An Open Letter to Christians in College

Dear Christian brothers and sisters,

I hope this crazy world of college is going well for you, hopefully it is a journey without many ups and downs. But we all know that certain things are placed in front of us so that we can get stronger. 

Don't be discouraged if you see the world differently from some of your friends. We aren't all created alike so we have different views on things. Take what they say into consideration and try and show them how we live life too. 

College, for some, can be like a mission field. Many can join an organization, sorority or fraternity to be the light to the darkness. Because, after all that is what we are called to be. God wouldn't have put you in that place if he didn't see a special reason. Just remember that when times get hard, and especially when you feel alone. 

Maybe that's not you. Maybe you like to show people God's love rather than preaching it, which is fantastic! Use those skills to show others that God's people can be selfless and serving.

Overall, don't try and change yourself just for someone to like you. Stick to who you are and why you do things the way you do. If anyone doesn't like it, then that's not your problem. You were created like that for a reason, so don't let that slow you down!

Know that you are never alone during your college experience. There is always someone going through the same things you are. We weren't meant to walk this path alone, so don't try to!

Love, 

A fellow sister in Christ

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
