Most of us all struggle with anxiety sometimes. I know for me personally it was hard for me to face it, but I knew that the only way to get better was to face it head on. I consistently worry about money or my grades, so here are a few bible verses that have helped me

1. Philippians 4:6

"Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all He has done."

2. Philippians 4:7

"Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus."

This verse is a continual of #1. Once you stopped worrying and start praying then that's when it all starts you will experience peace from God that you can't fathom.

3. 1 Peter 5:7

"Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you."

Wow how awesome is that to know that no matter what you have someone who will ALWAYS care about you.

4. Matthew 6: 25-27

25 "That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn't life more than food, and your body more than clothing?"

26 "Look at the birds. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren't you far more valuable to him than they are?"

27 "Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?"

This is my all time favorite!!!! He tells us in scripture that we don't have to worry about we are going to eat, drink, or wear the next day. It has already been written we are taken care of! How awesome is that ? Lastly, I love how it asks can it add a single moment to your life? No it can't. Let's stop worrying about things, and start giving it to Him.

5. Psalms 94:19

"When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer."

Don't have doubt, His comfort will give you hope.

6. Joshua 1:9

"This is my command-be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go"

Why should you feel weak or be afraid ? He is with you everywhere you go.

7. Proverbs 12:25

"Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person."

Challenge yourself to say something encouraging to someone. If they are stress don't add to it by worrying them.

8. Ecclesiastes 11:10

"So refuse to worry, and keep your body healthy. But remember that youth, with a whole life before you, is meaningless."

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
