I've compiled a list of 10 verses I wanted to share with others who are struggling to know God better.

1. Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."

This has always been one of my favorites. It reminds me to trust in God's plan and His perfect timing.

2. Romans 8:31 "What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?"

We need to remember that God is on our side.

3. Ephesians 4:32 "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."

This is so important. I am a person who is big on forgiveness because God forgives us every single day. We should be able to forgive other imperfect humans.

4. Luke 6:31 "And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them."

Everyone knows the golden rule, but I think a lot of people take it too lightly. God is serious when he says to treat others as you want to be treated.

5. Philippians 4:4 "Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice."

Ah yes. Rejoicing. We must remember to thank God for all that he has done for us. Praise him for his gracious works.

6. Romans 12:12 "Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer."

I like this verse because it is so truthful. If you do these things your life will get so much better.

7. Isaiah 41:10 "Fear not, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

I suffer from anxiety, so this is a good reminder that God is protecting me at all times. He gives us strength and the amour of his love to shield us.

8. Psalms 147:3 "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."

Everyone experiences brokenness at different points in their lives. If we turn to God, healing will come.

9. Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, a I will give you rest."

Sometimes I get so overwhelmed with school that I just need to sit and rest in God. He will restore your energy and motivation.

10. 1 Chronicles 16:34 "Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!"

The Lord is SO good. Take a look at your life and make a list of all the good things God has given you because He loves you. His love will never end.

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.
