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

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
