Why, it's me!

Essentially, I am Chelsea. I'm a squirrelly, short little chick with a smile that takes up her entire face and hopefully makes other people feel better. I'm a HUGE nerd who spends her time playing Wii and searching for classic Nintendo memorabilia, and I'm definitely not ashamed of it, since most people find it funny. However, being with friends and loved ones has to be my favorite pastime. I LOVE people, although I can be quite shy if I can't think of anything to say. I have a habit of blurting things out that are either completely random or unusually profound, and never at the right times. It's a good life!
I chose to go to APU because I felt that my journey with God would benefit from such an unusual environment. I've never had classes that were taught from a Christian perspective, and I figured that it would help me understand certain aspects of my own faith. Also, the fact that there's a chapel every other day is appealing because my family doesn't exactly have time to go to church as much as I'd like....here, I am given the opportunity to worship as much as I want in a community setting. Moreover, when I visited the campus, the people were wonderful and easy to talk to. For the most part, everyone is willing to go that extra mile to make friends. I love that!
As of right now, I don't have any specific dreams. All I know is that, when I die, I want people to remember the things I did for the world. Actually, I don't even care if they remember that it was me who did these great things, as long as I make a difference. Living this life is hard and I just want to make it significantly easier for those who have it the worst. I would like to go to different countries, meet everyone I can, shine the light of God, and see how he works in the lives of those around me. Right now, all these dreams seem pretty lofty, but I'm sure it'll work out, God willing.
In terms of religion, I am an non-denominational Christian. I love my church (Life Bible Fellowship) and have attended the youth group and the main services for four years. I sang on the Worship Team for the youth group and basically helped around the church wherever I could. I have friends from various denominations and enjoy learning about them and occasionally attending their services.

dear Chelsea, We have several similar attributes. I'm big on people, we are both apparently big on music, although not while I'm eating food (lol), we both came to APU to strengthen are faith. That is cool. :)
