The Importance of Faith in College
Odyssey

Although it can be challenging at times, it is so important to be solid in what you believe in. Standing firm in your faith in a world filled with corrupted ways is part of what we are called to do as followers of Christ.

In college, you will, or may have already encountered different types of people or professors who make you question or doubt your faith. It is so important to keep in mind that they view the world through the eyes of man. As Christians, we are to view the world through what the gospel tells us. God's word speaks the truth and we must question if a situation or a decision lines up with what the bible says.

In college, a time of impressionable young adults trying to find their place in this world, faith is so important to keep. College will push you beyond your limits, stress you out, and teach you a lot about yourself. Christ brings peace through it all. You can choose to grow your faith during this time and rely on God or your faith won't be strong enough to get you through the first semester.

So if you are a follower of Christ and you are struggling with a firm foundation in your faith, let this be an encouragement to you. College is a time to grow and become stronger in your faith. Seek after Christ every day and it will bring you great joy and peace. In such a crucial time in our lives, we need God. Don't be easily influenced by peers or professors. Question certain things that are taught or said, challenge it. Be in the world but not of it. Follow Christ and not the ways of man.

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.
