As most of you probably already know, I attend Regent University in VA Beach, VA. I love love love it! The thing that you may not know is that I live in CA and take online classes. It has always been in my mind and on my heart that I would move to VA and attend on-campus classes. My plans to move last year were switched almost last minute...needless to say, I was heartbroken, but I knew it was the right decision. So this year, my sister, mom, and I decided to make the trip to Regent for their Preview Weekend. My sister is interested in attending Regent so the trip would be beneficial for the both of us. I really wanted to visit the student housing and visit with friends whom I had gotten to know over Facebook. And it was amaaaaaazzzzzing! :) We arrived on Thursday (A big thank you to my friend Isaac for picking us up!) and it was so amazing seeing the campus for the first time in 3 years! On Friday, we were able to attend programs that the university had set-up for prospective students (even though I already attend Regent ;) It was great getting to sit in on a Journalism class and being able to see how the on-campus classes operate! (And I shout out to my friend Josh Shook whom I met during the day). I met with the Dean of the Communications department and a professor who teaches some of the COMM classes. It was a great experience. Then, later on at the dinner we attended, the Dean's wife told me that I had a great face for television :) Woot woot! The next day, I explored the campus, which was amazing! I just fell in love! I wanted to cry, it is so beautiful! And I got to hang out with some more friends during the evening at the dorms and I got a feel for what it is like to live and breathe the Regent air :) And the next day, my mom and I explored the campus again. I just keep falling in love! I feel right at home and I'm so glad for that because I wanted to feel a deep connection with my school and my fellow students. I am super excited to join them full-time in August when I move. It'll be a big transition in my life, but I know that God is calling me to VA and to Regent. I can't wait! :)
Blessings!
