When it comes to dealing with rejection and reassuring my worthiness, I cannot think of a better role model than Jesus. He was "despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief" (Mosiah 14:3). I know He has experienced our illnesses, our pain, loneliness, confusion, sadness and feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem.

We experience challenges, learn more and become better versions of ourselves. I also believe some relief from difficulty won't come until much later. However, in the middle of this whirlwind of world chaos, I felt maybe none of it would come until later.

Let me introduce a love triangle for our day: Learning Suite, Canvas and every student on BYU campus.Both platforms have their perks, both have their flaws and both have their die-hard fans (Canvas all the way). There's only one way to get out of this awkward mess: BYU needs to choose one site and go with it.

have seen someone express a political opinion on their Instagram story. Maybe it was a statistic about the overturn of Roe v Wade. Perhaps it was a shocking quote from a politician about gun control. Or it could have been a post about a Church leader's position on LGBTQ rights.

I didn't really know how strongly some Americans feel they are God's gift to humanity until I had attended a few of my American Heritage classes at BYU during my freshman year.
