On Campus: Waiting

On a Christian Campus My first semester of junior year is almost over. Thanksgiving has come and gone; Advent and Christmas are coming soon. By the time this part of the semester comes and finals arrive, I long for Christmas to be here. My roommates and I decorate our rooms in anticipation and play Christmas music every day.

I can hardly wait to leave behind my dorm...
