Let's be honest: The world is a tough place and sometimes we fall through the cracks, get scraped up a bit, and need someone or something to pick us back up. Let's be honest: College is tough and sometimes we lack motivation and inspiration and sometimes we feel like the world is going to end and sometimes music is the only thing that pulls us through. Whether or not you are Christian, Catholic, Jewish, Agnostic, Atheist, have no idea, etc., these are some of my favorite songs by Christian artists and I encourage you to give at least one of these songs a listen. Whether you are into more traditional Christian music or you like music with a lot of electric guitar and songs, these songs are very uplifting and diverse and they might inspire you as much as they inspire me.
