Monday's Musings

Would you consider yourself to be a busy person? I know my friend Ben and I would. As college students we are constantly on the go with homework, studying for exams, friends, and other responsibilities. So how do you prioritize your time to fit everything in? Obviously Ben and I haven't figured it all out yet, but there are some specific things that have helped us including getting enough sleep, knowing when not to multitask, and utilizing the tools around us.

College is the perfect time to set up good time management habits that are relevant throughout life so tune in to find out some tips for time management!

Make sure you listen all the way to the end for a hilarious surprise!

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in another country surrounded by a different culture?

In this episode I am joined by my good friend, Andrew Finsaas. Andrew spent the majority of his life growing up as a missionary kid in Papa New Guinea. Listen in to hear some of Andrew's story regarding relying on God, culture shock associated with transitioning back to the States, and now attending a Christian university.

Later in the episode we discuss what we have learned about relying on God and practical ways to do this daily whether you are going through tough times or everything seems to be going your way.

Have you ever felt lonely? Surrounded by a sea of people, yet no one to hang out with? In this episode I am joined by my friend Seth as we discuss tips and tricks to build lasting friendships in college. We discuss everything from where to find friends, how to choose which friends to keep, and how to be a person that people want to be friends with.

Seth is a super friendly and caring guy. He strives to make sure everybody around him is happy and I admire him for that.

Have you ever struggled with an addiction? Maybe you’ve never tried drugs or alcohol or nicotine, but there is something just as addicting that you’re probably holding in your hands right now. That’s right, your cellphone. 

In this episode I am joined by my friend Will as we discuss the findings of a summer-long experiment about screen time. Have you ever consider going a few hours without your phone? How about a whole day? While there are many positive things that can come from smart phones, there are many negatives as well. Some of the topics covered in this episode include: apps we found we could go without, getting and keeping accountability, and setting realistic standards for screen time. Listen in to find out how fasting from screen time affected our mindset for the summer and our outlook on life.

Will Allen is a super talented filmmaker (among other things). I feel honored to be able to call him a friend.
