My Girls

My cottage consists of ten lovely girls, half of us from places near Riverside, and some as far as Texas and Oklahoma. All of us are in different majors:  nursing, music, political science, art and design, theatre and journalism. We have instrumentalist, actors, singers, cheerleaders; the girls with a big family to an only child. When someone walks into my room in the cottage they will see one side of the room the basic white and black colors, and the other a variety of vibrant colors of every shade. All of our styles are different ranging from the t-shirt and jeans look to cute sundresses. Not one of us in my cottage is alike, but that does not stop us from having the time of our lives together.
It was about one o’clock in the morning, a school night of Wednesday evening. All of us decided to stay up late and work on homework, but instead it ended up with all of us making tea together, laughing, talking, and eventually making a midnight breakfast. We got out our pots and pans, eggs, bread, butter, and all that is included in making the product of breakfast, and started cooking at one in the morning. We all had class the next morning, but my cottage has become a family. A family of different races, backgrounds, majors, styles, lifestyles, and desires in life. Although we may all be diverse in so many ways, we are united because God is our anchor, and California Baptist has brought us together to love and support one another for the rest of the year, and hopefully the rest of our college careers.
