Wrapping it up.

In less than a week, I will officially be an alumna of Mount St. Mary's University.

How?!

How did four years go so fast? How does it feel like I missed most of it? How am I old enough to be a college graduate (basically)? How?

It's all bittersweet, but when I look back at the last three years, I can see the growth and transformation in myself. This next week is going to be very emotional and nostalgic, and so I'd like to make you feel my sadness ('cause I'm the worst.)

book in the library. Freshmen tho.

My roommates and I went all out in decorating our
door for Christmas. 

Our Fresham RA did St. Nicholas day for us :)

Molly, Emily, and I all dolled up for the Christmas dance.

For our last day in Florida for SEEK 2013, we went to
Magic Kingdom :)

We all gathered in the lounge to watch Justin
Timberlake's return to SNL!

Rosalyn and I went to the NBC Store during a
school-sponsored trip to New York. We face-
swapped with Liz Lemon and Jack Doneghy
from "30 Rock". Legendary.

Hoedown" every year

My best friend Steph and I a few days before she graduated.

The day before graduation, Tea, Steph, and I all went to Big Slide
for the first time.

The night before Steph graduated, we all hung
out in her room and it was just a great night.

These are snapshots of my journey of my first three years of college. I couldn't be more grateful for the years I've spent at the Mount, the memories and friends I've made, and the love, faith, and hope I've found.

I'll be doing a separate wrap up of senior year at the end of the week ... stay tuned!!!
