Nicholls Baptist College Ministry

So, this post is going to be fairly personal y’all. This past week has been rough, like sandpaper to me. But the most common use for sandpaper is to smooth down a surface, which is how I choose to look at this past week. 

As someone who’s struggling, we have to try our hardest to look beyond what is going on in that exact moment and try to see the possible ways the situation can shape us into better people. 

I chose to go to the BCM for lunch because I knew they had free lunch on Wednesdays. The experience I had while there is unmatched. I felt so welcomed, which I really needed. 

The BCM is the Baptist Church Ministry on campus and they always welcome all students. Every Wednesday they serve lunch to students, bless the food, and they usually have a guest speaker.

This specific Wednesday, they had a speaker who I felt was talking directly to me. As he was giving his talk he asked, “How do we make it through the day?” I sat back and thought about it for a moment. I realized that spreading positvity is really how I make it through the day.

I get such a genuine feeling of happiness when I’m able to make others happy. Being able to see how my happiness is created through making others happy made me even happier. I’m thankful I chose to go to the BCM on Wednesday because it made me realize being a positive person and being nice to others is truly what gets me through each day!

Me, Myself and I

Hello and welcome back ❤

This week my post is dedicated to my personal struggle with finding positivity as a college student. Being a student is stressful enough, but when you start adding on to that with things like organization involvement and jobs, life can get a little rough. So I wanted to talk to y’all about how I found positivity though the struggle and how it helped me bloom into who I am now.

As you may know from my welcome post, I have always had a pretty positive mindset. There were a few stages in my life where my positivity levels were not as high as they could have been, but those stages were all learning lessons and have all lead to tremendous blessings.

So, when I began at Nicholls in the fall of 2017, I planned on being a nursing major. I was not happy in my major and had so much trouble trying to find motivation. In the spring of 2018, I took MACO 101 and it changed my life! I realized that Mass Communications was the department that made me feel excited to do my work and gave me a reason to be in school. Dr. Linda Martin was the professor for the class that changed my college experience for the absolute best.

I joined plenty of organizations within my major and surrounded myself with super supportive people and I have really blossomed ever since.

I try to be as positive as I can. Even the smallest things can make a huge difference in someones life. I try to give out compliments as often as possible and do things that can help others!

Hugs, Smiles :), and Positivity
