The Penitent Soldier
By: Armando Covarrubias, Staff Writer/ Cartoonist
Forgive me Lord for I have sinned. I have strayed from your light and now I am broken. As I lay on my knees upon your house. As the fear of what is yet to come, an inquisitor, dressed in garbs of red, black, and white with golden embellishments, carries the book in one hand, and the cone on the other.

It gets easier when you feel less alone when you have a friend to eat dinner with or even just someone in your class you can study with. Freshman year is hard for everyone, but it gets easier once you have something to look forward to, even if it’s something as silly as watching a movie on the quad. . .
