8 Bible Verses For The Stressed College Student
Kylee Rossiter

As we approach the end of the semester, as college students, we are feeling many different emotions.

The end of spring semester brings hours’ worth of studying, homework, papers, projects, exams, and for some graduation. This can be a lot for a college student and it can lead to unhealthy and unwanted stress and anxiety that hits us from all directions and at different times of the day and night.

This stress and anxiety can lead to poor coping mechanisms and bad habits which can be counterproductive to trying to end the semester strong and with positives outcomes.

The only way I have been able to tolerate and deal with the crazy stress that not only college but also life brings has been to turn to my faith. Putting my faith into God and trusting in His power and the plan he has for me has been my guiding light.

Reading His truth in Bible verses has helped put my mind at ease when stress and anxiety begins to creep back up. Here are eight of my favorite Bible verses that have calmed my anxiety and decreased my stress over the past few weeks as I prepare for exam week:

1. Peter 5:6-7

"Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, then he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."

2. Deuteronomy 31:6

"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."

3. Philippians 4:6

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to god."

4. Isaiah 41:10

"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

5. Matthew 11:28

"Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

6. Matthew 6:34

"Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

7. Psalm 94:19

"When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought my joy."

8. Proverbs 3:5-6

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him and he will make your paths straight."

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
