Ramblings of a bored college student

It is that time of the year, the time when I get to give something up for 40 days/nights. A little time I like to call Lent. Now you may think, Brynn you are not Catholic, well I know, but I "practice"? Lent anyways. Jesus wasn't Catholic was he, haha?

Lent comes from Matthew 4:1-11, when Jesus went out into the desert for 40 days and nights and was tempted by Satan. To me Lent is a time when you can give up something that is meaningful, maybe even difficult for you to do. I think it is supposed to show you that Christ strengthens us in ways we don't even realize until we are faced with challenge. I know some people might say how does giving up eating out/soda (what I have chosen to give up) strengthen my relationship with Christ? Well the point for me is every time I am tempted to go to Panera and buy a bowl of Broccoli Cheddar soup and get a DP it makes me think of Lent, ie Jesus and the ultimate sacrifice he made for me. It is a constant reminder of Christ for me, maybe other people don't see it that way or think that's a stretch but that is what Lent means to me.

That being said...

There are only 8 weeks of classes left !!! I only have 9 weeks left of my Junior year, then I will be a freaking SENIOR!!!! WHAT!?!?! How in the world am I almost a Senior in college, it's just not right. Time flies by. I will admit I am so stoked for Senior year, but I hate knowing it's almost over.

I am so excited for Spring Break - which starts next Friday - yeah I know what you're thinking, Spring Break in the WINTER!!! CNU is crazy in case you were wondering. I am going to visit my Big Laura up in Northern VA for the first couple days of break, then I am going home to Roanoke, sitting on my keister and doing nothing - which is code for I will be working at Katie's and doing lots and lots of homework. I can't wait to go visit my soccer boys and hopefully see the Dowdy's :)

Random post I know, but I am random so I hope you enjoyed it haha
