What's one obstacle you've faced in the past week? How did you handle it?

One obstacle I faced in the past week was just emotional strain. When my friend left, I found myself getting impatient and easily frustrated at things that probably should not have bothered me. I think it was just a lot to process--getting to have such a big blessing and then having it be taken away. Last night, I also had a really tough conversation where one of my peers (I wouldn't exactly call him a friend, yet) bascially told me about how lonely and homesick he is on campus, that he would just cry every day for the first few weeks of school, that he hates it on campus and doesn't leave his room if possible, etc. My heart just hurt for him and I wish I knew what I could do to make it better. How I overcame this was by trying to encourage him and tell him how much I respected all the work he is doing on campus.
