Hoedown Throwdown.

Ok so I never did get the opportunity to do the hoedown throwdown at Taylor's Hoedown Night, but I did have a great time square dancing! The activities began around 2pm, where they split us into our "O-Groups" and we did competitions. We even got to play a popular Miracle Camp game, "Giants, Wizards, and Gnomes"! I'm learning more and more that Taylor and their students have a huge impact on Miracle Camp, whether it be games, chants, or simply traditions around campus. After our O-Group competitions and some relaxing, we ventured off to the the famous Hoedown Night at 6pm. After a few awkward minutes, the hoedown began and everyone just jumped right in! Seeing as no one knew what they were doing.. we all just did our best, having a blast as we did it :)

Samuel Morris Hall (aka Sammy) has many traditions, one which we took part in tonight. About 80+ guys took a walk to Circle K (more commonly referred to as Handy Andy) where we bought snacks and just had a great time making noise and laughing as we walked down the roads (pictured above)

There are yet some traditions that I won't post on here, but if you want to know more just ask me.. :)

Taylor University.

I made it! It's so hard to believe I am just 11 hours away from being a college student! Where did that come from? Throughout this year, I plan on posting weekly (or semi-weekly) updates on life here at Taylor . I realize that due to my "I'll do it later" nature, I may fall behind on these.. (most likely I will) but I will do my best! Feelings of nervousness, anxiety, sadness and happiness are filling my mind right now.. I don't really know how I want to feel at this moment. I am sure this year will be full of many memorable moments and I am looking forward each and every one of them. I am learning to just give God control of every situation, for He alone knows what is best for me! I'm looking forward to sharing my experiences with you all.

Through Faith, Hope, and Love,
