(This is part 8 in a 11 part series of things that Andy learned in college - sometimes the hard way - so hopefully you don't have to)
As we have discussed previously, sleep is a precious commodity during your college career. So, what will probably happen to you when you first start out in school, is you will miss church on the first sunday. Then the next week, you won't find one that will fit you. Then the next week, you miss the shuttle to the church you think you might like but aren't really sure.
Just like other times in life, we fool ourselves so often by saying "I'll follow God later" We think that somehow, once we become less busy (we won't) or have less problems (we won't) or settle down and have a family (you might, but that only gives you less time and more problems), then we will finally crack open the ol' bible and give God the time He deserves.
It won't ever happen by accident, just like your homework won't happen by accident, your car won't fix itself by accident, or your smelly clothes won't clean themselves by accident.
It's something you have to do on purpose, with intention. And there's no better time to start now! Because you will never be in a better place to start having a relationship with Jesus then where you are RIGHT NOW!
