I'm Trying To Find My Faith Again, But Lord Knows It's Hard

I don't know what to do.

Since the beginning of this school year, I have been doing a lot of things with myself. I am learning how to love who I am (refer to two articles back when I talked about BTS' latest album and loving myself), I have an amazing group of friends that support me as I do with them, and I am in a variety of activities and groups on campus that have changed my life for the better.

But there is one thing on my mind that has been a bit of a struggle.

I want to find my faith again.

I am a Catholic, I have been baptized and confirmed, and I know the idea of what God is and his plan. But I have not been the most religious person (I don't go to church every Sunday. The last time I went to church was back in May but it was for my cousin's first communion). As the year goes on, I feel like I want to go back to finding God. I know that he has a plan for me and that there is more than he has for me, but I feel like I can't find it right now.

With all of the stuff with school, I want to be able to find time to find this. But I don't know what to do or where to even start. So for now, I will just keep looking around.

I hope to find it soon.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
