When I'm having a bad day, the first thing I turn to is Christian music. Music can always make the bad days a little better. Knowing that I serve a loving and forgiving God makes it impossible to not put a smile on my face and push through.

15. "Forgiven" by Crowder

This song constantly reminds me that even though we are sinners, God always forgives us and loves us without ceasing.

14. "Lion and the Lamb" by Bethel Music

Never forget that the lamb is always in control.

13. "One Step Away" by Casting Crowns

This song is a reminder to surrender to God and not put it off!

12. "Beautiful Messes" by Hillary Scott

God loves us and even though we are messes, he sees us and he thinks we are Beautiful.

11. "Jesus" by Chris Tomlin

This is simple in itself, Jesus loves us.

10. "King of the World" by Natalie Grant

Do not forget that Jesus is the King of the World.

9. "Thy Will" by Hillary Scott

God's will will always prevail and be better than any plan we may have for ourselves.

8. "Keep Me in Your Will" by Jessica King

Lord, please keep me in your will so I won't be in your way. Allow me to see that you are in control, and I am not.

7. "Mended" by Matthew West

You are never too broken for God, and this song is a wonderful reminder of that.

6. "Keeper of the Stars"

This song brings tears to my eyes every time. Do we ever really think about just how amazing God is and how his hand is in everything?

5. "Thank You" by Ivan Parker

This song is just a gesture to the christians who fully submit themselves to Christ and make a difference in the lives of others.

4. "Giants Fall" by Francesca Battistelli

With God on your side, you can conquer any giant you may face!

3. "The Broken Ones" by Talley Trio

Spread love to the ones who are broken and hurting, because that is what God did to us.

2. "Through All of It" by Colton Dixon

We fight so many battles in our everyday lives,and we have to remember God is there through all of it.

1. "Chain Breaker" by Zach Williams

This song gives me chills. God is all powerful and all loving. He can take away the deepest wounds.

These are my 15 favorite songs, I hope you take some time to listen to them!

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

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.
