1. There is a paid position of Soup TA. Basically, you spend Tuesday making soup for everyone on campus.
2. On the first day, during a "Living Well" session, the school counselor talked about coming to see her for addictions counseling, and talked specifically about pornography addiction. How often does that get talked about in Christian circles?
3. In 1974, the only reason Regent passed the university senate vote to become officially affiliated with UBC was because the Marxist Party, for reasons of freedom of speech, all voted for Regent.
4. The name Regent College was not chosen for some great metaphorical reason but simply as a cipher, as a way of giving the school a name that didn't have 'Bible' or 'Theological' in it. In other words, the name is meant to make people go "What's that?"
5. Here are two of Regent President Rod Wilson's more memorable quotes from his opening address to the orientation students: "If you can summarize your spiritual life in 30 seconds, then may I suggest to you that your spiritual life is shallow." and "Guilt -- the gift that keeps on giving." He also talked about messiness, brokenness, and the importance of both/ands.
And an additional sixth point: The professors here are so intelligent, and so genuinely welcoming, that they make me want to cry. I want to take all of their courses. Every single one.

Ben is hereby announcing his intention to apply for Soup TA
OF COURSE Lydia would be going to a school where there is a soup TA. It just makes sense.
I think I enjoy point #3 the most. Although the 30 second spiritual life quote is good too...
