5 Scriptures College Students Can Apply To Any Dilemma

It's finally here! The closing weeks of fall semester. Cram in the papers, the tests and of course the assignments that were due months ago. Don't worry though, while you're trying to finish the semester strong, raise that GPA, and make sure your social, academic and spiritual life doesn't fall short, I got your back.

So, here are a few scriptures to remember during those chaotic moments.

1. Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." NIV

So next time you're crying about being a fifth year senior and yet you have no idea where life is going, don't worry because with Jesus on your side, it's going to be good!

2. Ephesians 3:20

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us." NIV


He knows we struggle. Whether you need five cents, five dollars, or five thousand dollars, a hot meal or just the strength to get through, He's got it for you. Never be afraid to press forward and ask for "above and beyond," but never forget to first be thankful for what you already have! That's just as important as what you're in need of.

3. Luke 22:32

"But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail." NIV

When you feel really down in the dumps, just remember Jesus is literally rooting for you and cheering you on 24/7. CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP.

4. Joshua 1:9

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." NIV

Well, even if you don't wanna go to school, class, work, or vocal juries (AM I RIGHT?!) IT'S OK because Jesus is right there with you!

5. John 3:16

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." KJV

If none of these scriptures do it for you, just remember that God loves you so much. Through your mental breakdowns, your empty pockets and empty bank account, your "irrational" emotions and emotional episodes, HE LOVES YOU. FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER!

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.
