A Music Playlist For The Stressed, Faithful Student

Morning Coffee

If you are like me, you are in the midst of your semester and having trouble balancing so many things. Between homework, jobs, activities, and a social life, it can get tough. I know that when I am stressed or worried about anything, I like to relax and listen to music. And these are some songs that I listen to that remind me that no matter what I am going through, God is always on my side, cheering me on, and holding my hand:

1. Trust in You by Lauren Daigle

"Your ways are always higher, your plans are always good, there’s not a place where I’ll go, you’ve not already stood."

2. Tell Your Heart to Beat Again by Danny Gokey

"In this moment heaven's working everything for your good."

3. Greater by MercyMe

"There'll be days I lose the battle, grace says that it doesn't matter, 'cause the cross already won the war."

4. Blessings by Laura Story

"What if my greatest disappointments or the aching of this life is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy."

5. Voice of Truth by Casting Crowns

"I will soar with the wings of eagles when I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus singing over me."

6. All This Time by Britt Nicole

"I hear these people asking me, how do I know what I believe? Well, I'm not the same me, and that's all the proof I need. I felt love, I felt Your grace. You stole my heart that day."

7. Help Me Find It by the Sidewalk Prophets

"I will trust in You, You’ve never failed before."

8. He Knows My Name by Francesca Battistelli

"He calls me chosen, free forgiven, wanted, child of the King, His forever, held in treasure...I am loved."

9. I Am by Nicole Nordeman

"You let the angels dance around the throne, who can say when, but they’ll dance again, when I am free and finally headed home."

10. Through All of It by Colton Dixon

"But in those unclear moments You were the one keeping me strong. This is how my story's always gone."

So, my fellow lost but still faithful college student, when you are feeling especially lonely, confused, or anything in between, I promise that listening to these songs will remind you that everything will be OK.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
