It's nearing the end of this fall semester, and for most of us that means tons of projects, papers, and exams. For some of y'all, it means that you are finishing your first semester of your freshman year, and for some it might be your last fall semester as you look forward to graduation. For the sophomores and the juniors, it is just a stepping stone; you are one semester closer than you were at the beginning to starting your career. With all that being said:

DO NOT procrastinate.

DO NOT sleep less.

DO have a good time.

DO get your work done.

Even though you might think it's going to get better, most likely the case is, you will realize the amount of work you have to get done in the next month before exams. You will then wonder how exactly you are supposed to get everything done (and turned in on time.) But, some way you will do it. You will get everything turned in on time, and sometimes even early. Don't forget where you came from, and never forget that God puts you through stress and trials only to make you stronger on the other side. Once you make it through this semester, you are that much closer to a life outside of college.

Don't worry so much about everything, God would never give you more than He knows that you could do. It says in Luke 1:37 - For with God, nothing shall be impossible. So there it is, directly stated from the Bible. With God, our Savior, nothing we try to do will be impossible. Which means, even in stressful times, we should rely on God, and He will get us through it. When we are having quiet time with God and remaining in prayer, we will see a change in how our life begins to look up and prosper. Below are some Bible verses that might help you as the end of the semester draws closer everyday.

- 2 Corinthians 12:10 "When you've done all that you can do, that's when God will step in and do what you can't do."

- Proverbs 3:6 "Seek God's will in all that you do and He will direct your path."

- Matthew 6:34 "Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring enough worries on its own."

These are just a few verses that I read on a daily basis to help me get through the day. It reminds me that with God, anything I put my mind to, I can do and I can succeed while doing it. Finish the semester strong everyone! Remember, pray and don't worry about tomorrow, just focus on today.
