10 Verses to Remember as a Struggling College Student

1. You are not alone in times of pain and suffering.

“…we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.” Romans 5: 3-5

2. Your past does not determine your present or your future.

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11

3. We have all been made new and can live a new life.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” 2 Corinthians 5:17

4. In times of anxiety and fear, give it all up to Him.

“…cast all your anxiety on Him, because he cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7

5. We are never given trials too big.

“No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13

6. Times of heartache will soon end.

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3

7. He has a plan for us.

“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” Proverbs 16:9

8. He calls out to us when we are at the lowest of lows.

“…I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” Mark 2:17

9. Even if others persecute you and abandon you, He remains steady.

“For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weakness, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:10

10. You are graciously saved and loved more than you could ever imagine.

“For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace” John 1:16

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
