freshman year at BYU :)

I can't believe that this year is OVER! It truly FLEW by and I loved it. I have learned a TON up here at BYU and I am so grateful for all the many lessons! Here are some of the things I learned:

"Freshman 15" is real haha. I had NO clue how to study and my grades definitely reflected that! Rejection is tough and I am not always going to get what I want when I want it.I am blessed in ways I didn't even realize. It takes time to feel comfortable in a whole new situation and I have to have patience. I am not as disciplined as I thought. Arizona is so much better than Utah!! When I feel like no one is there, I know Heavenly Father is and all I need to do is talk to him. "You miss one hundred percent of thew shots you don't take" is SO TRUE! Time moves fast and Life is so so amazing!
I am going to miss all of these people so much this summer! Instead of being sad about saying goodbye, I am going to follow the advise I heard from one of the members of our bYU stake presidency and "smile that it happened. Smile that you were here and let the memories of this place show on your face."
Here are some pictures of my favorite memories here at B to the Y to the U:

I love these two girls so much!!! Also love fires!
Sarah, my roommate is just the BEST!
Olivia and Sarah... When I turned 19 :)
Some more of my favorite girls! SO MUCH FUN WITH THEM!We are in the BYU 20th ward together.

This is Brooke, she and I coached together. She once coached the BYU women's Volleyball team and took them to eighth in the nation. She is amazing.
