For Those Who Think They Aren't Good Enough

Don't miss your blessing watching someone else get blessed.

For Those Who Think They Aren't Good Enough
Tripp Riggins

I have known what I wanted to do with my life for a long time now however, at this current point in my life I constantly make the mistake of second guessing myself on everything.

Not only do I second guess myself but I compare myself to others and I know that I'm not the only one who does this. Our college years are the land of uncertainty, comparison and competition.

I used to fear that someone who has a higher GPA or finds a class a breeze while I find it challenging means that maybe I'm not smart enough. I used to fear that because someone had a certain internship that I didn't have meant that they are going to be far more successful than me. I used to fear that I was never going to fulfill the expectations that those who meant the most to me, had for me.

But then I came to the realization and remembered that I have my own unique path.

We are meant to go through life experiencing things differently and in our own unique way. No two man are the same. That is what makes life so fun.

So to all my college students, stop focusing on the success of others and pay attention to the greatness that the Lord has in store for you. Don't miss your blessing, watching others get blessed.

“The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.” Psalm 138:8

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.
