HOME!

April 22, 2012
I feel so behind, but it's definitely been quite the adjustment coming home. Part of me already misses living in my Provo bubble and being on my own, but I know that it will be a great summer and very relaxing to not have to worry about school!

Things I've been told since coming home:
-Mary, we have rules
-We still have school so you can't be too loud or go to bed too late
-You need to clean up your room and put your suitcases away
-How come you don't get in trouble for anything?

Yes, it's been an adventure, that's for sure. It really does feel nice to be back in the 253. There's been beautiful weather and I've already done some fun things!

I went to a tennis match, a soccer game, Broadway Revue rehearsal (learned some legit African for The Circle of Life), saw the The Lucky One (Zac Efron is definitely my celebrity crush!), and went to my home ward only to get recruited to play the piano as soon as I walked in the door haha! I've already eaten way too much ice cream, checked out some job options, and tried to catch up on some sleep!!!

I can't believe I'm officially done with my freshman year of college. It went by WAY too fast but I loved every minute of it! I've lived in Utah for the past 10 months and seriously so much has happened! Here are a few highlights:
Stadium of Fire

my wonderful friends and roommates

The Rascal Flatts Concert

Football Games!

FUN DATES

12:01 Parties

Lots of Missionary Goodbyes

Tons of ward activities, and an abundance of new friends :)

It was definitely a year I will never forget and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to be at BYU. It's an amazing place and this year, I have definitely become a new girl. I learned so much about myself, I grew closer to my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, I learned about history, and science, and other secular subjects. I learned how to live with people who might be different than you, I learned how to do what matters most, to prioritize your time, I learned how to communicate, and I made friendships that will last a lifetime, in addition to maintaining old friendships. I would say it was quite the success and I can't wait to go back next year! It may not always be easy, but I know it will always be worth it! 

So here's to the summer and living it up! Working, enjoying the weather, getting tan, hanging out with friends and family, and reading lots and lots of books.
