Life is always full of struggles and chaos. In times of struggle, I always tend to stress and become overwhelmed with the constant battles hitting me in all directions. I have to be reminded to set my eyes back on the one who controls all things. These verses help me achieve that

1. Matthew 19:26

"Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

God is the only one who can help you overcome those "impossible" moments in life.

2. Psalms 23

"Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the all the days of my life."

This is one of the more commonly known passages of the Bible. Psalms 23 portrays how God is with his people at all time and guiding them in his direction. I love verse 6 because it shows how God's amazing love reaches you no matter how far you go or how bad life gets.

3. Philippians 4:7

"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 your minds in Christ Jesus."

This has always been a lifetime struggle for me. I love to worry about everything, but it's definitely not a good thing. Stressing out about every bad thing in your life will only make you crazy. Instead, pray to God about everything, even the little things because he cares about it all.

4. James 1:2-3

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance."

No one wants to go through pain and suffering, however when we do we know that the LORD will make us stronger in it. When trails come our way we can have hope that Jesus will never abandon us at any moment.

5. 2 Corinthians 4:18

"8 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal."

We have a great hope knowing that all the mess that we experience on this earth is temporary. When we fix our eyes on God the troubles of this world become very small next to the great things that are in store for us in eternity.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
