A Letter To God Asking For Help During Second Semester

Please give me the strength and motivation to do so.

God,

The lack of motivation towards the start of the second semester is normal for me. I am mentally and physically tired, but I am almost at the end. It's almost summer. I don’t want to stop walking down the perfect path you have for me.

When I am going along and come upon a speed bump, I want you to help me go over it and keep driving. The papers I have to write and the tests I have to study for are just small speed bumps I have been given by you to make me wiser. With help from you, I can write these papers and gain motivation to study for these tests. I need you here to give me strength and motivation.

I know there will be times when I feel like I am carrying a heavy load. There’ll be times when I feel like the task you have given me is impossible to perform. I pray that you would never put anything on my shoulders that I cannot carry. I hope that if you put me in a certain situation, it’s because you know that I am strong enough to go through it.

When I feel like crying, I pray I can cry to you. When I feel like a failure, I want you to be there to show me how much you love me. I do not want to be a failure and give up. I want you to hold my hand through every second of my life.

I pray that you will seek my heart through my darkest moments. I hope you see me, see my heart, and see my burdens. I want to be able to follow in your footsteps and be free from the doubt. I hope you have the power to calm any storms and waves this second semester may give me.

I want nothing to separate my love from you, not even my lack of motivation. When I have no motivation and when I don't feel good enough, I want you to be there to show me that I am more than good enough.

So, please be with me through the easy and the rough times during this second semester. I promise to be patient with you.

Sincerely,

A college student

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.
