But it's funny how quickly I can flow from one random group to another effortlessly, without feeling like I really fit in. I don't have a problem finding friends; it's finding the right friends that will need patience.
Regardless, I think it's here in the beginning stages of Cal life that my extroverted side shines.
But I've been realizing more and more the necessity of spending time alone. While putting myself out there to meet new people is exciting, being by myself is what keeps me sane. And most of all, it allows me time to be alone with God. To sit back, reflect on my day, and see the ways God has blessed me, challenged me, and loved me today. And my Cal life, although full of new friends, harder classes, and areas of exploration, must be centered around these times with God.
I need to remember that, as I take on this next stage of my life, I shouldn't fit time with God into my schedule, like it's an appointment or anything. Because then it gets burdensome...another thing to check off the list, something to be done with quickly so I can get to bed. Rather, I should make my schedule work around having time with God.
God, keep me in You.
