Chasing After You

Life is hard and everyone wants to be in control of their plans

I think it's about time that I publicly announce that I have no idea what I'm doing.

I don't why I'm in my major. I don't know what I'm going to do after college. I don't have the slightest idea of what my goal is in my career. I don't know where I'm going to be next year. I don't even know what I'm going eat for lunch or wear tomorrow!

I really don't know anything and that can be hard to say. I want control over my life. I want to know every answer.

I bought a planner so I could put my life together and act like I have plan for my life. Like I actually know what I'm doing.

I also like to fool everyone and tell them what I would like to do after college, but honestly, I don't know.

Do you ever feel like that? Do you feel like you don't know where your life is going? Do you ever fool the people around you like that?

In the midst of having a semi-emotional breakdown, I realized that I'm never going to know what to do. I'm never going to have all the answers.

But guess what. IT'S OKAY! know that's hard to believe, but trust me.

Now, this is going to sound really cliché, because I know you've heard "you can't do this by yourself, so give it all to God," or "God has a plan so listen don't worry," millions of times.

But the question is, have you actually done those things? Have you actually gone to God, in prayer, telling Him that you need His help, that you don't know what you are doing and that you need Him in your life? Have you ever asked Him to lead you? Do you actually listen to His plan?

Stop trying to plan your life out on your own. You can't do it.

God wants to help you, but He wants you to ask. He wants to have fellowship with you! He wants you to come after Him because HE IS COMING AFTER YOU!

So, I don't know where I'm going, but I'm chasing after Him. I'm chasing after His grace and His holiness.

It's time to stop chasing after our plans for the future and start chasing after Christ. He will show you your path. You just have to be patient and trust Him.

Chase after Him.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
