5 Bible Verses Every College Student Should Hear
Christ For All Nations

We all have those days, when nothing seems to be going right or we're trying our best and it's still not enough. Life is and can be tough sometimes, and it's only human to want to be the best we can be. So we put on our brave faces and try to face our challenges on our own; trying to overcome them. We try to play God in our lives. That is when Jesus comes into the picture.


1. In Matthew chapter 11, verse 28, it says this, "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (ESV). I don't know about you, but that verse gives me hope. We don't have to go through life, pretending to be God and do things on our own! Let God be God, and you just do what you are able to do. I have gotten so caught up in trying to do things on my own, that I forget that Jesus wants me to give Him my burdens.

2. He tells us in Philippians chapter 4, verse 6, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God" (NIV). God doesn't want us to worry about our lives, because He has it handled! We only need to pray to Him about what we're worried about and He will take care of the rest.

3. Jesus says in Matthew chapter 6, verse 34, "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own" (NIV). Every day, there is always something new to worry about, but we need to leave all of our worries to God. Worrying will not help anything, nor will it hinder whatever you're worried about. Let go and let God.

4. Peter says in 1 Peter chapter 5, verse 7, "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you" (NIV). Why should we worry when our great God, our great and loving God cares for you and for me? He knows our struggles and He wants to help us through, if we just give Him what's hindering us.

5. In Romans chapter 8, verse 38, the apostle Paul said this, "And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love" (NLT). No matter what we have done, what we do or what we will do, nothing will make God stop loving us. So even if you think you have sinned and messed up big time and you think God could never love you after what you've done, God will always forgive you and love you.


God loves you, no matter what. Even if you've had a rough day, go to God with your problems and worries and He will take them and turn them into blessings.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
