As I'm sure you already know, college is hard. It is finally time to learn how to do laundry, feed yourself, go to class, have a social life, and understand the concept of living on your own. Throughout all of that learning, your faith can stumble. It is possible to grow in your faith throughout college, you just have to put in the effort.

I have only been in college for a few weeks and I have already found it difficult to keep up with my faith. It is all too easy to sleep in on Sunday mornings and skip that evening Bible study. Don't! Going to a Christian University is such a privilege because I get the opportunity to meet some amazing like-minded people. My advice would be to get involved early. Whether you attend a Christian University or not, there will always be at least one religious group that you can become involved with. In my case, there just happens to be several, which has really kept me on track these last few weeks.

One of my favorite ways to grow in my faith is Bible study with my Phi Mu sisters. It is not only a great way to bond, but it gives you accountability in your walk with Christ. If your sorority doesn't have a Bible study, start your own! It's never too late to get a group of girls talking about God and their own personal experiences with their faith.

Speaking of girls, another fantastic opportunity that my campus has is Delight. This is an all-girls Bible study that happens with anybody on campus. I find this to be a fantastic opportunity to meet new friends and study the Bible together. We also have a YoungLife group that meets during the week as well. Many of us grew up with YL in high school and it is still very popular here in Fort Worth. So, as you can see, there is literally no excuse not to get involved. TCU has some incredible faith-based organizations and many other campuses do too!

Luckily, TCU is surrounded by several churches of all different denominations. There is a church for you here at TCU. If you are from another campus, I can almost guarantee that you can find a church if you look for one. I was able to find a church my first Sunday on campus and I ended up loving it! It was also only a few minutes walking distance from my dorm!

God is reaching out to all of us in many ways. In college, it is very easy to lose sight of Him, but it is just as easy to gain sight of Him. There are so many ways to get involved on every campus if you look hard enough for them. Are you going to run towards God throughout your college experience or shy away? That's for you to decide.
