This Is For When You Feel Alone

He Is Good

This Is For When You Feel Alone
YMI

A girl sits in her dorm room, sick (from bad food) when a dance is going on. It's Friday night and while almost every girl on campus is outside taking pictures in their prom dresses, she sits alone, sick. And the day before she realized her car battery died, so going somewhere is not an option.

Okay, that was a little dramatic, it really wasn't that bad, but sometimes college is hard. You will wish your parents were here many, many times. You will wonder why everyone seems to be in a relationship but you. And you will wonder what your future will be like and what you should do to get there.

Through all the drama, endless schoolwork, and surprises of everyday life, God is still in control. Through it all my eyes on are Him! Okay so I may not keep my eyes on Him all the time, but I pray everyday for me to be focused on Him and for Him to guide me and use me. So in this sick-filled and unglamorous Friday night, I will rejoice in Him and what He is doing!

I will praise the Lord, who counsels me;
even at night my heart instructs me.
I keep my eyes always on the Lord.
With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest secure,
because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,
nor will you let your faithful<a href="http://biblehub.com/niv/psalms/16.htm#footnotes" title="Or holy">b</a> one see decay.
You make known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
Psalm 16:7-11

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
