perhaps a grain of truth?

A Sunday School teacher asked the children just before she dismissed them to go to church, 'And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?"

Annie replied, 'Because people are sleeping'.

Now children, we musn't forget one very important thought while we're at uni - that is, the actual reason we're at uni. With all the potential the Student Life community offers for people to gallavant about the countryside at all hours of the morning socialising, we need to realise that there is more to life than what we can see right at this moment.

What if God was calling one of us to be the world's greatest physicist? Something tells me that short of a prodigy breaking into our midst, a person who is socialising 6 nights out of 7 (and going to church on the 7th night) is not being responsible to God's call on their life. Student Life does not want to pull students away from their studies.

Student Life however, recognises that many uni students do have oodles of spare time that they don't know what to do with. Combine this with the fact that many uni students are also extremely lonely and we see that something needs to be done. Our conclusion has been to keep creating social opportunities for people to get out of their homes, refresh their minds and hopefully deepen some friendships. But don't socialise excessively and definitely not to the detriment of your studies.

Welcome, Gerbils

Hello everyone, and welcome to the inevitable migration of Student Life to blog form. Such is the viral capacity of blogs that they have taken over much of what is technically my life.

On this blog, however, comments will be disabled and contributions will be made only through me - Luke Harris. My promise to you is that it will usually be updated more than once a week to give you thoughts to ponder and events going on in the Student Life social calendar. This year is shaping up to be huge for Student Life at QUT, so socials is gonna be huge to match. Any contributions you would like to make (Events, advertisements for prayer triplets, invitations to drop in at your house if bored on a certain night) simply need to be sms'ed to me on 0401 066 817 and I'll add 'em in.

C'mon Student Lifers, get socially active - community is something which is sorely lacking in today's society, let's be the ones to bring it back with a God-focussed vengeance.
