FS Drinks’ Post

My college was compulsorily residential, which meant that all students had to stay in the hostels inside the college campus. There was this stationery shop inside the hostel, which was named ‘Kim Prayojanam’ – which, in Sanskrit, loosely means ‘What do you need?’ This shop stocked only the bare necessities that students required to stay in the hostels – notebooks, pens, soap, shampoo, hair oil, toothpaste, etc. In addition to these, it also contained a few sweets and snacks, which were of special attraction to us. Whatever little pennies we could save from our pocket monies, we used to spend in enjoying those sweets and confectionery. It was a change, a relief from the same daily food the hostel provided. This ‘kim prayojanam’ shop instilled in us the fact, that to live a good life, you don’t need a lot many things. Those few limited items were more than enough to provide us with whatever we required to lead a student life. And that was a great piece of learning we received. We didn’t realise it then, and we used to complain why there were only those few items available. But later on, when we had to actually face life, we knew how to remain satisfied with very limited resources. There was this ability within us that allowed us to stay content with whatever we had.

Here are a few more to ask yourselves at least, if not the college: 1. Is there an active Orthodox Christian Fellowship (OCF)? If not, what's the process to start one? 2. How close is the nearest Orthodox Church or monastery? What transportation options are there to get there if you don't have a car? 3. What kind of vegan options does the dining hall have (for fasting periods)? https://lnkd.in/gCG8NuYR

“Did a bad guy break the ice cream machine? There are phrases you never thought you’d hear until you hear them from a 4 year old. Your mind does this weird word jumble trying to comprehend what they’re trying to say. The ice cream machine at one of our fav BBQ restaurants was broken with a note that said “sorry.” There’s nothing like free ice cream after brisket. “Daddy, what’s that sign say?” “It says ‘Sorry, no ice cream.’” She ponders a long thought, squints her eyebrows together and says: “A bad guy broke it, didn’t he.” I bent down to her level, and said: “No, sweetheart. A bad guy didn’t break it. I think it’s just tired for working so hard.” She liked this answer. Smiled, and went back to eating her dinner. It’s easy for us to jump to the worse possible solution when something breaks. I hear others talk about our education system and that it’s broken. But they rarely offer a solution. It’s just noise. Instead? Offer an idea A solution. It might just work And recognize there are many things out of our control when it comes to our kids’ education The good news? There are many things IN our control. Things that allow you to save time and thousands on future college costs. Once you understand that You can have that ice cream once the machine wakes up. #concurrentenrollment #dualenrollment #collegeinhighschool #collegedebt P. S.
