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

We all probably know this verse very well, enough to not have to look at it, but do we really sit down and meditate on the meaning behind the verse?

I know I have these past few days preparing for this big step we call college. Along with college comes with many different emotions and sometimes happiness as well. But the one thing that keeps me going is the passion I have for Christ and how much I really want him to change me for the better and use me during this new season.

Last night while I was having dessert with my department I was able to speak to someone whom I just met about what we both want to see here at GC and how we both had the same passion for Christ. At first I was really nervous and my hands were still shaking from Saturday night, but the Lord just knew the right words at the right time.

During that moment, for the first time since I got there. I felt at ease. I felt like everything was all starting to fall into place and it was all because of him and his glory and I can't begin to tell you how much it amazes me that he was able to use my struggles and strengths to help those around me. I also hope that he will continue to do so.

So if your at a stance in your life where you don't feel comfortable with your surroundings like me. Just trust him and strive for his presence. He will show you the light and the way of which you should go and will do so.mant great things for you that you would never imagine.

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.
