1. Don't give up, it will get better

During the first few weeks of my freshman year I was becoming anxious and nervous because I knew that this was going to be the next four years of my life. Studying all the time, working when I wasn't studying and having absolutely no social life: welcome to college. However, even in this very stressful time I knew to trust God and not to quit. I was at this school for a reason and if I had decided to drop it all what would be different? Would I have more time to myself? No, because I would be working all the time. Would I be more content with life? No, because life will always throw you something you weren't expecting in or out of school.

So as I am writing in this Starbucks simultaneously switching between my studies and this article, I can successfully say that even after one month of school, it has gotten better. I'm learning to balance my time more wisely and I am becoming very successful in my studies. What can I say, it has its ups and downs. But I know that God has me right where he wants me. "Have not I commanded you? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be you dismayed: for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9

2. Even as an undecided major, God has a plan for me

Fast forward to now: School. Study. Sleep. (Pretty much me the past two weeks.) As I am taking all general education courses, required for every major, I know that I am helping to further my degree. But wait, I'm undecided and still do not know what I want to do for the rest of my life. I keep changing my mind and switching between different options. But you know what? God has a plan for me and I know whatever I decide to major in, the Lord's plan for me will line up with that.

3. Don't worry, you will make friends

Constantly sitting alone in class, at lunch, in the library and everywhere else. It's a new place with tons of new faces which can be very overwhelming, but as a couple of weeks went by I started to get more comfortable. I began to put myself out there and have become determined to make new friends. The friends I have made so far will for sure last a lifetime and have definitely made my college experience a little less stressful.
