These Little Moments: A Letter to the High School Graduate
To the High School Graduate, I know it feels like it’s taking forever to leave school, and that you can’t get out fast enough. But slow down a minute, I promise it will be worth it. Maybe you’re excited to leave; to embark on new adventures such as college, a new job, or independence from your parents. Or maybe you’re more like me, leaning on the side of terrified because you have no idea what to expect. You see, this is the pattern of life that never ends. We expect, hope, and dream. We fear and are lost as to what the future holds. You might not get into that…

The Single Life~Day 3 of The 30 Day Blog Challenge
Hello lovely readers and followers! Welcome back to Day 3 of the 30 Day Blog Challenge. Today’s Topic: Describe Being Single Well, I’ve already written a guest post on being a single Christian lady, but I didn’t really share my personal experience. I guess that’s because writing about love and relationships is a very personal and sensitive topic to approach. I’ve dated before. I had a couple of relationships in high school that ended badly, and one at the beginning of college that wasn’t what God wanted for me. Right now I am single, and I would say that I am pretty content–most of the time. There are definitely moments I…

I pray that you can be inspired and encouraged, and that this story inspires you to live boldly for Christ. Dear God, Remember what I wrote in my diary five…

How I'm Surviving Midterms (As Told by Memes)
What have I been up to this week? Yup. This is going to be a post that’s filled to the brim with memes about midterms. I’m sure all of you other college students (or graduates) can sympathize with me here. So how am I doing? Well, to be honest sometimes I really don’t feel like I know what I’m doing (economics I’m looking at you). It’s helpful that I am able to use notes on half of my exams though! Seriously though…four?? But I know God is with me giving me strength! We can do this everyone! I find prayer and caffeine to be the most effective techniques for studying.…

How to Study (When It's the Last Thing You Want to Do)
A new semester has crept up on all of us college students, and the smell of overpriced text-books and coffee are in the air. This is my second year as a full-time student, and let me tell you, I’ve learned a few things about how to succeed (and fail) when it comes to studying and getting work done. One of my New Year’s resolutions is to study smarter (notice how I didn’t say harder) and to not cram for my exams. Although I’ve been doing pretty well with my weekend cramming and all-nighters, the stress and anxiety that comes with this is enough to make me want to change my ways. So…
