5 Scriptures College Students Can Apply To Any Dilemma

pintrest

It's finally here! The closing weeks of fall semester. Cram in the papers, the tests and of course the assignments that were due months ago. Don't worry though, while you're trying to finish the semester strong, raise that GPA, and make sure your social, academic and spiritual life doesn't fall short, I got your back.

So, here are a few scriptures to remember during those chaotic moments.

1. Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." NIV

So next time you're crying about being a fifth year senior and yet you have no idea where life is going, don't worry because with Jesus on your side, it's going to be good!

2. Ephesians 3:20

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us." NIV

He knows we struggle. Whether you need five cents, five dollars, or five thousand dollars, a hot meal or just the strength to get through, He's got it for you. Never be afraid to press forward and ask for "above and beyond," but never forget to first be thankful for what you already have! That's just as important as what you're in need of.

3. Luke 22:32

"But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail." NIV

When you feel really down in the dumps, just remember Jesus is literally rooting for you and cheering you on 24/7. CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP.

4. Joshua 1:9

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." NIV

Well, even if you don't wanna go to school, class, work, or vocal juries (AM I RIGHT?!) IT'S OK because Jesus is right there with you!

5. John 3:16

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." KJV

If none of these scriptures do it for you, just remember that God loves you so much. Through your mental breakdowns, your empty pockets and empty bank account, your "irrational" emotions and emotional episodes, HE LOVES YOU. FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
