Farewell BYU!

I wanted to title this post with something super lame like, "Rise and Shout this Cougar is outta here," but that was WAY too lame, even for me so I just put in in the text of this post instead.

I'm done with my undergraduate career. The only thing left is for me to walk around in a weird-looking gown with hundreds of other people in order to be handed a fancy piece of paper that says I'm finished. Weird concept.

Looking back on my life as an undergrad student here at BYU has been nice, but I'm excited enough about my future that I am excited to move forward. I feel it is important to recognize some big events that have happened over the past 6 years. Twenty-five events or people to be specific.

25.

Freshman year my roommates and I put seasonal t-shirts on these ladies. It was so freshman-y.

24.

I was in BYU's Women's Chorus for 1 year. I got to be on TV.

23.

John Beck to Johnny Harline touchdown pass in the BYU-UTAH game. One of the best moments of my life.

22. I had my first boyfriend, Ben Pettit. It was fun. (Sorry, I don't have old boyfriend pictures).

21.

My roommates and our friends filled the front of my car with popcorn. It was the funniest prank I've ever heard of. Luckily the popcorn wasn't buttered!

20.

I met these two lovely ladies. Carolyn (Jackson) Hirz and Deidra (Kofoed) Law. We had an awesome time being roommates, and we're still friends.

19.

Cinco de Mustache party. One of the coolest parties I threw during my college career.
