As we grow up and navigate our way through adolescence and adulthood, we will be faced with obstacles in our life that we must overcome to fulfill our purpose.

Life is not always a breeze and we are often faced with a conflict that makes us want to give up. Even when we feel like we're alone, God is always with us. When we hit a rough patch in life, we need to remember to turn to God.

The Lord will help guide us through the darkness in our lives and shine the light on the path that's been chosen for us.

Here are ten Bible verses that I think will help people through their rough patches:

1. Nehemiah 8:10

"Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength."

2. Isaiah 12:2

"Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation."

3. II Timothy 1:7

"For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love, and of self-discipline."

4. II Thessalonians 3:16

"Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way."

5. Psalm 55:22

"Cast your burden upon the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never allow the righteous to be shaken."

6. Isaiah 40:29

"He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak."

7. I John 4:4

"You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world."

8. Matthew 5:4

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted."

9. 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."

10. 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."

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
