To Christian Girls: Stay Strong, You Are Loved
Huffington Post

Dear Sisters in Christ, being a girl has always been hard and there is no doubt that girls in the twenty-first century still have a lot of struggles just like everyone else, but being a conservative girl in 2017 is getting harder and harder and is about to get even worse. All around us we are being fed the idea that keeping those "Christian values" we hold so dear is wrong or outdated. But you need to remember that those values that you hold so dear to your heart were put there by the Holy Spirit to guide you through right and wrong.

Remember who you dress for. You don't dress to impress the world with your body. you dress for you and most importantly for God. Don't feel forced to wear or not wear anything you are not comfortable wearing or anything that does not bring glory to God.

Don't let the world force you into supporting ideas or campaigns your values don't support. If you don't like campaigns like "free the nipple" don't feel compelled to support them just because everyone around you says this is what the norm should be. Remember your values in every situation and measure them against any such campaign, if it doesn't bring glory to God, If it is not right, then don't support it.

Don't be afraid to fight for your beliefs, as obsolete as the world would like to paint them they are still your beliefs and it is up to you too keep them alive and well. If you believe in life for every human being from the moment they are conceived then stand up for it and stand up tall and proud. Yes, there are those who will try to bring you down for it and yes, there are those who will look at you differently and treat you differently for having the morals and beliefs you have and that is alright. Keep your mind in your God and in your beliefs, open your ears and eyes to those who share your beliefs, find a support system and you'll soon realize that those voices telling you to stop and change to accommodate to them are not as strong as they seem.

You are not a perfect woman and that is okay. Part of being a conservative person, a person of God, brings about a set of standards that you will be held accountable for following. But at the end of the day, you are still human and you will still fall short. Don't worry, though, every woman and every man in history have failed, everyone has sinned at some point, we have all fallen short. Stand up, take whatever consequences come your way, and keep going. Just because you did something wrong, just because you sinned, or just because you regret making a certain decision (or decisions) doesn't mean you are forever broken.

Most importantly remember that you are not alone. The world seems to be on a mission to make us feel like we are all freaks of nature. The media loves to portray conservative values as dying old-fashioned values and is constantly bringing and building up those voices that love to make us feel like there is something wrong with us for not believing or acting the way they do. But remember that you are not alone, there are thousands of thousands of brave, brilliant, beautiful women all around the world who believe just what you believe in. Women who fight for the right of life for everyone, women who dress with "modesty", women who believe in staying pure until marriage, God fearing and bible believing women are all over the world and they are looking for others like them just like you are looking for them.

My beautiful sisters in christ don't ever let the world convince you that there is something wrong with you. Remember whose you are and to whom you serve; to him, you are worth more than all the gold ans silver in the world. This world can say whatever they want to you and about you but you are not theirs and they can't change a thing about you. You are priceless, you are untouchable.

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.

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.
