Today marks exactly one week since this exciting, new college journey began. And I already feel wiser. Here are a few things I have learned:
1.Chick-fil-a always tastes better at 11:00pm surround by a group of crazy college kids. I have no idea why, it just does.
2. It takes aproximately T-Minus half a second for a perfectly spotless dorm room to look like it just experienced a level 5 tornado.
3. Sometimes your suitemates don't love you. You just have to get over that. There must just be something about building relationships based on the common ground of sharing a bathroom that doesn't spark up life long friendships. Or the fact that both parties tend to lock each other out of using said bathroom. The only difference is you let it slide, and they put you on the whipping post. Metephorically. Of course....
4. Most professors don't care to make class interesting like lower level teaches do. They are whizzes at their subject and they teach it. They could almost care less about making it pleasurable for you.
5. You never know who you are going to meet. There are some pretty incredible people at college- stay open to them. They may just hold every means to change your life for the better.
6. Arkadelphia mosquitos stop at nothing. They can penatrate even the toughest bug spray force feild. (And they love B+ blood...)
Good and bad, I sure do love this place. I have only lived here for about two weeks, but I already call this place home. I can already tell; these next four years are sure to be the best years of my life! (Cue stereotypical movie soundtrack for my sterotypical last sentance.)

New Season
I just logged on for the first time in a year and what I saw was pretty disturbing. I'm not even going to lie. So, first off, please take this as a formal apology for all the melodramatic, poorly typed posts that decided to creep into a spot on my blog and disquise themselves as my thoughs. Hmmm, well I have absolutely no idea how those could have gotten there... ;) However, don't worry folks; it's time for a new season. So, ready or not, here we go.
God is so good; astoundingly so. It is mind blowing to see on paper where I used to be, but it proves even more how miraculous it is that I am not that girl anymore. I should not be where I am. There is nothing that I have ever done, nor could ever do that is deserving of God's redemption. Yet, somehow He looked down on me and saw... love. With love- and save me. Because He is Love. God is not only my creator, former, true love, best friend, but now also: My hero, my savior. He saved me from myself and the sin that can only come from the great deviever. If you would have met me a year and a half ago and then saw me today, you would think you were talking to two completely different people. There is one thing you can be sure of- when God changes you, it's evident. I am so thankful that I don't have to be that other girl anymore. I will never lose that girl- she helped make me who I am today- but I don't have to look back! Praise God that there is now NO condemnation through Christ Jesus!
It's astounded how God sees just where you are, and will bring just the right people into your life to help dig you out of that place. And that is just what God did for me, and my life will never be the same. I remember one of my fatal mistakes was, not just searching for the love I felt was lacking from my family, but not knowing that I was searching in ALL the wrong places. God is Abba, Father. And He wants to meet you just where you are. Last summer, one of my dearest friends and a young woman I would trust my life to told me these words, "There are three kinds of love- Love IF (If you do this, if you do that...), Love BECAUSE (because you are this way, because you look this way...), and then Love PERIOD." And that is Christ's love- Love PERIOD. Dispite what you have done, despite who you used to be. You have been washed by the blood of the lamb. Jesus was OUR sacrifical atonement. Because of Him, when our Father looks on us, He does not see our failures or the places where we fall short. Instead? He sees His Son. We had been forgiven even before our sins were committed.
I am so thankful for my savior! His ways are perfect, and His timing is impecible. So the time is now. It's a new season. And not just for me, the same is true for every person. Try God- His the one thing that will never let you down. :)

Is New Year really anything new?
So, HURRAY! 2011 has officially arrived. Everyone is giddy with excitement that they now have a new time to reinvent themselves, start a new year worry- free. Now is the time to pick a few resolutions, and hope to God you at least follow them for a month or so (If you are lucky..). But here's the thing. Resolutions can be a bit monotonous. Every January you attempt to discipline your self only to find dismay when your far fetched goals just couldn't quite be grasped... I bet u are sick of telling yourself "So and so, you are going to loose 30 lbs this year" only to end up, well: not. I found this quirky little list of New Year's Resolutions that just about ANY person would be able to keep all year round. :P Check it out....
New Year's Resolutions You Can Keep
===================================
Have you broken your last New Year's Resolutions?
Well, here's a rather crazy list that you can keep.
1. Gain weight. At least 30 pounds.
2. Stop exercising. Waste of time.
3. Read less. Makes you think.
4. Watch more TV. You've been missing some good stuff.
5. Procrastinate more. Starting tomorrow.
6. Stop bringing lunch from home: Eat out more.
7. Get in a whole NEW rut!
8. Spend your summer vacation in Cyberspace.
9. Don't eat cloned meat.
10. Create loose ends.
11. Get more toys.
12. Get further in debt.
13. Don't believe politicians.
14. Break at least one traffic law.
15. Avoid airplanes that spontaneously drop 1000 feet.
16. Don't swim with piranhas or sharks.
17. Associate with even worse business clients.
18. Spread out priorities beyond ability to keep track of them.
19. Wait around for opportunity.
20. Focus on the faults of others.
21. Mope about faults.
22. Never make New Year's resolutions again. :P
HAHAHA Have a Super Happy 2011! God Bless, Kathleen <3

E- energetically apathetic
I- Imensely imminent
D- Devestating Deviant
I- Increasingly Imprudent
I <3 you, short blonde child.
