It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Finals!
It is beginning to look a lot like finals around the William Jessup campus. There is coffee brewing in just about every wing as late night study parties are held for all different classes. There is an enormous amount of excitement for the holidays, mixed with the stress of trying to wrap up the end of the fall semester.
Finals week is a great time to hang out with your friends in the commons or go to random coffee shops to enjoy a little time off campus. (It seems as though I am always running into someone who found the latest and greatess tasting coffee.) It is a bittersweet time as I conclude one of my last semesters here are Jessup, but also exciting to see what God has in store for the future.
Even though this week has been filled with the stress of studying, it has also been balanced with the celebration of friends and laughter. One of my favorite parts of finals week is “Midnight Breakfast” . This is an event where all of the resident directors bake lots of treats for all of the students to take a study break in the midst of studying for finals. This year midnight breakfast was on monday night and the resident directors baked monkey bread, eggs, sausage, breakfast burrito’s, and various types of panackes for all of the on-campus students to enjoy!
Let me tell you, after taking three finals in one day, I was beat and it was so nice to have some “homecooked” food and a chance to see how everyone else’s week was going. My friends and I decided to go a couple minutes early to be the first in line, but it was no good. The line had already started to wrap around the pool tables in the student union… I had never seen the line so long before! But eventually the food was delivered and laughter began to fill the room as we ate to our hearts delight.
Overall, the week has been an amazing time for growth; mentally and spiritually. Although it will be sad to say good bye to my friends for the month of December, I know we will all be much more energetic after a month of rest. (Praise the Lord) That is all I have for now. Thanks for reading, I hope you have a Christmas season that is filled with many blessing!
