Getting Through The School Year The Right Way

As we all know, school has started back! Whether you’re going into middle school, high school, or college, each year you’re given a clean slate and you determine the outcome! It’s easy to give into temptations or to travel down the wrong path, but you have to stay strong. Use this school year to make a difference! Branch out, talk to new people, join a club, or find a new hobby. Do something to keep you busy! Each year you’re given more opportunities, but do you take advantage of them? Maybe or maybe not, but I highly encourage you to get out of your comfort zone. Don’t look back years from now saying, “dang it, I should have tried out” or “I really wish I would have joined that club back in high school.” Take advantage of every opportunity and make this year the best one yet!!

If you’re like me, than you are very spiritual person. I rely solely in my faith to get me through any circumstance. I know that at the end of the day I can always turn to God for help. Whether I’m having a bad day, or just struggling school-wise, I know that MY God never fails. He is the answer to anything and everything! God laid it on my heart to share some my favorite bible verses that have always motivated me! I know this world is tough, and I know that we all stay so busy, but don’t forget that you can always look for comfort in Christ. Try to take time out of your day just to pray and worship Jesus. I promise, it will make a world’s of a difference! I hope these verses help you like they’ve helped me!


1 Corinthians 10:13 “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.”


Hebrews 13:5 “Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”


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.”


Philippians 4:6-7 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”


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.”

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.
