Are You The One, Northwestern?


Today my mother and I drove to Roseville, Minnesota. The roads were horrible, but we drove 45 mph so we did not even have a chance of dying. Our motive for this excursion was to visit Northwestern College. I have been to Northwestern many times before. When I was little I was taught piano lessons in the Art/Music Building.

We met with a counselor who told me all about the place. He talked to us for about a hour than a senior attending the college took us on a tour. I have fallen in love. Everyone was so friendly. The buildings are all old Catholic buildings which makes them beautiful. The place is just so artistic! The dorms are amazing as well!

So I have fallen in love, but it does not seem right. Everyone was so friendly, which was nice, but for some reason that turned me off a little. I do not know if I will fit in there. Someone once told me that I was a Northwestern girl. If that is true, shouldn't I fit in? Why do I feel out of place though? I do not feel good enough for these people. I'm not this Bible thumping girl. I have so much room to grow in my faith. I am only beginning.

Honestly, I love this college and I probably will end up going there, Lord willing. I am intimidated though. Everyone seems that they have their lives under control. I am probably just nervous for college. I know that everyone does not have their lives under control. I know that if God wants me to go to this college, He will help me be at home there.

I got the jitters,
Em
