10 Bible Verses For Tough Times
Just Flow

As a college student, I go through many stressful things where sometimes I honestly just feel like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders. Whether it's going through a very tough breakup, losing a friend, having a rumor start about you, getting a bad grade in a test/class, or just feeling like you don't even have time to breathe and you're constantly stressed out, or honestly all of the above, I know I personally can always rely on my faith to help me breathe again. Here are 10 bible verses that help me through my toughest times.

1. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me". Philippians 4:13

2. "God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all". - 1 John 1:5

3. "If God is for us, who can be against us"? - Romans 8:31

4. "My flesh may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart, He is mine forever". - Psalm 73:26

5. "I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears". -Psalm 34:4

6. "And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow--not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love". - Romans 8:38

7. "Don't let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good". - Romans 12:21

8. "This is my command--be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go". - Joshua 1:9

9. "We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed". -Corinthians 4:8-9

10. "For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future". -Jeremiah 29:11

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
