Listening to a great worship song can totally change your mood and your perspective. Here are 11 songs that can do just that.

“O God Forgive Us” by for KING & COUNTRY (feat. KB)

This sober song reminds us that we often fall short. We can become desensitized to our sin. Powerful songs like this can renew our perspective.

“Nothing I Hold on to” by Will Reagan, United Pursuit

"Nothing I Hold on to" is a nice calm song that focuses on trusting God and giving our lives to him. After all, isn't He the one who gave us life to begin with?

Make sure you listen til the end or else you'll miss hearing one of the best verses!

“Reckless Love” by Cory Asbury

Chances are if you listen to Contemporary Christian often you've heard this song before. That's because it's a great song! And Cory Asbury has an incredible voice. Go listen to this if you haven't already!

“Let It Happen” United Pursuit (feat. Andrea Marie)

"Let It Happen" is about how we were meant to live with passion. Sometimes we get caught up in stress… We avoid or withdraw. But we aren't meant to live that way. This song is a great reminder.

“Build My Life” by Housefires III (feat. Pat Barrett)

This is a peaceful song that focuses on how God is the only firm foundation for a good life. Check out the other songs by Housefires if you get a chance! Awesome group.

“A Prayer” by Kings Kaleidoscope

This song is very unconventional. It does have a bad word in the refrain (honestly it's for effect, it is to show you the emotional intensity of the one singing that is facing anxiety and fear). If you wish to avoid the bad word, the link to this youtube video (in the picture) does go to the clean version.

All of that aside, this is an incredible song. It is very lively. It walks you through how one feels when they are experiencing anxiety, fear, and doubt. Then closer to the end of the song the voice of Jesus breaks through. It is movingl. This is a song everyone must listen to at least once.

“I Shall Not Want” by Audrey Assad

Audrey Assad has such a beautiful voice. This is a great song that reminds us that we should be living a life unattached to the things of this world.

“Song Of My Father” by Urban Rescue

This is perfect to listen to if you are feeling anxious. It is very pleasant and shares a message of hope.

“King of the World” by Natalie Grant

This song focuses on not underestimating God and His abilities. He created everything, and we have to remember that.

“I Surrender” by Hillsong Worship

"I Surrender" is about letting go of the tight grip we have on our lives and letting God take over. It is very powerful.

"Be Still" by The Fray

"If no one is standing beside you, be still and know I am." I've loved this song for years now! An oldie but an amazing-ie. Make sure you give it a listen!

I hope you enjoyed the songs I picked out. If you didn't, keep exploring! Finding good music that speaks to you is important.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
