Woman's Conference '08

Every other year, The Dive, hosts "Woman's Conference." (They also have "Men's Conference" the same weekend, but I'm not invited to that!) About 50 girls travelled to Ashtabula to have an "exaggerated" Girl's Night! Most of us didn't know many of the other girls very well, so this was a great opportunity to build new friendships. The conference consisted of eating lots of food, playing crazy games, talking a lot, and making crafts. Most of The Dive staff women gave talks on "women struggles," such as: eating disorders, self-confidence, and relationships. The staff also conducted a Panal for us to ask tough questions. It was a great way to grow spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. I think it is so important to find close relationships with woman during college. I heard a quote during my freshmen year that has stuck..."Some look for a husband in college, others look for bridemaids." I have only known my friends in college for three or less years, and already I am closer to them than friends from high school, that I have known for majority of my life.
