Faith And Facing The Future: My Last Undergrad Semester
Samantha Blasch

I can't believe that my 4 years of undergrad is coming to an end. It's been a long journey full of laughs, tears, and heart-filling good moments that have made getting my undergrad degree so special.

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it.

Now that the end is in sight, I don't know if I'm ready to get there. This week, I started my internship and if this internship is any indication of what I will face once I go out into the field for real: I'm scared.

I am scared that I won't be prepared enough for what comes next. When we enter our fields of choice, none of us are truly prepared for what we'll face, and I know that. The thing that gives me great confidence, however, is that God does know what's coming next, and I know that he is with me and will stay with me no matter what I face.

My faith is the main thing that has kept me grounded through these past (almost) 4 years. It has been constant, and when times of trouble and times of greatness rolled around, God was there when it sometimes felt like no one else was. I know that with Him by my side, I have nothing to fear, but the anxiety that I feel still sometimes rears its ugly head.

I worry that I won't be good enough, or that I won't be able to achieve everything I had hoped to once I leave here.

Praying every night (and several times during my day) and reading my bible help me to stay sane and to find my center again when the world gets too big and I start to feel too small.

I can honestly say that I don't know if I would have made it this far in my college career if I didn't have my faith to fall back on.

I am also eternally grateful that in my time here in college, I have made many friends who are also strong in their faith who I can lean on when I'm not strong enough. It's also because of their incredible support and love, as well as the love and support from the people I love at home, that I continue to strive to be the best that I can be.

I don't know what this semester holds for me, or what comes next, but I hope that it will be fulfilling and that I will learn so much from it.

While this time in my life comes with a great deal of uncertainty, I have a feeling that I'll be okay, and that no matter what comes my way, I'll pull through.

Here's to a great last semester of my undergrad, and high hopes for what I'll face in the Great Big Unknown.

Catch you all on the flip side. :)

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.

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.
