Throughout life, especially in college, you will experience stress and overwhelmingness. From classes, to homework/studying, work, internships, being active on campus, and trying to keep a social life, a student’s schedule can be hectic. All of the hours put into bettering your life can really take a toll on your mental and physical health. When I’m feeling really low and lost, I know that I need to find time to worship my Lord.
