Making New Friends

The best part of college is making all sorts of new friends. In high school, I was rather shy and reserved and was perfectly content with just spending time with my best friend Anastasia and my boyfriend Chase. I was terrified at the anticipation of going to school, leaving my friends and family, and being completely alone in a new place. Yet I was so excited to think of all the experiences I would have, all the memories that I knew I would someday cherish. I came to Snow College a little over a year ago, and I have loved every minute of it. Some moments haven't been the best, but even more are the moments that I can't quite express into words. I love making new friends! I have had the time of my life at school and am so excited to see what friendships I will discover in my future. So this post is dedicated to all my college friends who I love so much and who I never thought I would be able to grow close to. This one is for you, you make me smile :)

Phone Calls From My Big Sister

Sometimes we all have those days where all we want to do is cry. Does there always need to be a reason? I think we all have those days where you're sunshine and giggles one moment, and the next you just want to cry your heart out. Today was exactly one of those days for me, I was quite giddy throughout the day until about 7:00. After 7, I just needed to have a good cry. Luckily for me, I have a lovely older sister who I can call at any time. She always knows exactly what to say to make me feel better. I love my sister Sandra, she is the poster child for what a big sister should be. Phone calls from my big sister make me smile. :)
