How to handle being shaken.

Tim Tebow knows a thing or two about disappointment. He was said to be one of the best, if not THE best, college quarterback in history and had a bright future as an all-star athlete in the National Football League (NFL). As the 2010 pre-season kicked off, however, Tim’s professional football career dimmed. Sure, he had some bright moments where it looked hopeful for him and his team, but those moments vanished like summer rain in the desert. In 2011 he came out with his autobiography, depicting his disappointment in the NFL. Being the ever-positive light in the darkness of the celebrity world, though, Tim took a career turn and continues to remain a role model for both athletes and Christians.

After spending three years in the NFL, Tim began his career as a SEC Nation co-host in August 2014. He travels around to different college football games and works alongside other hosts, discussing the upcoming games and their players. Although he’s no longer on the field playing, Tim has continued his new career with joy. In “Shaken,” Tim’s new book coming out this October, he talks about what it takes to keep trusting God when your life doesn’t go as planned. It’s easy to get lost, confused, angry, and frustrated when you think God is leading you down a specific path, but it takes a sudden turn. Tim addresses these relatable feelings in his second autobiography, making it a must-read this fall.

Whether or not you were a fan of Tim during his football career, you still are a fan, or you’ve never given him much thought, you should read his latest book. Encouragement, hope, relief, and inspiration are sure to be found within these pages. Through his foundation and charitable work, Tim is a selfless guy doing his part to make the world a better place and leave it better than when he entered it. Having to relook at his own dreams and trust God with a different path than expected, Tim offers great advice to those in a similar boat. Love him or hate him, read his book and learn from his life experience.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
