Even just the people you meet on campus are super open and helpful, willing to walk with you through life. RA’s and fellow students will often lead little Bible studies. In addition, besides organized events, there are many ways to continue to grow and be encouraged. These are a great refueling time before kicking off another week. There’s also a men’s ministry and women’s ministry (called “Refuge”) that meet on Sunday evenings.

This is a meeting on Friday at noon where a church serves you a free lunch, and you are guided in discussions that will grow you spiritually. There are various organized events that they have. But you can gain valuable encouragement and relationships through spiritual life on OBU’s campus. So whether in or out of class, pick up a hobby or two that are new to you and that you’ll love!Īs I mentioned before, a transition like this can be tough. I’ve picked up frisbee golf, long distance running, and have had time to work on my guitar skills. Finally, you can find more hobbies outside of classes. There are other artistic classes such as ceramics, photography, and drawing. Or you can find many musicians on campus who would be glad to play with you or even teach you. For example, you can grow in your musical abilities through piano classes, choirs, etc.

For real though, there are classes that can help you learn new things that you wouldn’t normally think of as “schoolish” things.Įlectives are excellent opportunities to explore new areas of study. I don’t mean this in a blunt way or to mean you can’t do your previous activity at all, but I just want to point out how college is a great time to learn something new. Social clubs, campus activities clubs, local ministry groups, the chess and cheese club… seriously, there’s something for everybody! Your passions can be used for many things outside of sports, so find a fit for you! Fill that time through the organizations on campus. Not having a sport opens up more free time than you may be used to or even want. But I will say again that there are so many options to choose from here as well. You can get more details by looking at those other posts. I’ve talked about some of these in my other blogs, so I’ll keep this brief. So grab some friends, put a team together, and have fun competing and trying new sports. Well, now I have the freedom to play any sport I want! Again, there are so many options when it comes to intramurals and club sports. While I played tennis competitively, I wasn’t really allowed to play other sports often because of the risk of injury. And trust me, it gets competitive out there sometimes… in a crazy fun way.Īlso, this gives you the chance to try something new. You’re bound to still be able to compete in this way. Chances are, you could probably dominate at intramurals or club sports. Nevertheless, you still have a passion for that sport. First of all, maybe you weren’t quite at the college playing level of your sport. But for real, there are a couple of reasons I put this. Okay, this may seem obvious for those of you who were in sports. Here are some ways I’ve found that could help you with making the transition and help you find other areas to use your passions and talents. While I no longer had competitive tennis in my life, I did not choose the wrong school. If you can, awesome! But if not, don’t lose hope.

There are various reasons you may not be able to continue those things in college. You may have a sport or activity you are or were very involved with in high school. I know many others struggle with the same thing. Thankfully, that is not what actually defines us. What do you do with your life when you no longer have something you dedicated 10 years of your life to? Sometimes it even feels like we lose our identity because that activity seemed to be how we defined ourselves. I played here for a year, but unfortunately things didn’t work out and I had to stop. My senior year, after visiting various schools, I received a few offers and ended up selecting OBU. From that time all the way through high school, I dreamed of playing tennis in college. I had played tennis competitively from the age of 10. I know too well what being in this situation is like. That may sound depressing, but really it’s not! Keep reading and I’ll tell you why.

Rather, this is a post about how to transition from leaving some of the sports/activities you participated in during your high school to being in college without those. Neither is this a post about an ex-girlfriend (The girl in the photo is my best friend and was my doubles teammate). Despite the title of this blog, I am not writing about Justin Bieber.
