As a freshman moving from another country, it was easy to feel overwhelmed at the beginning of the semester, being caught up in adapting to a completely different environment. The Catholic life on campus has helped bring me back to what really matters. Especially going to daily Mass and having the commitment of going to adoration every week has allowed me to ground myself in God. It is fantastic to be able to slow down during the day to go to daily Mass and have the chance to take part in the Eucharistic mystery. This has been crucial to bringing me closer to Christ and not letting me drift away from him during the craziness of freshman year.
