What I Learned My First Year of College...

My first year of college has been over for a couple weeks now so I thought I'd share with you the things I learned:

You will miss home

But you'll love not having a bedtime

Until you're so exhausted you give yourself one

7:30am college classes are not the same as 8:00am high school ones

But if it's a PE class it's totally worth it

I am exactly the right height to get elbowed in the face while playing basketball with boys

If you use garlic in your cooking and more than three ingredients, your roommates will think you are a master chef

Read the textbook

No seriously, you have to read the textbook

Breadth classes are not a waste of time

Unless it's Creative Arts in which case it's a TOTAL waste of time

You will make new friends

Lose some old ones

And figure out who's there to stay

If you're in Logan, it will snow

In May

The Bookstore is the biggest scam I've ever seen

But you'll buy stuff from there anyway

You will go on some grand adventures

And some not so grand ones

Roommates are simultaneously terrible, wonderful, and hilarious

You will call home for advice

Moving sucks

Even if it's just from apartment to apartment

 Tapatio goes with everything

You will make some of the biggest decisions of your life

And it will be an awesome ride.

A whole new world,

Summer!

Guess what?? I finished my first year of college! I'm not going to say it was the easiest or funnest thing ever, but I did it.

Also, I'm a Junior now. So only four semesters left.

Which is pretty neat.

And now it's summer!

But I'll be taking classes for most of the summer... 

Which is not as neat.

But I will NEVER have to live in Moen Hall again.

Which is pretty fantastic.

Up the Canyon

Lately, we've been going up the canyon on adventures. Spring has kinda sorta sprung here in Logan (when it's not snowing) and we're taking advantage of it. This post is going to be about everything that these trips have made me think about so it's going to be kind of scatter-brained. 

But when am I not? :) 

I'm so glad I found these two. 

Even though they're weird. I love them. They're my kind of weird. 

Look at the deer!

I love rivers. I can't tell you have many hours I've spent on the river with my dad. He started taking me fishing when I was teeny tiny. Some of my first memories are of fishing, and I love them.

And I out-fished my dad when I was two. That's a fact. ;) 

Rivers feel like home to me. Maybe that's the inner hermit coming out, but they do. 

I got that from my dad. :) 

Just around the river bend

P.S. I've even got back into running. Keni and I ran walked a river trail for about 7 miles. It was pretty grand. Hah.

I don't really do the "ease into it" thing...
