The Best Cheat-Sheet For Life
Hunterpaige McDaniel

The start of a new semester often fills our lives with a roller coaster of emotions. Through learning new schedules, adjusting to life back at school, planning for the future, deciding on a major, preparing to bring up your gpa, and everything else on your to-to list, it is easy to become overwhelmed. When our hearts, minds, and lives seem a mess, it is important to remember to trust in God. Do you ever wish that you had a cheatsheet to get you through life?? Well, that is exactly what God gave us the bible for. The Bible is the only cheatsheet that will bring nothing but positive results. Take advantage of His word. Look to the bible for the answers to everything that is keeping you from checking items off of that to-do list.

Find help for every emotion:

Psalm 37:23-24 esv


Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer; from the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I, for you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy.

Proverbs 19:21 esv


I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
