Bible Verses for the Struggling College Student

College can be very trying at times. We all struggle to juggle school work, jobs, social lives, extracurricular activities and more. Through these challenging times, it is sometimes hard to remember why we're doing what we're doing and why we put ourselves through all the stress that college entails. We're here because God wants us to be here and all of these struggles and hardships are a part of a grander plan. Sometimes we may feel alone but God has left reminders throughout the Bible that he cares for and loves us and only wants what is best for us. So, for those who are feeling stressed, anxious, discouraged or overwhelmed, you are not alone and these Bible verses are here to offer you encouragement and support.

When You Feel Anxious

"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7

"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful." John 14:27

When You Feel Tired

"Come to me all who are weary and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28

"He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak." Isaiah 40:29

When You Feel Confused

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him and who have been called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28

When You Feel Lost

"I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken." Psalm 16:8

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him and He will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-7

When You Feel Overwhelmed

"When spirits grow faint within me, it is you who knows my way." Psalm 142:3

When You Feel Stressed

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me." John 14:1

"Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself." Matthew 6:33-34

When you're feeling anxious, lost, confused or stressed, cast your worries on Him and reflect on God's Word. No matter where life takes you, trust in Lord and believe that everything that happens is all part of His bigger plan.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
