Between extracurriculars, keeping up with your studies, and trying to maintain a social life, college can easily become overwhelming. Sometimes you feel like you can't catch a break and it's so easy to turn to alternative methods to release stress. During times of adversity and anxiety, I thoroughly believe that these verses below can provide comfort and save a whole lot of anxiety as they put you into a more peaceful mindset.

1. 1 Peter 5:6-7

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

2. 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."

3. 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."

4. Jeremiah 29:11

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

5. Habakkuk 1:5 

"Look at the nations and watch—and be utterly amazed.For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told."

6. Isaiah 41:10

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

7. Joshua 1:9

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

8. Psalm 37:5

"Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this:"

9. Ecclesiastes 3:1

"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens"

10. Philippians 4:13

"I can do all this through him who gives me strength."

11. Psalm 56:3-4

When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise—in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?

12. John 14:27

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

I know that life can get crazy and confusing, but never forget how widely and intensely the Lord loves you, cares for you, and has greater plans for you than you could ever imagine.

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.

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.
