I'm not a religious person whatsoever... (trust me, ask anyone who knows me). I haven't been to church in almost 2 years, not counting weddings, baptisms or funerals. I am not the perfect "child of God". But recently, I've been feeling alone. Things have been stressful and I've been questioning everything that happens in my life: love, strength, guidance. Who do I talk to when questioning these sort of things in life? Lately, I've been looking up bible versus and they're pretty outspoken and actually quite helpful. I've had questions about how to live and bible quotes help me so much. My article today is some of my favorite bible versus to get through your day.

Love:

"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love" -1 Corinthians 13:13

Strength:

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. -Jeremiah 29:11

Guidance:

"For you are my rock and my fortress; For Your name's sake you will lead me and guide me" -Psalm 31:3

Hope:

"Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life" -Proverbs 13:12

Sadness:

The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. -Deuteronomy 31:8

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.

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.
