This Is What The 30-Day K-Love Challenge Has Done For Me

One of my favorite radio shows is K-Love. It's a contemporary Christian radio show that streams recent music and discusses what's going on in the world.

Years ago when I was listening they had a challenge to listen to only Christian music for 30 days. It sounds impossible, because you don't have control over what others are streaming, but that doesn't count. Whenever you have your own choice of music to listen to, choose Christian music.

I had tried it then and I loved it. I found that it made me an even more positive person than I already am. My faith grew incredibly. I didn't think I was a very religious person. I didn't really read my bible, or pray, I just went to church on Sundays and youth group on Wednesdays. However, through these songs, I was learning more. You would be surprised about the bible stories these songs reference. It got to the point where it wasn't just a 30-day challenge, but a lifestyle. It became my go-to playlist.

Now it's 2019. The first time I heard of this challenge was approximately 7 years ago.

It's been a while and I decided to try it out again to see what it would do for me, and it did the same thing.

I am much happier when I choose to listen to my Christian music compared to my other playlists. Most of the songs have an upbeat message and story.

If you get the chance, take the 30-day challenge yourself. Who knows what you will learn about yourself and your faith, it can work miracles for you.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
