College is a transformative, defining four year period for students. This is where you find your passions. Its where you make your strongest friendships. Its the place where you become more of the person you were meant to be. And while the positive benefits of the college experience are many, the road to achieving them is not so clearly paved. It can be racked with stress, exhaustion, and anxiety. And at the end of the day, it can be so easy to feel so overwhelmed. So small. And sometimes its so easy to ask ourselves, "What am I doing wrong?" We want help. Luckily for us, God's word has the answers. All of them. We just need to remember to look.

1. Philippians 4:13

"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."

The Lord will give you strength. Use it.

2. Psalm 107:6

"Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and e delivered them from their distress."

God will hold your hand through the tough moments.

3. 1 Peter 5:7

"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."

Give all your glory to God. But don't be afraid to give him your anxiety too.

4. Proverbs 16:3

"Entrust your efforts to the Lord, and your plans will succeed."

God will help you reach your goals.

5. Psalm 121:1

" I lift up my eyes to the mountains – where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth."

God will help you. You need only ask.

6. Philippians 4:6

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer, present your requests to God.

Pray. Over and over and over.

7. Romans 8:18

"Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later."

This too will pass.

8. Matthew 6:34

"Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow,for tomorrow will worry about itself.

Stay focused on what you can do to change today.

9. Psalms 61:2

"When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock that is higher than I."

Cling to the Lord for help.

10. Psalms 46:5

God is with her, she will not fall.

You will be successful. You need only God's help.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
