I practically told everyone that I would not be staying at Lander University after the first semester was over. I applied and was accepted to several other schools, talked to advisors, and really had my mind set on being out of here as soon as I could. But here I am, leaving Lander for the last time as a freshman, moving in with two of my best-friends this summer, and most of all continuing my education at Lander. 

One of the curve balls thrown at me this semester was getting a new, completely random roommate who I had never met, and if you know me you know that’s completely out of my comfort zone. But the Lord’s hand was undoubtedly in it when Hailey moved in. Hailey has taught me more about myself in the last several months than college could have in a year. She has grown to be someone so dear to me, and I know my life wouldn’t be as bright without her in it! 

The best way I can describe leaving this season of life behind is through the word bittersweet. This year did not go as I had planned for a number of reasons. But it was never my plan to begin with, it was the Lord’s. Looking back now I couldn’t see it any other way. There have been so many incredible people that have walked alongside me during this year and I am forever grateful for the advice, stories, and encouragement shared with me. 

Room 345 was a good one but I’m so excited to see what’s next! Freshman year💝
