In the book of Ecclesiastes, King Solomon looks at life from the human perspective and declares it all to be empty. Nothing can fill the God-shaped hole in man’s life than God Himself. But when seen from God’s perspective, life takes on meaning and purpose. He even said in Ecclesiastes 8:15, “So I recommend the enjoyment of life, for there is nothing better on earth for a person to do except to eat, drink, and enjoy life. So, joy will accompany him in his toil during the days of his life which God gives him on earth” (New English Translation).
College is very stressful, and most of the time it feels like we are toiling day and night without end. As Student Association Social Vice President, I want to work with the student body to do the best thing on earth for a person to do: have fun! I want to provide environments for students to relax and enjoy time with friends, eat good food and enjoy life. My goal will be to harness the talent of my executives, clubs and fellow students to plan attractive activities that are strategically designed to involve every student and make lasting memories. So let’s take the wisest king’s advice and have fun together this next school year!
