Trusting Jesus When College Gets Hard

Trust me, it will.

Trusting Jesus When College Gets Hard

I’ve had the song ‘Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus stuck in my head for days and I am so glad I have. You know why? Because college is HARD.

I think (wait…I know) I complain about college a billion times a day and honestly, when I see “tourists” aka “potential students” come through my school I want to tell them college is a trap. These past few weeks have been crazy stressful with homework and studying and typing papers and trying to find time for myself but when my Spotify played NewSpring’s version of ‘Tis So Sweet…I may or may not have belted out every. single. word. and I was in the middle of typing a paper. Jesus knew I needed to hear those words.

This song came on at the perfect time because I was stressing about having over 1,000 words for a paper and enough research all while contemplating dropping out of college that I forgot to really listen to the words.


My favorite part of the song is ‘Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus, just to take Him at His word.” Those words tell me that it’s so dang sweet to trust in Jesus and rely on His word even when I’m selfish and don’t rely on Him enough.


So…if you’re a college student or you will be soon, let me tell you that it WILL be hard. There will be times when you want to drop out and just want to crash on the bed and sleep for days and you don’t think you can go another day, trust in Jesus. Take Him at His word and trust Him. When you can’t trust friends or family… you sure can trust Jesus.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
