My New Found Relationship With God
Michael Cummings

Within these last few weeks, I have been struggling to find myself. Struggling to find who I am meant to be in this world. I have felt like I am torn between chasing my dreams and focusing on myself and not doing anything else. I feel lost but found all at the same time.

Throughout all of this, I have begun to focus on my relationship with God. Prayers and scriptures have become a part of my daily routine and they are really helping me find peace. Even when I do not have time to sit and read before bed, I find myself scrolling through Pinterest when I’m at lunch or dinner finding quotes from the Bible that relate to my mood of the day. Quotes that are teaching me something new and bringing me closer to God.

I can honestly say that I never thought this long and this hard about my spirituality and my faith. Yes, I thought I knew who I was and who I was meant to be, but life is never that simple. There are always going to be moments when you question everything you do, every thought you have, but in the end, God will be there, holding your hand and guiding you down your life path.

I have a lot of family to thank for this. If it was not for them, I do not think that I would be where I am. For the longest time, I told my mom that I would do this whole religion thing on my own time, and now I have, and I now wish that I had listened to her and built up my relationship with him sooner.

No, I still do not know who I am meant to be, yes I am going to continue to try and find myself. But, in the end, I know that God will only lead me to what is really meant to be. I will walk with him and journey on to whatever he brings.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
