Why can't magic 8 balls work?

So, I'm not sure this blog will even be read anymore, but even if it isn't...at least I can write whatever!
Covenant has been great so far. As a senior, I'm trying to enjoy all of the extracurricular activities while I'm still a college student. So far, I've been able to 1. have a hall get-together/omelet making party with my hall's brother hall, Sutherland.
2. Go to a Sady Hawkins costume dance with a friend. The theme was 'Kiddo Kilter' and we went as a barrel o' monkeys (see fb pics)
3. Go to my first drive in movie with the 5 points (a guy hall two floors below us)and my hall
4. Go to Chicago with a great group of people for a Christian Community Development Association conference.

Academically: I'm enjoying my classes and love all of my professors. I have also started my SIP process (Senior Integration Paper).

so to explain the title of this blog: as a senior I have been pondering what to do with my life. Do I want to pursue a graduate degree? Can I even get into a graduate program? What do I want to do with my life? What do I actually like doing? I began to think of how easy life would be if I could just shake a magic 8 ball and let it tell me which direction to go. I've NEVER liked making up my mind. Ask anybody who really knows me and they'll confirm that. However, I suppose that if a magic 8 ball did control my life decisions life would be pretty boring and restricting. I really need to take Jesus' instructions of "Do not worry" in mind. I guess I just need to be faithful in following whatever He has planned for me.
