I firmly believe in the power of prayer. I also love my sorority sisters as if they were my own blood. These are the 25 (so far) prayers that I pray over my sisters. So many of these prayers deal with love, but isn’t that what Christ is all about. We are called first to love as Jesus loved. To forgive as Jesus forgave, and to pray as Jesus prayed. For my sisters, I love you!

1. For my sister who is always kind, I pray you never lose your generous spirit.

2. For my sister who always laughs, I pray your smile never fades.

3. For my sister who lies behind my back, I forgive you and pray for your future.

4. For my sister who cannot control her anger, I pray you one day experience the love of God. Once you experience God’s love, grace, and mercy it is truly difficult to remain angry.

5. For my sister who lives in fear, I pray in the name of Jesus Christ that fear leaves you and a holy peace takes its place.

6. For my sister that I don’t always agree with, I pray for understanding, on both our parts.

7. For my sister who lacks drive, I pray God’s guidance over you. May He help you discern your path.

8. For my sister I don’t know very well, I pray for new friendship.

9. For my sister who is indecisive, I pray for discernment.

10. For my sister who seeks Christ diligently, I pray you continue to seek him all the days of your life.You are an inspiration to me.

11. For my sister who stays classy, I pray God’s grace over you.

12. For my sister who worries, again I pray for peace. I pray for God’s direction for your life. I pray that you will be at peace with who you are, and I pray God’s love over you. For you are loved.

13. For my sister who doubts herself, I pray for confidence. You can do it!

14. For my sister who keeps on giving, thank you for everything. I pray for emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical support.

15. For my sister who encourages me, I pray God’s blessings over you.

16. For my sister who works hard and never plays, I pray for laughter, spontaneity and fun. I pray that wherever your life leads you that you do not forget about your friends. I pray you don’t wake up lonely.

17. For my sister who is never angry, I pray for a patient spirit like yours.

18. For my sister who does not believe, I pray you one day will.

19. For my sister who cries herself to sleep at night, I pray for God’s love. Oh how he loves you, no matter what you have ever done, he will always love you. I pray you will lean on your friends for support. I pray.

20. For my sister who curses my name, I forgive you and pray that your heart finds healing.

21. For my sister who never ceases to make me laugh, I pray you never lose that sense of humor.

22. For my sister who has a past, don’t worry, we all do. So I pray you see God’s love and that you always lean on him.

23. For my sister struggling with uncertainty, I pray for comfort in the Lords timing.

24. For my sister who feels unwanted and worthless. You are like a precious stone in the eyes of God. You are always wanted and never worthless. I pray you experience God’s unfailing, perfect love.

25. For my sister in need of healing, whether it be emotional, spiritual or physical, I pray for healing.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

A book by the name of "The Stranger."

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

Photo by Rey Seven on Unsplash

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.

You receive confused looks from others when you name drop an author/literary terminology.

You wear your suffering as a badge.

You proofread every text and social media post you write.

You cringe when you read a non-English major's paper,

You could spend all day in a library.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

The good old days are always happening now, so live in the moment.

“Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica” are the three most important topics one can talk about.

Everybody has a Toby, and they are just someone you have to learn to deal with.

It's never too early to eat ice cream.

Schrute’s are always prepared for anything.

Except pop culture references...

Holidays are important and a very good reason to host any kind of party.

There will always be cynical co-workers to deal with.

Putting things in Jell-O is a great use of your time.

Sometimes funny voices and personas make awkward situations easier (just ask Prison Mike).

That places you may not always love can bring you the people you love.

Love can be really weird.

At Halloween time, it is trivial to come with your best costume ready.

Bros should always come before hoes because...

Declaring bankruptcy isn't as hard as we all thought.

Office places can be weird and stressful at times.

Michael Scott loves Dunder Mifflin and the Scranton Office more than anything.

"The Office" truly does have a lot that it can teach us.

Ah, pre-med: home of the dead at heart.

1. You have forsaken all your friends for coffee.

2. 8 hours of sleep? Try 4 instead.

3. Everyone asks you for medical advice, even though you’re not a doctor yet.

4. Your second home is the library.

5. Almost all of your nightmares are about school and exams.

6. You don’t see the problem with taking 3 technicals in one semester.

7. Research, research, research, research, research.

8. You volunteer more than any of your friends.

9. You like going to labs more than going to lecture.

10. But, you know it’ll all be worth the struggle the day you don that white coat and call yourself a doctor.

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.
