiful, eye-opening quote. But, I couldn't just read it....my college experience has taught me to 'unpack' it....so I did.

Biology: The minuscule amoebas....right now we are studying cells. Something so small, yet so complex. A lipid membrane to regulate the entrance and exciting of ions. Enzymes that rely on each other to carry out life processes. They all work together as a team...a cell....an amoeba...the cells in a delicate purple orchid, holding it together, sustaining it, carrying out the process of photosynthesis to created oxygen for us! For you and for me!!!

Chemistry: they hydrogen bonding of the water molecules in the deep blue ocean. (or even in a small lake, allowing the ice to form on top of the lake for the fish underneath to have water, not ice)

Philosophy: Currently, we are discussing the problem of evil, basing it on the characteristics of God, he is.....all-wise, all-knowing, and all-powerful.



The next time you read something, stop and unpack it. You have a brain for a reason. What you learn in your education should be taken out into the world. Use it! Think, use that amazing brain (full of neurons that are firing as I type, sending messages around my body without me consciously thinking)


Fun fact: Soap is made of lipids. The hydrophobic (afraid of water) side is what bonds to all the dirt and grim on your body. The other part of the lipid is hydrophilic (water loving) causing the lipid along with the connected dirt to follow the path of the water, off your body, and down the drain!!!

Star Tipping

Last night I went to a hunted corn maize….talk about exciting. It was our floor date with 2nd VD. We had to go into the maize 5 at a time, although we all ended up together. Some of the people would follow us around and jump out from behind stuff (the typical haunted corn maize). Although at the end of the night, everyone agreed it wasn’t that exciting. It still was a ton of fun, and I was able to get to know a lot more people! After we went to stake n’ shake for a midnight snack! Again, just hanging out and meeting people was a lot of fun! Then, when we got back to the dorm, we went star tipping…..funnest thing ever! You spin around 20 times looking at the stars (really the sky because when you spin around you can’t tell the difference), then you have a friend standing on the opposite side of the commons lawn, holding a flashlight. Your goal is to run to the flashlight…sounds simple right? WRONG! Your whole body leans one way and you eventually fall over! Funnest thing to do, funnest thing to watch! So, try it out sometime!
