Religion Excuses Every Life Decision
After careful thought and prayer, sophomore bioenvironmental science major Carolyn Smithers realized God’s will was for her to end her relationship with her long-term boyfriend Jeremy Lang.
“Apparently God told her we should breakup, but He didn’t say why,” said Lang when asked about the reason for their breakup.
This sudden turn of events came soon after Smithers attended a weekend retreat at a friend’s church. While on retreat, Smithers met many people, including junior accounting major Jacob Price. In the past two weeks, Price and Smithers have gotten to know each other and cultivated a friendship.
In an interview with The Mugdown, Price shared his views on his budding relationship with Smithers. “I really want to do things right with Carolyn,” Price said. “I think I am going to ask her to go on a coffee date, but I want to pray more about it and talk with my mentor.”
During the interview, Price and his friends shared their struggles discerning God’s will for their relationships. Many of them expressed their frustration with praying about whether the dates are the right step since they don’t yet know if they get along with the girls in question. “I just wish there was a way I could sit down and get to know Carolyn better [to see if we should pursue a relationship],” Price said.
At time of publishing, no further action has been taken as Price awaits a more explicit sign from God.

This writer can be a real witch sometimes. No, really — she’s a card-carrying Wiccan who can’t wait to remind you that Christmas was originally a pagan holiday. Once a timid freshman evangelical, Dixie Wiccan found her new faith in (where else?) the women’s bathroom of the Dixie Chicken, proving once again that hitting up Northgate is akin to a spiritual experience.
