The End of My Freshmen Year

So this past school year (even including the summer) has been a very eventful one! I started my first super serious relationship (with someone I never expected to be dating), made some great friends, and even went through some difficult times. Overall, though, this year was pretty dang great. This post is to those who have made my year awesome.

First off, I want to thank my boyfriend. You made my summer amazing. It was hard saying goodbye to you whenever you left after helping me move into my dorm. You have been my shoulder to cry on! I love you not only as my boyfriend but also my best friend. I have never dated someone as special and amazing as you and I hope we are together for a long time. I love you "Crusty Bunsss"!! xD

Secondly, my first friend at college, Ellen. You basically broke me out of my SUPER awkward shell. I'm still a little awkward but, not as much because of you! You introduced me to a great group of people that encourage me to pursue my faith and you make me want to become a better person!!!

Thirdly, to my closest friend I have made at college, Britney! I can't believe I won't see you for a long time! I miss you already. From our walks to class or the almost 2 hours we spend at Starbucks every Tuesday and Thursday, you have made my struggle and journey amazing!!

Lastly, I want to address my BEST FRIEND, Jessica. I miss you so much! It is amazing how long we can go without seeing each other but, the minute we see each other, nothing has changed. I am so glad I get to call you more than my best friend but, my sister. Your family is literally my second family and your nieces are my nieces too! We have fought and argues A LOT but that is what you do with someone you love and care about.

Thank you everyone who has made a lasting impact on my life for the last 9 or 10 months! Even if I did not put you in this post directly, I still love you. Thank you everyone!!

XOXO
