God Has A Funny Way Of Telling You Things
Jenny Davis

When I first started college, I thought that everything was going to go my way and that I would graduate as a teacher four years later. Well, I guess God had a different plan for me and for my life. Plans that include me, in the middle of my sophomore year, changing my major. I realized through the decision process that I just needed to let go and to let God. I know, I know, people say that all the time, most of the time people just go on about their business. However, if you really do let go and let God, your life will change for the better and here are a few reasons why.

It feels like a weight is lifted off your shoulders

Last year, I thought my I had my plan all figured out but this semester, I felt a calling to change my major. A calling to change my major from Special Education to Christian Ministries. I have truly had a weight lifted off my shoulders when I finally took a leap of faith and talked to people about what I was feeling. A few friends have also told me that they have heard me talk more passionately about serving the Lord through teaching about him here and anywhere than they have ever heard me talk about education. After praying and seeking the Lord's guidance over the past few months, officially changing my major is making me so much more happy about what God is doing in my life!

Your life will change for the best and you will have a better relationship with God

Over the course of praying and seeking guidance, I have become more confident in myself. I have learned that if I want something, I need to pray and see if that is Gods plan for my life, and if it is, He will sure as the world tell me. My life, since I have first started this journey has definitely changed, and I am so glad that it has. I have great friends that support me in everything that I choose to do, and I am forever grateful that I have them in my life!

Your life will have more purpose

Before you even become part of God's kingdom, your life already has a purpose; but, when you become saved, and start doing the things that he tells you. Your life will become better than it ever has been. I would not change anything that I went through while going through this part of my life as Gods daughter. I am forever thankful that I have changed my major, and I can't wait to see where it takes me!

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
