College contains stress, uncertainty and fears. Sometimes, we don't really know where to turn or how to handle it. Many of the answers that we are looking for are found in scripture. All we have to do is look, and we're sure to find something inspiring and great.

1. "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." -Deuteronomy 31:6

The phrase "do not be afraid" is used the most in the Bible, there is a good reason. We should find comfort and hope in the Lord.

2. "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to Him." - Psalm 28: 7-8

Many times we forget to remember the little things and thank God. Sometimes, that's all it takes to put our problems in perspective.

3. "The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge." - Psalm 18:2

We just need a reminder sometimes that we always have a strong foundation.

4. "Rise up; this matter is in your hands. Take courage and do it." -Ezra 10:4

Our life is our control. We can have courage if we put our faith in God.

5. "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." -Proverbs 16:3

Put our plans in the Lord's hands, and no matter what, it will all turn out okay.

6. "The Lord is my light and my salvation-whom shall I fear?" - Psalm 27:1

Anything is possible if we trust in Him.

7. "Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day." - 2Corinthians 4:16

There are many influences around us that make us doubt ourselves. All that matters is what's on the inside; that's all God sees.

8. "Truly, truly I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life." -John 6:47

There is something so much more than our worries on this world.

9. "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love Him." - Romans 8:28

We have to trust in God's plan. Everything will work out in the end.

10. "If God is for us, who can be against us?" - Romans 8:31

All we need is to turn to God's love.

11. "Always let Him lead you, and he will clear the road for you to follow."- Proverbs 3:5-6

God protects us from evil, He will make our path straight.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
