5 Bible Verses For The Struggling College Student

College is a VERY stressful time. Between all the studying, the social events, and the sporting events, some students tend to fall from their faith and that can cause someone to get even more stressed out. Like crying every second of the day stressed out. (Just me? Okay.) However, here are 5 bible verses that will get you through some of the most stressful times.


1. 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."

Sometimes when everything becomes too much and you've stretched yourself too thin, it's hard to be able to be able to think about what to do next, or where to go, but don't worry. ". . .the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."

2. Philippians 4:6

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."

This one is pretty self-explanatory. Whenever life gets too hard, and college gets stressful, just let go and let God.

3. Romans 12:2

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Pressure to do the wrong thing also can leave you with a lot of stress. However, when you read this know that doing what is right may not be the easiest thing, but in the end, doing the right thing is the only thing that matters.

4. Psalm 55:22

"Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken."

We can't let the evils of the world get to us. WHATEVER you are worried about, give it to God. He already has a plan for you.

5.1 Peter 5:7

“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”

I just put this in here to reiterate the fact to just let go and let God. He has clearly said multiple times in scripture to give all of your worries to him.

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.
