Even though I whined a ton about stupid stuff, and even though I probably didn't go on enough dates, and even though I didn't go camping or to Vegas, this year was great.

I made friends. Best friends.
I fell in love with things and learning and people and outside.
I lived away from my family quite successfully...shocker.
I don't think I gained 15 pounds?
I laughed at myself.
I cried myself to sleep.
I watched my friends open their mission calls.
I danced and sang.
I kept my room clean for like 3 weeks.

Things I will miss when I leave:
Sleepovers with Heather and Hollie
Walks with Abby
4th floor of the JFSB
The couch
My princess bed
Aluminum foil on my walls
Church
Dance parties
Knocks on the window

Do I really need to mention roommates and friends in the first list, or family and friends in the second? No. Don't hate me.

I love BYU. I love life. The future is bright.
