Just because you’re in college doesn’t mean that your relationship with God has to go on hiatus. Maintaining regular devotional time can make sure that you keep your connection with God a priority. If you’re working and going to school, often the first thing that gets sacrificed is your devotional time. Make sure that you continue to prioritize your relationship with God despite competing demands on your time. It’s natural to lose focus every now and then, but recognizing it as quickly as possible will help you to regain a godly perspective. Try scheduling time for prayer and devotion just as you would for your studies. Often it's not the quantity of time but the quality of quiet time that matters.
Regularly attending a place of worship is another way to retain a godly point of view while in college. Howard Baker, a college professor quoted in "Hold on to Your Christian Values ... Even in College," encourages college students to be an active part of a faith community near their campus. Surrounding yourself by a community of like-minded individuals can help keep you keep the focus on God in your life.
Sometimes writing things down helps to solidify thoughts and intentions. Keeping a log of prayers, thoughts and daily events can help you to maintain your spirituality while in college. Writing about your spiritual struggles and challenges and relying on God to help you with them will help you to maintain a godly focus and perspective in college.
Developing on-campus friendships with like-minded people can also help you to maintain your spirituality and godly focus while in college. If you are tempted by all the extracurricular activities taking place around you, having a buddy, someone who shares your values, to talk to about your struggles is an effective way to keep focused on God in a secular environment. According to "Keeping the Faith on Campus," students "who struggle the most on secular campuses often make no connections" with fellow believers.
