Dealing with Independence

College is a period of life where most students experience a level of freedom and independence greater than previously granted. A degree of freedom is necessary as you are preparing for the responsibility of adulthood.
 
This new found freedom should be used wisely.
 
It should not be used to skip out on class on a regular basis, not do homework, engage in sexual exploration or neglect church attendance.  These abuses have huge repercussions.
 
Rather, this liberty could be used to get involved with student organizations, explore new hobbies, pursue internships, make good friends, and other activities that will benefit your future.
 
On a positive note, students might use this new liberty to stay up late on occasion chatting and bonding with friends or for other similar activities. Just don’t use this newly gained freedom as a license for immoral or irresponsible behavior.  While these immoral activities may seem fun for a moment, they are often regretted later in life.

1 Corinthians 15:33
......bad company corrupts good character

 Galatians 6:7
Don't be misled-you cannot mock the justice of God.  You will always harvest what you plant.

 Psalm 1:1-6
(*1 - Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers......3 - They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season.  Their leaves never wither, and they propser in all they do.)
