College can be tough sometimes and the only thing that gives me peace and calms my heart in the midst of the storm is the Lord. Most days, I find myself walking around campus continuously praying throughout the day. The power of prayer is astounding. Colossians 4:2 says, "Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving." Whether you are a college student or someone who knows a college student, there is always something you can be praying for us. Here are a few:

Pray that we will honor and glorify the Lord through our thoughts, actions and words throughout the semester.

Pray that God will give us the wisdom, strength and energy to make it through endless tests, homework and quizzes -- and to be able to study well and make good grades.

Pray that we are able to balance work and school life.

Pray that we are able to get enough rest.

Pray that we are a light shining for Jesus on and off campus.

Pray that we are able to grow in our relationships and be good to others.

Pray that we will rely on God and not let fear and worry take over us.

Pray for our future; that God's will be done and His peace be given.

Pray that we put our hope, joy and security in Him alone.

Pray that we stay healthy and get good exercise.

Pray that we are able to serve others well.

Pray that we will seek His kingdom above all else.

Pray that anxiety will be minimal and that we put our trust in Him.

These are only a few things to pray about that I thought about. Anything is possible with God, even A's on impossible exams!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
