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

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
