Life is hard. Even during the summer it's easy to get caught up in the news and the tragedies that occur across the country every day, and it's even easier to lose focus on who you are and who gave you life. For me, summer is a time to see my friends, but it's also a time to recharge from school and gain insight and wisdom into the coming school year. I know that a lot of other Christians may struggle with this, so below is a list of 10 bible verses that I picked out to help remind people who seem to be forgetting some important things.

1. 2 Corinthians 6:18

"And I will be your father, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty."

Because we all need a reminder about who we are.

2. Zephaniah 3:17

"For the Lord your God is living among you.
He is a mighty savior.
He will take delight in you with gladness.
With his love, he will calm all your fears.
He will rejoice over you with joyful songs."

Because love is all we need when we can’t motivate ourselves.

3. Psalm 62:5-8

"Let all that I am wait quietly before God,
for my hope is in him.
6 He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will not be shaken.
7 My victory and honor come from God alone.
He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.
8 O my people, trust in him at all times.
Pour out your heart to him,
for God is our refuge.
"

Because rest for our souls comes from the Lord.

4. Psalm 139:14

"Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
"

Because it’s nice to have a reminder who created us and how his works help us.

5. Ecclesiastes 7:21-22

"21 Don’t eavesdrop on others—you may hear your servant curse you.22 For you know how often you yourself have cursed others."

Because it’s easy to forget that what other people say doesn’t matter when you know who you are

6. Isaiah 61:1

"The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me,
for the Lord has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted
and to proclaim that captives will be released
and prisoners will be freed."

Because helping others is why we’re here.

7. Romans 12:12

"Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying."

Because knowing how to act helps with motivation.

8. 2 Corinthians 4:16

"That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day."

Because wasting away can mean renewal.

9. Galatians 5:1

"So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law."

Because freedom has never felt so good.

10. John 3:16

"For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life."

Because it’s always good to know that someone died so you could live.

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.
