The Struggle Of College...

The struggle in college, not knowing what you want to do for your entire life. Every college student is going through the phase of figuring out what they would like to do with the rest of their lives. But as a senior, I still don't have a clue. Coming into college at 18, as a young adult, who would know what they would like to do? If you had it figured out, well, go you.

The struggle in college, changing your major more than once. Most students will change their major once, if not more. That's great for the university, because that means more money for them.

The struggle in college, waking up for that early 8 a.m. class that you skip half of the time. Having an 8 a.m. honestly is the worst, but it's the only time the class is offered, and you need it that semester because it's a prerequisite for another class you need the following semester.

The struggle in college, being tired. Most professors love planning tests around the same time. Students dislike it. Or, most do, anyway. That means an all-nighter, and just about every college student has stayed up all night at least once in their college career.

The struggle in college, finding a job, The town where your university is located is probably small, but if not, then you have an advantage. Living in a small town and dealing with school, homework, and then finding a job that will fit with your schedule can be difficult.

The struggle in college, being poor. So unless you're wealthy, the average college student struggles with financial problems. Paying for all the bills and then adding on additional organizations adds up.

The struggle in college, not finding a good man or woman. Nobody really wants a "relationship" in college. Most students just want someone to be there for them when needed: a night out every once in a while, so they don't have to be tied down,

The struggle in college, never looking cute for class. So you're walking to class and you see a girl dressed up, and you're staring at her, just wondering why. Most girls now wear and XL t-shirt when they should be wearing a small, and over-sized sweatpants with a hat thrown on, because they haven't washed their hair in a week.

The struggle in college, realizing it's senior year and you still have no idea what you're doing after college. But, one day, it will hit you. God will speak, and you will listen, and He will lead you down the road of success.

God has the most amazing plan for you. Jeremiah 29:11.

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.
