Advice for College Students Part 4

This is a continuation of "Advice for College Students" written by Blake Hudson. Part one can be found here, two here, and three here
 
7. In my spiritual life, there are things I have left undone or poorly done on many occasions because I was looking for an opportunity to be a "radical" Christian. Prayer is one of the hardest things to do consistently, often because it can carry with it so many positive and negative emotions. Praying for the salvation of a loved one can invoke worry, fear, and regret for not sharing the Gospel with them more or not at all. Praising God for His blessing and praying for Christians that you know well and have trusted you with deep, personal secrets can bring immense joy as you get a front-row seat to see how God is shaping them into the image of Christ. I wish that I had prayed more consistently for others, for missions, and for myself, regardless of how I felt during college and graduate school.

8. Many of my problems begin with procrastination, worrying, and a simple lack of preparation for many school and performance-related projects. Don't procrastinate.

Finally, some advice specific to Tallahassee/FSU
1. Go to at least one FSU football game. The games are fun and a great cultural experience, even for those who don't like or play sports.
2. Investigate some of the local restaurants. Tallahassee is an eclectic place because of the variety of people who live there, so don't be afraid to try something new.
3. Go to at least one "First Friday."
4. Go hiking, mountain biking, or walking through the parks around Tallahassee.
