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.
The 5 Greatest Fears of Future College Students (Part 1)
Longing for Heaven’s Maker
I didn’t care about worshiping God on His throne. I didn’t care about spending every moment with my Savior. I didn’t even care about reveling in the beauty of Heaven’s golden streets and breathtaking splendor. I just wanted to be forever free from my pain and find eternal rest for my heart.
What to Remember When Exciting Events Are Plagued with Problems
We expect our issues and struggles to disappear for exciting events and occasions. We think that we can whisk the pain out of our minds to focus on these special occurrences. Or perhaps we have come to realize that our expectations will usually fail us.

As frustrating as sleeplessness may be, we can learn to be content in it for one reason alone: God is with us through it. Whether we're awake or asleep, He still loves us and desires our obedience. He is protecting us. He is holding us. He is shaping us. Even in sleeplessness. This poem is for the insomniacs, the tired, and the weary.

5 Life Lessons We Can Learn from Frozen
When I first saw the commercial for Frozen over two years ago, I was immediately turned off by it. I thought that it'd be a cheesy movie about a wintry land that was home to an annoying snowman. But I was very wrong. This movie has the most insightful elements of any Disney animated movie I've ever seen. Through watching it many times, I’ve identified five major principles that Frozen teaches us about life.
3 Ways to Make the Most of Wearying Situations
With only a few weeks left until the end of the semester, I’m unable to contain my excitement. I’ve been awaiting the end for so long! I can’t stop thinking about summer plans and a homework-free life. (What even is that?) But first, I have to survive the rest of the semester—and thrive, if possible—because there are several papers, projects, presentations, and exams in my near future.
