8 Bible Verses For The Stressed College Student
Kylee Rossiter

As we approach the end of the semester, as college students, we are feeling many different emotions.

The end of spring semester brings hours’ worth of studying, homework, papers, projects, exams, and for some graduation. This can be a lot for a college student and it can lead to unhealthy and unwanted stress and anxiety that hits us from all directions and at different times of the day and night.

This stress and anxiety can lead to poor coping mechanisms and bad habits which can be counterproductive to trying to end the semester strong and with positives outcomes.

The only way I have been able to tolerate and deal with the crazy stress that not only college but also life brings has been to turn to my faith. Putting my faith into God and trusting in His power and the plan he has for me has been my guiding light.

Reading His truth in Bible verses has helped put my mind at ease when stress and anxiety begins to creep back up. Here are eight of my favorite Bible verses that have calmed my anxiety and decreased my stress over the past few weeks as I prepare for exam week:

1. Peter 5:6-7

"Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, then he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."

2. Deuteronomy 31:6

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

3. Philippians 4:6

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to god."

4. Isaiah 41:10

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

5. Matthew 11:28

"Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

6. Matthew 6:34

"Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

7. Psalm 94:19

"When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought my joy."

8. Proverbs 3:5-6

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him and he will make your paths straight."

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.
