3 Life Lessons I Learned This Summer
To be honest, this summer wasn’t easy for me. It was a rollercoaster of anxiety, happiness, fear, discouragement, excitement, frustration, eagerness, and doubt. But I’m still here. I survived the summer of 2018. And I learned a few life-changing lessons along the way.
The 5 Greatest Fears of Future College Students (Part 2)
Last week, we discussed three of the greatest fears of future college students. But most incoming college students have more than three major fears about college, so I’m going to discuss two more today.
The 5 Greatest Fears of Future College Students (Part 1)
I had lots of fears about college, but if I wrote about all of them, this post would be way too long! I think that we should focus on the top five fears that future college students have.

And I’m just not ready to go back there.
Stretched to the Savior
What will I do when I’m forced to be with people constantly? What will happen when I’m only able to see my family once a month for very short periods of time? What will be my fate as an introverted freshman who's terrified of making new friends? What if I can't "do" college?
Tattoos and Tongue Piercings

Woes of the Weak Worry Warrior
A new year is here, and exciting new things are ahead. Well, maybe for you. But all I can see is the unchartered territory that lies ahead, which makes me nervous. In fact, I am terrified. I am terrified of the big, bold, scary future in front of me. I have no idea what’s coming my way.
