I will be graduating in a less than two weeks and have been reflecting on the past few years in school. I have been at the U since I was 19 so being here and in school is pretty much my entire adult life. I have had many fun adventures. Here are a few of the highlights!
- Had my first full time job (University of Utah athletic dept.)
- Lived with Cammie and Christian. I must add this was during her pregnancy with Cali. I shall never look at salt water taffy the same.
- Jayna and Mikey got hitched
- Was with my sweet niece Cali hours after she was born
- Learned how to live in the big city and even ride trax (yikes)
-Lived in the dorms with two crazy and fun roommates
- Learned that if you sleep on your notes the night before an exam you will get an A! I know this sounds crazy but it works.
- Worked in the University of Utah Registrars Office (that job is a whole other post in itself)
- Changed majors (political science to speech communication)
- Bought my first car (thanks Dad, Mom and Christian)
- Wrote a missionary for 18 months (thank you Lord that one didn’t work out)
- Worked at the Costco food court and still consider it one of my favorite jobs. I have a love of pizza making and wish that it could be an actual degree.
- Sung in the University Institute choir
- Decided to go on a mission (luckily that one flopped)
- Met one of my lifelong friends Blair (he is a true friend, he even unclogged me and my roommates toilet for us and you can’t believe what is was clogged by) story forthcoming
-Lived in a house of 4 girls and 5 guys and it was a total blast.
- My best friend Mckette got married and had 2 kids in the time I have been in school! You go girl, or I have just been in college a very long time!
- Gained the freshmen 15
-Moved to Logan after vowing to myself never to leave Salt Lake
-Worked for an old man attorney in Logan
- Moved to Price after vowing to myself and many others never to move home! (I eat my words a lot)
-Worked as a victim advocate for the Carbon County Sheriff’s Office
- Did many online courses while living in Price
-Served as the relief society president (yeah I know, don’t laugh)
- Brandt was called, left and returned from his mission
- My baby boy Carter was born!
- Was a baby sitter for Cali, and then Cali and Carter
- “Earned” my first D ever! Ouch that one still hurts. I will have you know that despite this grade I am not a slacker and even with that damn D I am graduating with a 3.5
- Lost the freshman 20.
- Went on my first hunting trip (yes I cried)
-Have celebrated 2 wedding anniversaries
- Reunited, made out, dated, engaged and married the love of my life!
- Moved back to Salt Lake finally
- Currently living in an apartment that is sort of like a dorm (funny how things come full circle)
-Graduating with zero debt! (and you thought all those jobs were just for fun)
- Became a grown-up I think
- Helped Tyler get into pharmacy school
- Will graduate in a few short days and will probably whine about how much I miss it. I have loved being in college and can’t wait for the next adventure.
Please anyone out there feel free to add to the list if I have left anything exciting off!
