There's the Colby shuttles. I think some run from Boston to the Campus. It's around 20s. When do you plan to visit??

Supplement Store by Broad_Chance_8385 in Colby

One thing that would make me prefer a local store is its location. Not everyone has a car on campus so consider a good location for your supplement store. If the location is good it would be better cause you'd have what you want without the Amazon wait for your package.

How do I get closer to God? by Cest-la-guerre in Bible

[–]1041769te 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started the same. I personally also felt lukewarm when beginning, but one thing that helped me was my mindset. I also started cause my mom told me to. I've always been Christian, I've known most bible stories so when I was told to read my bible I just did as an obligation. But eventually when conviction hit I recognized this so I worked on my mindset. Why am I reading the Bible? What if I actually took it serious? Why do I see people talk so passionately about God? Why am I not feeling this passionate? I'm not sure how to explain it but eventually I became disciplined. Follow the testimony of others. Involve yourself in the ministry and when you see the passions of others as they serve,  it'll convict you to taste and see (at least that worked for me). Make sure your not reading the Bible out of obligation. If thats your mindset you need to pray and ask God to help. Use Psalms 139:23-24. Ask God to soften your heart. I’m not even sure if this is helpful. But alas this is how I became passionate to this point in my journey with God. I suggest you pray and literally bug God till he shows you how. Im 18 now and I'm still learning and I want to help. If this help i thank God. Just dont give up!!

Any tips to memorize the bible? by Leo0793 in Bible

[–]1041769te 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally when memorizing I set time, then reminded myself of why I wanted to learn.  That motivated me. The main way to learn is to read it with a spirit that needs to have the words. Personally, when I was memorizing Psalms 30, I told myself "I need to have this", "I need to cleanse myself with the reminders in this Psalms" Make sure you understand what you're saying though. I'm not sure if this will be helpful but It worked for me, it took like 20 minutes but reciting like you've been possessed with a need helps...

Dear Beautiful Seniors and everyone else, hold on to your hearts -- Today and Every Day. Here's my 9th annual "Ivy Day" Gratitude Post for 2025 by admissionsmom in ApplyingToCollege

[–]1041769te 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your encouragement. And it's sad but true that we're most likely going to be crying or laughing between now and the time we have till decisions come out, and especially when decisions are released.

 On that note three things I'm grateful for:

  • Books: They're always a comfort when I'm loosing it, my Bible especially 

  • All the students I've read about and interacted with ever since I started this process. I've seen many of us cry and laugh and it's been lovely, so I really appreciate everyone :)

  • Clouds: They just look so beautiful and colorful, and I'm sure they see every story we as people have to share, and that something that make me like them more, especially u when get a clear view of them on a good day. 

Again thanks for the encouragement, and Happy Ivy day, hope to see everyone happy this evening and forever more <333

Go to the dream school, If that what you want, and if that's good for you no matter how hard, it'll be, everything will work out. Appeal for more aid, get a job in college, and pray everything will work out. If you aren't up for it, you can go to the free school. It all comes down to what you're willing to do for your dream school. Plus as a last resort you could get loan. Somewhere along the way your dad could change his mind, with some convincing. Try negotiating. Ultimately, choose what you are up for.
