College can be tough sometimes and the only thing that gives me peace and calms my heart in the midst of the storm is the Lord. Most days, I find myself walking around campus continuously praying throughout the day. The power of prayer is astounding. Colossians 4:2 says, "Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving." Whether you are a college student or someone who knows a college student, there is always something you can be praying for us. Here are a few:

Pray that we will honor and glorify the Lord through our thoughts, actions and words throughout the semester.

Pray that God will give us the wisdom, strength and energy to make it through endless tests, homework and quizzes -- and to be able to study well and make good grades.

Pray that we are able to balance work and school life.

Pray that we are able to get enough rest.

Pray that we are a light shining for Jesus on and off campus.

Pray that we are able to grow in our relationships and be good to others.

Pray that we will rely on God and not let fear and worry take over us.

Pray for our future; that God's will be done and His peace be given.

Pray that we put our hope, joy and security in Him alone.

Pray that we stay healthy and get good exercise.

Pray that we are able to serve others well.

Pray that we will seek His kingdom above all else.

Pray that anxiety will be minimal and that we put our trust in Him.

These are only a few things to pray about that I thought about. Anything is possible with God, even A's on impossible exams!

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:

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.
