"It's got sequins but they're square sequins so it's not, like, trashy."
After three years of Monday night meetings, my church girls are done. They graduate from high school in two weeks and beyond that, they will go on to do wonderful, beautiful things for this world. I want to wish them luck and love and delicious college food. And to tell them that they should document it heavily. Because I won't be there to write down their quotable quotes, but I really want to hear about them when we reconvene for the holidays.
I've compiled a little checklist for success in college because I know how they love lists:
- Do your work
- Live with people who have different majors, or people who change their minds all the time
- See the art/theater/music shows
- Study abroad and eat peanut butter for homesickness
- Moderate your intake of homesickness peanut butter
- Take classes in a subject you love
- Call home as a surprise to thank your parents for helping you get this far, no matter who foots the tuition bill
- Play intramural sports
- Go to church or somewhere on campus that makes your heart feel full of God

1. I will investigate the intramural sport opportunities in downtown Chicago. Perhaps speed sidewalk people dodging or building counting.
2. I promise to document as many stupidities as my tired hands will allow (from the class I am taking on a subject which I love).
3. I promise to travel to beautiful places such as: home, Lake Michigan, Ireland, not L.A., the Czech Republic, and the moon because peanut butter and email can be brought to all of these places.
4. Do you see that? That tear resting on my cheek?
I loved when my visitors brought me peanut butter!!
Know that i will always hold you with me wherever i should go next.
