5 Bible Verses to Get You Through the Semester
List Challenges

1. Psalm 18

This is on of my favorite chapters in the Bible. I love the picture of God showing his love for His people through His righteous anger for those who have hurt them. I think it is a great picture of how He saved us from our sin. We were hopeless and sinful, but He reached down and saved us. This is a great reminder of His love when the semester is feeling hopeless

2. 2 Corinthians 12:9

I love this verse because I can relate to it so much in my life. We are so weak, but He is SO strong! We do not have to worry about being perfect or getting perfect grades because He is working in us. He can use what we accomplish through Him, but He loves us no matter what our GPA is.

3. Psalm 100:4

This verse reminds us to praise God and thank Him. "Enter His courts with GLADNESS." This is very hard to do and remember when things are not going our way. When I have a bad day the best thing for me to do is spend time with the Lord and worship Him. This helps me to get my priorities straight and realize that I am only here for Him.

4. Jeremiah 29:11

This verse is taken out of context many times in our society. While it was true for the people in the story that it is in, it is also true for us. God knows what is going to happen, and we do not have to worry about it. In college it seems that the future is continually looming over us, but with God we have a bright future in His Glorious Plan.

5. Matthew 28:16-20

This is ultimately why we are here. REMEMBER we are not here to get an education, a job, a house, a spouse, children, or anything else!!! We are here to glorify God and tell others about Him. This is so encouraging because when these things don't happen in life we still have hope! We are here to proclaim His Name boldly here at home and to the ends of the earth.


So do not get caught up in the day to day, but rather have an eternal mindset daily! And have a great semester!!

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
