In some places, college football is considered just a sport or a fun pastime. In other places, college football is a religion — the teams are followed to a tee and many prayers are said during those few hours of play. During the fall months, weekends are full of two things — football on Saturdays and the Lord on Sundays. In some cases, maybe the game is so stressful and you just cannot wait until Sunday for worship. Don't worry, the Bible will always have your back.

1. "With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies." [Psalms 108:13]

When you're feeling hopeful at the start of the game.

2. "The lot is cast unto the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord." [Proverbs 16:33]

When the score is all down to the last play in overtime.

3. "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." [Deuteronomy 31:6]

When you just need to have Faith that the game will work out how it's supposed to.

4. "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." [2 Timothy 4:7]

When you lose, but you know that it was a good game.

5. "I can do all this through him who gives me strength." [Philippians 4:13]

When you just know that your team can do this.

6. "I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all." [Ecclesiastes 9:11]

When a bad call has been made and you need to say cool, calm, and collected.

7. "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." [Hebrews 12:1-2]

When you need to believe in your team's abilities, no matter who they are up against.

8. "For we live by faith, not by sight." [2 Corinthians 5:7]

When you are losing and trying not to feel hopeless.

9. "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." [Deuteronomy 31:6]

When you're nervous for the upcoming game against a very skilled team.

10. "He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." [Micah 6:8]

When you're an astounding team, but need to stay grateful and humble.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
