This past weekend my family came up and visited me down in the dirty T! The past few weeks have been really rough, not necessarily with school but other things, so mom and dad booked a hotel room and came up! They thought they would come down to cheer me up!! Don't get me wrong college life is amazing however I do miss my family. My mom honestly is one of my best friends and my little sister is my pride and joy! She's a mini me! I miss hanging out with them, and laughing. We all have such different personalities but we are all hysterical. There's only been one nite in college so far where my stomach had hurt because I was laughing so hard. Even though it was only for 2 days, it was refreshing. I got to catch up with all the families gossip, Sadie's "relationships", Dawson's potential crush, what's new in the grandparents lives, mom and dads exciting news, Thanksgiving plans, Christmas Vacation Plans(I'm beyonddd exciteddd!!) It was short but very sweet! Only a few weeks until family weekend!
Its hard moving away, not having all my friends and family as my support system. But I have made so many amazing friends already, ever day I see a new familiar face! It just takes time to build those long lasting friendships, but don't worry I have experience in that. I didn't have strong friendships in England until a year of living there. I've done it once I can do it again!!!
Monday nite, was my 1st event in Hall Council. I was on a team that worked together to make this event happen. It was called PSP (Popcorn, S'mores, Pizza) @ PSP (Posada San Pedro)!! Including a movie nite, we watched 21 Jump Street! It was so amazing, seeing different people in the dorm come out to this one event. There was probably 80-100 students who stopped by or stayed for the whole event! All of Hall council members were very pleased with it!!!
Friday Nite Lights! Went to the U of A vs. Utah, we fought so hard but a couple of fumbles and bad passes cost us the game! Don't have any pics of the game, but it was a blast! I meat a few new friends and really excited to see where those friendships go!
Some pics from the rest of the week!
The pictures below are with some of my friends: Bri and Sarah! Its only been 5 weeks of us getting to know each other and we have already been through soooooo much, its unbelievable! Each one of us have felt sad, happy, confused, vulnerable, and scared with each of our struggles but we all have got through them (or working on it). I honestly am so thankful for these girls! We have had so many laughs and many cries. But I'm so excited to see where these next 4 years go! We are all pre-business students so can always have study dates, dance parties, classes, movie nites, and many dinner dates! I honestly love you girlies! Thank you for everything!
Scattered update but its an update! Each day is a new day and I'm just pressing forward! Love you and miss you all!!

Sounds like the visit was just what you needed! My guess is they would say the same thing. It's been amazing watching you get acclimated. I know it has been rough but you said it when you said you've done it before in England. You have thrived when you could have struggled. Very proud of you!
ReplyDeleteLove your pics. You are such a beautiful person, inside and out.
We love you and are proud of you!
