What does it look like to carry your faith with you when the routines and people you’ve always relied on are no longer right down the hall? Annabel Baker, a chemical engineering student at the University of Alabama, shares what she learned navigating college, from finding Christian community to working through loneliness and growing in her relationship with God. She explains why building habits like prayer and Bible reading before college matters, especially when your schedule becomes less structured and there are more opportunities competing for your time. Annabel also shares how mentors, small groups, and a gratitude journal have helped her grow in her faith and recognize God’s presence in everyday moments. Her advice for seniors: start building those habits now, be intentional about finding community, and remember that you can make plans while trusting God to direct your steps.
