We all know college can be hard. Sometimes the weight of everything is just so heavy and we need a pick-me-up. Between school, work, extracurricular activities, and everything else you could ever imagine, the only thing that seems to weigh against the storm is the word of God.

1. "And the Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail." - Isaiah 58:11

Where God guides, He provides.

2. "But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me..." - 2 Timothy 4:17

He is with you and He makes you strong.

3. "God can restore what is broken and change it into something amazing. All you need is faith." - Joel 2:25

With faith in God, we can become whole.

4. "...though the mountains may crumble, you will not..." - Isaiah 54:10

The Lord of all creation will sustain you. He will keep you together in times of trouble and strife.

5. "I chose you. I wanted you. I appointed you. I set you where you are." - John 15:16

You are not in your current situation for no reason, you were put where you are for a purpose - even if you don't quite understand the purpose.

6. "...perhaps this is the moment for which you have been created." - Esther 4:14

You purpose in and through God sometimes lies where you least expect it to.

7. "I have called you by name; you are Mine." - Isaiah 42:1

He knows you and loves you. He named you His before you even had a name to be given.

8. "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer." - Romans 12:12

Remember these things when you get stressed, when you feel like everything at school is weighing you down.

9. "The grass withers and flowers fade, but the word of the Lord stands forever." - Isaiah 40:8

Today will pass, tomorrow will pass. Your test will pass and so will that paper or that research project. The Lord is forevermore.

10. "Jesus replied, 'You don't understand now what I am doing, but someday you will.'" - John 13:7

The stress of life is sometimes unexplained, but one day you will realize why it was worth it.

11. "He does not treat us as our sins deserve." - Psalms 103:10

After all, He loves you. He knew you before you were born. He loves you as much today as He did yesterday - all sin aside.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
