6 Bible Verses To Get You Through This Semester
Meredith Hardy

College is often thought of as a new chapter where you’re suddenly supposed to have it all. Good grades are expected and needed for graduate school. A social life is wanted to keep sanity. Your future profession is supposed to be right in sight. All the while, this crazy thing we know as "life" sometimes comes into play.

Though college is often viewed as some of the most wonderful times one will experience, it is too trying. Despite the many support systems we surround ourselves with, one can still have the overwhelming feeling of stress and loneliness. It is during these times we turn to God.

Throughout the Bible, we are given opportunities for challenge and to grow as a child of God. We are able to overcome whatever obstacle we may face just by the power of His word. These words are precious gifts that are able to lift us up on our darkest of days. It is our decision to allow those words to become more than just words on paper; allow them to become a foundation.

Though these verses may not solve every issue we may face, they are able to give us light at the end of the tunnel.

1. When you're unsure

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9

2. When you feel weak

“I can do all things through God, who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13.

3. When you're tired

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28-30

4. When you feel overwhelmed

“From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” Psalm 61:2

5. When you're scared of the future

“Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act.” Psalm 37:5

6. When you're stressed

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27

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.
