I know how it feels when it feels like your life is falling apart and that there is nothing that seems to go right. I know how hard it is to wake up some mornings and handle the same issues again and again. You are fighting with all you've got, but you are lacking hope that everything will eventually be O.K. You may feel like you are alone and fighting a war with yourself. Well, God knows how you feel and He is with you. Even if you have never accepted Him as your Savior, He is watching over you and cheering you on. Here's seven bible verses that might open your eyes to a new form of hope, Christ's grace.

1.“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3:22-23)

The love you have for yourself might not be there anymore, but God loves you and will always love you. He's always planning new ways to love you and bless you. You should trust Him and thank Him for a brand new day.


2.“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” (Matthew 5:4)

In the bible, it talks about the comfort that the Lord's grace will give. No matter how broken your heart is, God will comfort you and restore the brokenness with His never ending love.


3. “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:37-39)

These are some of the most encouraging and comforting verses in the bible. It means that even when we let go of God and tell Him we don't need Him, He is never going to let go. The point is, He loves everybody, even if they do not love Him back. We will never be able to love anybody or be loved by anybody more. Because of His love for you, you will not suffer forever. There is hope in His hands, and nothing can separate us from His love.


4. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1)

Here's the facts: nobody is going to be able to heal your broken heart. You have to heal your own. You can choose to do that by yourself, or with God by your side. But there is nothing else in this world that can heal and bring us as much strength as Him.


5. “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” (Psalm 23:4)

Imagine God sitting with you the next time you are sitting and crying alone. Imagine him hugging you and patting your back, telling you to not fear. God is constantly watching over us and if you let Him, He will be with you in those times of pain.


6."Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later." (Romans 8:18)

You might feel as if you cannot bear this pain any longer, but there will be something greater than it soon. God will provide his glory, which out weighs suffering always.

7."For you have been given not only the privilege of trusting in Christ but also the privilege of suffering for him." (Philippians 1:28-30)

Suffering indeeds strengthens us. Christ want us to represent Him and rely on Him through it all.

No matter what it is that is tearing you apart, the Lord loves you so much and wants you to trust His word and come to Him. Find comfort in somebody who decided to create you in the midst of creating every beautiful aspect of the world. Your suffering won't last forever, and you are absolutely never alone.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
