I’ve
made it through the first half of fall semester. So much has happened, and I don’t even know
where to begin. It’s been really hard, but I’m still loving
it. I feel like I’ve grown so much throughout
these past few months, but I know I still have so far to go. I’ve
had a lot of challenges, but as I’ve made it through them, I know I have come
out stronger. Classes have been hard,
but manageable. I’ve started a job, and it’s
been fun, but tiring. And my days are
so busy with school, work, and then when I have time- hanging out with
friends. I barely have time to write
anymore, thus why it’s been a while since I’ve posted. I
could tell you about the hard things about college, but I’m going to reflect on
a few of the fun things I’ve done recently.
During Homecoming week, there were
lots of activities throughout the week, and I went to True Blue Football with
my best friend Kylie. Basically it’s a huge
slip n’ slide down a hill filled with blue foam. Afterward, you were literally completely
blue. It was a ton of fun, especially
trying to get it off…
The first weekend in October, one of
my best friends’ Spencer from high school came to visit, and one thing led to
another, and my absolute best high school friends Preston, Spencer, Macey and I
all went to the theme park Lagoon. It
was THE BEST day I’ve had in a long time.
Riding roller coasters, laughing with my best friends, and just enjoying
the day not worrying about school for once, was such a relief.
Then this past weekend, my best friend Kourtney
came and visited from Arizona, and I spent the most amazing weekend with
her. On Friday, I got to be reunited
with Brynne, Erin, and Kourtney all together for the first time since middle
school. And on Saturday, after Kourtney
spent the night, Preston took us to City Creek mall in Salt Lake where we met
up with Macey and spent the day shopping.
I’m so lucky to have such amazing friends.
I’m so blessed to be at this university, and
there are stories to come.
