Vocation

I sat in Marsh this past Monday night and amongst, exams, clubs, and sleep deprived undergrads (like myself) I found the opportunity to enjoy these 2 hours I had with my Marsh family. The six of us laughed over dinner and made group messages, changed our blog design and simply, I was happy. I enjoyed every minute of it. I realized how important fellowship is again, and more importantly friendship. These early weeks of the school year I’ve been looking for a family. I have tons of friends here at BU, and a few that I consider my extended family. however, I haven’t found a group of people that I can be myself around constantly. I haven’t found people that keep me grounded. Monday night, I begin to think that I had found that here at Marsh. Monday reminded me of the amazing people I intern here with at Marsh. I must admit I’ve taken them from granted. I’ve taken for granted the permanent fixture that Marsh has been thus far in my college career. I’ve taken for granted how easy it is to feel warmth when I’m around my Marsh team, and how I see our friendship growing even stronger.

For the first time in a long time, I was homesick. I missed the little things like my mom’s spaghetti. But, I realized missed that same feeling I had Monday night. When you find your people hold on tight to them. Sadly, we live in a world where injustice takes the lives of hundreds of people every week. I must admit, these past few weeks, that reality has kept me down in combination with tons of other stuff. Cherish every moment with your people when you find them, especially the beginning uncomfortable stages of getting to know each other. The people you surround yourself with are a reflection of you. I’m starting to enjoy the reflection I’m seeing.
