Junior Year Of College Is Hard, But The Battle Isn't Over Yet

At this point in my college career I wish I could just sit down with God face to face and ask Him what I am supposed to do with my life, because right now, I am really unsure.

Junior Year Of College Is Hard, But The Battle Isn't Over Yet

I wish I would have known going into junior year that it was going to be one of the hardest years of my life. My classes aren't even the issue this year, it's all the pressure I have on me to pass the GKT that is really scaring me. I have a few more months to pass this exam that has been kicking my butt since sophomore year. I have never really been scared of what my future might hold for me, but there's definitely a sense of fear and insecurity this semester.

Yesterday, I did two weeks worth of homework and quizzes just so that I could have the time to study for my exam that I have to take next month. I have never felt so burnt out before, and I know that this is just the beginning of all the craziness that is to come. It sucks being unsure of what the future holds for me, because I have my dreams and my aspirations, but I don't know if that is what God has planned for me, and at this point in my college career I wish I could just sit down with God face to face and ask Him what I am supposed to do with my life, because right now, I am really unsure.

But I find myself a little at ease, knowing that God does have something in mind for me even if I don't have the slightest idea. I have been learning how to have grace with myself, especially with school, and the pressures that come with it. If God gives so much grace, then we shouldn't be afraid to have a little for ourselves, because life isn't easy, and there's always room for a little grace. Nobody is perfect, and this battle isn't over until God finishes it.

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.
