As a resident assistant at Boston College, Elizabeth McColloch ’21 gave support and advice to many students. She tapped the wisdom gained from those conversations and her own college experience and wrote a book for incoming and current college students titled Discover What Matters: Finding Meaning, Hope, and Love in a  Success-Driven College Culture. Her book’s message to college students, who may get caught up in the obsession with achievement, is to take time to embark on a purposeful college journey. McColloch says Discover What Matters invites readers to savor the beauty in the present and stop comparing oneself to others and curating an image. She encourages readers to discover meaning by infusing intention into their classes, everyday routines, and relationships. A California native, McColloch also has a Substack newsletter called Letters From Your RA.
