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.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
