Jake and the gang discover an old Benedictine “challenge” and expect some kind of campus scavenger hunt.
Instead, the challenge is remarkably simple:
Go to Mass. Read something worth reading. Serve someone. Get outside. Make a new friend. Find a quiet place and think.
No leaderboard. No achievement badge. No app telling you that you’ve completed Level 4.
Just a challenge that asks a slightly inconvenient question:
What if college is supposed to change you?
Today’s ROOK takes a playful look at an idea that may be more radical than it sounds.
ROOK is a daily original college newspaper comic about friendship, faith, growing up, and the strange, funny, meaningful experience of being young.
A new ROOK appears every day at noon CST.
