This is my typical morning on campus: Class at 8:50, an hour and a half in Starbucks working on the blog, orders, & homework, and then three classes back to back. A venti drink is just what I need to keep me going for the long days of being a student. As most of y'all know I go to Liberty in Lynchburg,VA...one of the most well known Christian universities around the world. There are a lot of stereotypes that follow attending here but it's not quite as bad as many of you may think, if at all. I transferred to LU from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. And though a part of my heart will always be there with my sisters and the memories I made, Lynchburg has helped to define who I am.Because of the stereotype, I thought I would share my favorite things about attending. Everyone has their own opinion, but I personally love it! 1. Everyone always dresses up for class. There isn't some strange girl wearing a see-through mesh top with no bra on sitting near you in your beginner anthropology class (yes this happened the me at VCU) or the girl that always upstages everyone with what they wear. Because of the dress code, people always look their best. Let's face it LU is a pretty good looking school.2. The professors are always willing to talk through whatever you need with you. Many professors will say that they offer office hours but fail to comply. However, that's very different here. Professors take time to sit with students and talk about class or personal things going on. There's never a time where a professor won't take time to help a student. The community that is involved with that is immense. 3. The community within the majors. When I first transferred in, I never thought I would meet so many amazing people in and outside of my major. But some of the favorite friendships and people I've met are people who I sit beside in sewing class or help adjust my mannequin in my large display window. I can't imagine being in a better place where there are always friendly people there to talk fashion or just life in general. 4. Though I might complain that there could be different classes, the classes that I do have, have actually expanded my knowledge. I know that that's what they're supposed to do, but I am able to look at every day life and apply what I'm learning. That's a far cry from anything I've learned in past places of education. 5. There will always be someone to listen; an open ear for you. I have to say, I used to hate being the person to ask for prayer. That idea seems stupid now, but once I realized that there really was no judgment I was free to share my prayer requests or praises when starting each class.
