College is a time in many Christian's life where their faith is truly tested. It's a time where you're stressed out, homesick and surrounded by temptation. If you don't go to a Christian college, you have fewer outlets to renew your faith. I've gathered some scriptures from the bible to help those who need a little help in their life. We've all been there at some point. I remember at one time, my grandmother told me "God loved us before we loved him" and that has stuck with me since. The only breath we can be sure of is the last one you just took. We don't just need to seize the day, we need to live our lives as God intended.

So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! 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.
