College is a new experience for everyone. When you first step foot on campus you are starting an adventure like no other, but so are your parents, your siblings, your close friends, and familiar faces from back home. You are opening the door to a world of change. The people who have been there for you your whole life are also opening that same door of change, but it leads to a world in which you are no longer just a hollar away.

At 8:30 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 16, I showed up at the spiritual life office with a coffee in my hand and bags under my eyes to participate in ÄÛ²ÝÊÓÆµ Fox’s MLK Serve Day. If I’m being completely honest, part of me regretted signing up for the event in the first place. I value my sleep, and I hadn’t gotten much of it the night before. All I really wanted to do was climb back into my warm bed and cherish the quiet for a few more hours.

So you’re in this new place surrounded by new people and new adventures. One of those adventures is learning how to live with a roommate! While this is an exciting time, it may be a little intimidating, especially if you’ve never had to share a room with someone. If that’s you, take heart: It is going to be completely fine.

As our community is returning from Spring Break and looking to finish the semester this next month, we will be entering into the celebration of Easter through our Spiritual Life programming. The celebration of Easter is an essential practice for followers of Jesus, but I think sometimes we overlook the invitation to enter into the struggles Jesus experienced the week before his crucifixion, called Holy Week.
