Student Blog - My Friends Are My Power!


Howdy! Dominic Burke here, bringing you the hardest hitting news story yet!

Just kidding.

Seriously though. Man. This week has been CRAZY. Tests have begun, and I was so busy practicing music and getting myself super pumped up for Crunchtime this past weekend (which was SO COOL) that I definitely forgot to plan as far ahead as I normally do for exams. Don’t get me wrong, I procrastinate, but usually I’m better at spacing out my stress. Physics and Organic Chemistry homework, plus tests in both (man oh man circuitry is weird), Statistics homework, Health notes, Lab reports… Of course, this is on top of resolving drama between my friends, trying to figure out where in the WORLD I’m going with my life, and my future, and—

Okay, hold up.

Yes, life is stressful. Yes, life is crazy. Yes, time can seem to just slip on by without you even noticing until oh that's what the sunrise looks like. But look at my week again. I spent the weekend with a group of amazing individuals praising God with music and teaching youngsters (because I’m so beyond high school. Psh. Yeah.) to keep the faith in college. I’ve got study partners, especially in my laboratory periods, that have seriously been stellar. My friends, Wesley members and otherwise, have been building me up, calming me down, and keeping me going. I have people around me that care, that are here for me in my times of trouble, just as I'm ready to help them (even if they drive me crazy).

“A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.” Proverbs 17:17

God has brought some amazing, wondrous, astounding (one could even say fantastic) people into my life. Today, this week, and all the time, take a moment to appreciate those people that make life what it is: beautiful.
