12 Bible Verses To Live By
Hanging Out and Hanging In

Life is known for being a rollercoaster of emotions and events. Sometimes, we are on the top of the world and feel like nothing could bring us down. Other times, we wonder how can it possibly get any worse. Even though life is full of surprises, here are some bible verses to get us through the rough times.

This is my own personal verse: the one I go to when life gives me a lot of difficult problems. We all go through difficult times, but we always need to remind ourselves that we are not alone in our situations.

1. Joshua 1:9

In life, we can become afraid of the unknown. But in these times, we need to remember that our God is bigger than our problems and fears.

2. Deuteronomy 7:21

Worrying does nothing but steal our happiness and joy. By worrying, we cannot change the outcome. Therefore, instead of worrying, we should pray; praying reminds us that God is in control at all times. No matter what happens, God's got it under control.

3. Philippians 4:6

For the same reason, we cannot worry about what tomorrow brings but rather focus on the issues at hand. Take each day at a time and trust God with His plan.

4. Matthew 6:34

God makes ALL things work for the good of people who have been called. During the good times, it is easy to see how God makes things work for our benefit. The difficult times is when it can be impossible to understand how it is going to help us later on. However, it will. Maybe not at that moment, but in the future, God may have something better planned.

5. Romans 8:28

God is with us always and no matter what we do, God will always love us. No matter where we go, God is with us. We could be the worst sinner in the world, but He still loves us.

6. Romans 8:38-39

The world tells us to be something other than what we are called to be. We live in a world plagued with sin and temptations. It can be so easy to fall into these temptations. But God warns us against this and to follow His plan. This is never easy, but it will lead to great reward in heaven.

7. Romans 12:2

In difficult times, we should turn to God. Sometimes we do not understand why things happen, but we should rely on God. Be calmed by His presence and trust Him.

8. Psalm 62:1-2

God's strength is infinite. He can get us through any difficult situation and by relying on his strength, we too can be strong.

9. Isaiah 40:31

Our current circumstances may not be good, but there is going to be something better. When we have hit rock bottom, the only way is up.

10. Romans 8:18

Nothing is impossible with God. Our God is an all-powerful God who can do anything.

11. Philippians 4:13

God's plan may not make sense in the moment, but He is not here to punish us. He loves us and knows what is best for us.

12. Jeremiah 29:11

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
