Getting Through The School Year The Right Way

As we all know, school has started back! Whether you’re going into middle school, high school, or college, each year you’re given a clean slate and you determine the outcome! It’s easy to give into temptations or to travel down the wrong path, but you have to stay strong. Use this school year to make a difference! Branch out, talk to new people, join a club, or find a new hobby. Do something to keep you busy! Each year you’re given more opportunities, but do you take advantage of them? Maybe or maybe not, but I highly encourage you to get out of your comfort zone. Don’t look back years from now saying, “dang it, I should have tried out” or “I really wish I would have joined that club back in high school.” Take advantage of every opportunity and make this year the best one yet!!

If you’re like me, than you are very spiritual person. I rely solely in my faith to get me through any circumstance. I know that at the end of the day I can always turn to God for help. Whether I’m having a bad day, or just struggling school-wise, I know that MY God never fails. He is the answer to anything and everything! God laid it on my heart to share some my favorite bible verses that have always motivated me! I know this world is tough, and I know that we all stay so busy, but don’t forget that you can always look for comfort in Christ. Try to take time out of your day just to pray and worship Jesus. I promise, it will make a world’s of a difference! I hope these verses help you like they’ve helped me!


1 Corinthians 10:13 “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.”


Hebrews 13:5 “Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”


Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”


Philippians 4:6-7 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”


Proverbs 3:5-6 “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.”

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever.

Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
