Do you ever think about what questions you would ask God if given the chance? Questions about your future, your present day, or how the world works? I asked 29 people, a mixture of guys and girls ranging in age from 17-23, if given the chance, what one question they would want to ask God. This is what they said.

1. "How did you create everything in the universe?"

Male, 22

2. "How are you so patient with us when we are slow to learn things sometimes?"

Female, 23

3. "Do we all see the same colors?"

Male, 17

4. "Why can't everyone focus on loving each other?"

Female, 20

5. "Why did you let my mom marry such a jerk?"

Male, 18

6. "Am I physically, relationally, and goal-wise where I'm supposed to be?"

Female, 19

7. "How do people age in Heaven?"

Male, 20

8. "Are fire ants really neccessary?"

Female, 21

9. "Why are some people 'predestined' and some aren't?"

Male, 22

10. "Why do some people claim to be Christians but then deliveratly sin knowing that judgement day is coming?"

Female, 19

11. "Why can life be difficult sometimes?"

Male, 18

12. "How do you choose the people who have to suffer in order to show your greatness to others?"

Female, 18

13. "Why do bad things happen to good people?"

Male, 20

14. "Am I living in your will and plans for my life right now, and if not, what should I do?"

Female, 19

15. "Everyone says french horn is 'God's instrument', but what is actually your instrument?"

Male, 22

16. "When will I meet my future husband?"

Female, 20

17. "Are there more humans out there?"

Male, 22

18. "Why do I have depression/anxiety and how can I stop having it?"

Female, 19

19. "What does Chick-fil-A use to make their chicken taste so heavenly?"

Male, 20

20. "What is heaven really like?"

Female, 20

21. "Why did you make insects that sting?"

Female, 18

22. "What is love?"

Female, 19

23. "Why do good things happen to people who do awful things?"

Female, 20

24. "Are there people on earth now who can actually see angels?"

Female, 20

25. "Can I have more than one question?"

Male, 22

26. "How can I do my part?"

Female, 18

27. "What will my future look like in five years?"

Female, 19

28. "Where did Jesus get His DNA from?"

Female, 20

29. "How much longer until you're coming back?"

Female, 22

As you can see, some people have a deep personal matter they want to get to the bottom of, while others are simply curious as to how the world works. I hope if you're reading this that you realize you are not alone in your questions, and someone out there is probably wondering the same thing. So ask away, because I know God would love to hear your questions (and he just might give you some answers).

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.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
