A huge, or possibly the main, reason why my college experience has been as good as it has is because of this amazing RSO that I'm involved with: RUF. RUF is a Christian fellowship on campus that meets regularly with worship services, small groups, and social activities. 

Having a unique place to connect with my identity on a largely secular campus has been absolutely amazing. I'm able to connect deeper with my faith and share friendships with people who understand me, my morals, and why I do what I do.

To celebrate Christmas, since it falls during our winter break, RUF has an annual Christmas party. We make gingerbread houses, sing karaoke (shout out to Justin Bieber and his hit song "Mistletoe"), and eat good food.

This quarter was immensely stressful, so seeing all my friends one last time before break was incredible and definitely needed!
