I'm in college!

So, it's about time that I update this thing. My life is moving forward...FINALLY! I am in college! I have looked forward to this time in my life since I watched my sister Holly go and come home. I am enjoying the independent feeling that comes from moving out of your parents home. I have been in Rexburg, ID, for two weeks now going to school at BYU-Idaho. It's AMAZING up here! My first week was fun, but a little exhausting. BYU-I has a new student/Freshman orientation called Get Connected. It's a lot like a mini EFY. We did a lot of fun things and a lot of really awkward interesting things. The highlights were morning sides with President Clark, learning more about  my major, and hiking Mesa Falls. School started last Thursday. I'm still adjusting my high school trained mind to think like a college trained mind, but it's going well.

My roommates are amazing! I have been so blessed. I live in an apartment with 5 other girls and it's so fun. Sometimes it's hard to get anything done because there is always something fun going on. I am the youngest of all the 5 and I'm so grateful for their help and examples. My room roommate is named Miki Weston. She is from Iowa and served a mission in Seattle, Washington. We have a lot of fun distracting each other from our homework. In the back left room there is Alicia Warwood from Battle Mountain, Nevada. She also served a mission; to Alaska. We like to strategize silly ways to get boys to notice us amidst the thousands of other girls. Sharing her room there is Eliza Layton. What an amazing girl. Just called as our relief society president. We have had many spiritually uplifting talks the most. I love that in the morning the first thing I hear her say is a compliment to one of us. These girls are my work out buddies. No freshman fifteen for me. Now, in the back right room there is LeeAnn Riggs from Ohio. She is our drama queen. She's a sophomore studying Theater. I love it when she gets real dramatic. It makes me feel at home. Sharing her room is her cousin Jenna Cabe also from Ohio. Jenna kills me. She is so funny. Most of our nights consist of sitting in our living room talking and laughing at all the funny things Jenna says. I love my roommates!

I'm looking forward to the rest of the semester and becoming more comfortable with my new life here in Rexburg. As I get used to my new schedule hopefully there will be more updates coming.
