A Thank You Letter to God From a College Student

onlyhalfwaythere.net

God,

I will never be able to thank you enough times, or in the right ways for everything you have done for me. But, as a college student, I've seen you work in my life in so many more ways than I was ever able to see before. I'm not perfect, and I fail, week after week, to make enough time to read and think about the Word, and to praise you. Yet, in all of the times that I am imperfect, you are so forgiving and understanding.

College is one of the hardest, most stressful times. Not a day goes by when I'm not stressed out about something. Yet, without fail, God, you are there to reassure me that everything will work out. You remind me that "I can do all [this] through him who gives me strength" (Philippians 4:13). Even on the worst days, I feel your presence in the hugs that my friends give me, and the reminder that an awful day is only one day.

College is also one of the most amazing and wonderful times. Amazing friendships, relationships, and memories are formed during college, and on my happiest days, I don't thank you enough for the amazing life you have blessed me with. Even on my worst days, I don't often enough see the beauty and gift of a life you have given me.

Thank you, God, for never giving up on me. Thank you for forgiving me when I sin, day after day, and for never allowing me to forget about how wonderful my life truly is, even on a bad day.

Love always,

A college student

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
