My last hours at Southern Utah University are coming to an end. What a year of discovery. With every passing day I swear some new life lesson unfolded. I kept pretty quiet and to my own goals this entire school year and even though I didn't have many loud, messy experiences I do not regret one moment or one choice. I have made a pretty great starting foundation during my first year of college for the person I am and the person I am becoming.
And now, it's time to write about the first roommates I ever had!
Ehrin- Ehrin was my reeeeal first roommate ever. In the Juniper dorms, of course. The first few days of school were an adjustment from my home life and to living with a stranger but things went well from the start. We talked about people from our towns, experiences we'd had, and things we are interested in. At night, whoever was the last to stop reading turned off the light. In the morning, whoever woke up first kept quiet while they got ready for class. We got along! It wasn't until getting kicked out of Juniper that we really became good friends though. As the year went on we both started going to Aerobics together and got really into it. We both have a love for fitness and nutrition..we could talk for hours about the subject. We have had lots of good talks. She taught me things about cooking and how to substitute healthy ingredients for almost anything. We also ran our first 5k together!! I'm going to miss her!! And I'm especially going to miss the chocolate chip pancakes.
Sarah- Sarah Bell. I don't know where to begin. I love this girl. Sarah is one of those people that NOBODY hates, or even dislikes. She is incredibly easy to get along with while at the same time being incredibly unique and entirely her own person. She is small, but her mind wouldn't show it. If I ever had a conflict I could go to her and she would be able to work through it with me. And if I ever needed a "pick-me-up" I could talk to her and she could make me smile! She knows how to have fun, she knows music, she knows style and she knows places. This girl knows about life.
Kamille- At the beginning of the year I only knew Kamille as "Sarah's friend", because although having gone to high school together for three years, we had never crossed paths! I got to know Kamille the best at the start of Fall semester when none of us really knew what was going on at SUU. Me, Sarah and Kamille would have talks in their dorm room or in the car driving around Cedar for who knows how long. The first thing I noticed about her was her creativity. She is a true artist (True of Sarah as well). She is also incredibly bubbly and good-spirited. She isn't afraid to cut off all her hair and change things up--probably my favorite thing about her. I learned a lot through the experiences we have had and talked about this year and I'm forever grateful!
Denise- Oh Denise. One of the funniest girls I have ever known. Her jokes ALWAYS make me laugh, no matter if they are the "It's because I'm Mexican" jokes or if she's singing loud and like a freak or if she's making the "I'm yo motha now" type jokes. She cracks me up. Denise was shy when I first met her, but who am I kidding I was shy too! Once we got to know each other I found out how much I love this girl. I can always talk to her, no matter how different our lives are. We understand each other. I am really going to miss her. Denise if you're reading this, remember to text me whenever you are in SLC. ;) YOLO
Kelsey- Kelsey is another person who makes me laugh with every word that comes out of her mouth. She is incredibly sarcastic and witty. She is also super smart and reads more books in a month than I do in a year. She is involved in several extracurricular activities and I am really not sure how she does it. Her keys are even bigger and louder than mine and her backpack is covered in pins. She has her own style and her own personality! I'm really going to miss her sassy remarks and her stories about life.
I love you girls. Thank you so much for this whole year!!
