I've been trying to get this post up for so long,
but I just never seem to find the time.
So here I go.
FINALLY.
Posting about my lovely little life here at BYU.
Moving in.
August 28th was one of the weirdest and most surreal days.
Leaving home (even if it was only thirty minutes away) was a big step with A LOT of stuff.
I didn't realize how much stuff it takes to move.
I mean, you need more than just clothes and shoes to move into a new place. What would I have done without my mom?
Saying goodbye to my family was definitely the hardest part of the day.
Again, they are only thirty minutes away, but the idea of it was still hard.
My dad carried the stuff from our cars, my mom helped me unpack, and my little brothers collected sticks from outside as a goodbye present.
Then with tight hugs, and reassuring words, my parents drove away.
After the initial shock of living on my own, I can honestly say I was okay.
I think my dad was more traumatized than I was.
He kept calling and asking if everything was okay.
He almost sounded surprised when it was. Like something had to be wrong, didn't it?
And kept referring to me as "College Girl."
I felt so much love and support from my parents during this whole moving out thing.
They are the best things that have ever happened to me, and I am so blessed to have them. ♥
My roommates.
Call me vain, naïve, or just selfish, but I was so afraid of getting roommates who I wouldn't get along with.
It was probably one of my biggest worries about college.
Lucky for me, I got THE BEST roommates around.
This is not an exaggeration.
The first few days that we moved in and got to know each other, we instantly clicked.
We were all instant friends, and we have so much fun together.
I have not gone to be earlier than midnight since I've been here.
But the thing is, we have so much fun talking and hanging out that we don't want to go to bed.
Oh the struggle.
I couldn't be more grateful for the beautiful girls who have become my family here in Provo. ♥
My classes.
I'm taking..
Biology,
Sociology,
Writing 150,
Mission Prep.,
Book of Mormon,
and Voice.
The work load isn't too bad, yet.
My professors are all very different, but I'm learning a lot from them.
I think it's going to be a good semester.
Our ward is awesome, our FHE group is fun, and our neighbors are the best.
My job at the MTC keeps me busy and happy while serving food to the missionaries.
Serving young men and young women who are truly disciples of Christ is one of the best feelings.
I really don't have any complaints other than the fact that our fridge broke last week, and we had to throw a lot of our food out.
So that's cool.
I feel so blessed to be at this prestigious university where it's normal to listen to Elder Holland for a Sociology lesson.
Or start a Biology class with a hymn.
Or have a hundred girls to thirty boys in a ward.
^^^Maybe not so much on that one.
Well, time to do more homework.
More to come later.
But here's this darling picture to leave you with.
The cutest roommates.
Hope you've found the laughter and the happiness in your day today.
