12 Bible Verses To Get You Through Your Week
Keep Calm

Midterms and exam periods in general are one of the most stressful times of college. For some classes, you feel like you're basically teaching yourself everything you were supposed to be taught by the professor this semester, and that is a lot of knowledge to cram into a few days. Whether you're struggling with midterms, job stress, the end of a relationship, or one of the other many stressful things life throws at us, the Bible has provided an endless amount of encouraging words of wisdom to help you make it through.

1. Isaiah 26:3-4

"You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal."

When it seems like everything is out of your control, God has it all in control. He is more than worthy of your trust, you only have to let him take your worries and accept the peace he offers.

2. John 16:33

3. Psalm 46:1

"God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in times of trouble."

God is always with you, even on your midterms when you can't even have a calculator. He may not give you the answer, but he will certainly be there for support every step of the way.

4. Psalm 18:32-36

"It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand on heights. He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. You give me your shield of victory, and your right hand sustains me; you stoop down to make me great. You broaden the path beneath me, so that my ankles do not turn."

5. Isaiah 41:10

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

6. Deuteronomy 31:6

7. John 14:27

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

When Jesus ascended back into heaven, he didn't leave us to fend for ourselves. He left the Holy Spirit to live within us and guide and comfort us throughout our lives.

8. Philippians 4:6-7

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."

9. Romans 15:13

10. Psalm 55:22

"Cast your burden on the Lord, and he shall sustain you: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved."

One of my favorite analogies is to image yourself laying all your burdens at the foot of the cross. Close your eyes, take some deep breaths, and with each breath out, imagine yourself letting go of those burdens.

11. Matthew 11:28-30

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

12. Matthew 6:34

"Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient is the day is its own trouble."

Whatever your burdens may be, whether exams, family, work, etc., the Lord is happy to take your burdens. He is far stronger than we can ever be, lean upon Him and he will carry you through.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
