Pomps (Splendor) and Circumstance ('s of life)

I have just entered my last day before I graduate from University and it is crazy to think that I have made it at all. This has been one of the most amazing experiences I have had. So many AMAZING people contributing to phenomenal memories. Who could ask for more. These past few years south of the Mason-Dixon line has changed my perception and taught me a great many things; Sweet tea is not for a northern, Chic-fil-a is for everyone, one of the best places to escape to is a bookstore or awesome coffee shop, and I think I may have contracted a drawl (scary I know, but that's what you get from having one of your best friends from NC).

Although these are important aspects to take further into life, there were a great many things I have learned which exceed the former.

Christ is indescribable and I can't believe I have the privilege to serve Him.
Don't take things at face value.
The best music is not found on the top 40!
Serving others causes many eye opening experiences.
A 12 hour drive to Chicago, staying for 6 hours and driving 12 hours back to the Burg is necessary!
Be intentional
As humans, we are resilient, we will bounce back.
It is OK if your hair is pink, it is not a testament to who you are.
Opening your heart to others is hard, it may even suck, but it is so important (in moderation).
Embrace the moments in life, they are gone in a flash.
Titus 2
Death does not stop a legacy.
Galatians 1:10
U2 has the power to blow your mind.
The beach will bring you clarity.
Be Real
Think of others. There are always people who are hurting.
104 LOVE
Water is a beautiful thing.
God can take you anywhere and teach you anything at anytime. Be prepared.
Family is so important.
The church is so important. A group of people united in LOVE.
Numbers 6:24-26

These are just some of the things that I have learned. University has taught me so much and most of it was outside of the classroom. I am so blessed by the University I have attended. Liberty was an amazing time of my life. The people have molded me and pushed me to the person I am. God is LOVE. I don't know what is coming in the future and what God has in store for me in the next "chapter" of my life, but I know that Jesus will help me and the Spirit will guide me. I can't believe how blessed I am. I can only say one thing in response to my experience at college;

LOVE
