Reminders We Need to Hear Everyday
Sabrina Cuadra

Sometimes we can forget who we are or where we came from because our lives get so busy. Our schedules get full of tests, quizzes, plans with friends, meetings, work, practices, involvement and so much more. So, here are some reminders of who we are and what we are

1. You are loved

You are loved by your friends and family. No matter what you are going through, your friends and family love you. Even if your friends seem distant right now or your family is far away, they will always love you. But even more so, you are eternally loved by God. He loves you so much that He sent His one and only Son to die on the cross just so that He can know us personally. He is jealous for us and wants to spend time with us, He wants to hear about your problems, He wants to know you because He loves you so much. Romans 5:8; 1 John 4:10; Romans 8:35-39

2. You are good enough

Yes, we all suck. We sleep through our alarms and are late to class or work, or miss class or work. We let people down, we lie, we make mistakes. But through it all we are enough. Some days we don't feel like we are good enough, we get assigned a task and don't know why because we don't think that we can do it. We feel like we only ever fail anyone, we can't trust people because they have let us down before. We aren't good enough, but Jesus makes us good enough. He died on the cross so that we could have a relationship with God. Because of that we are enough, we can accomplish anything through Jesus because He fills us and makes us whole. So stop comparing yourself to others, you are good enough

3. You have no right to be unhappy

If you just remind yourself that God eternally loves you, that He put His Son to die on the cross just to know you, and that you are enough, then you have no reason to be unhappy. Yes hard times are going to be thrown our way and life is going to be unfair but that is only so that we learn to lean on the Lord during those trying times and learn to rejoice during those times. They are hard for sure, but don't let the difficulty of them get in the way of you and your happiness. Remember who you belong to

4. God is with you

Wherever you are, or wherever you are going, the Lord is with you. He wants you to acknowledge Him and talk to Him. He wants to live life with you and walk side by side. He is there in the hard times, even when we don't see Him. And it's mostly because we aren't looking for Him. Find Him, He's there. Matthew 11:28-30

5. It's all going to work out

The Lord has a plan, and there is a reason for everything. Yes, that is one of the worst things to hear when you are going through a tough season in your life but if you really sit down and think about it then you realize that God's plan is so much greater than ours. The thing that you desire most in the world could end up being so detrimental to your life and that is why God is not giving it to you. He needs you to focus on Him and recognize that He has a plan and it will all work out. Just rest in the peace and comfort of knowing that He has a plan and He only wants the best for you. This does not guarantee that it is going to be only good things, this means that life will get hard but if you push through the hard times with your eyes on the Lord; the benefit you reap will be so much greater than anything you could ever desire. Psalm 46:10

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

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.
