liberty
So here I am. An incredibly beautiful place with opportunities I feel I don't even deserve.
I will admit that today I was a little sad. I woke up and my roommate wasn't there. She went home with a friend for the weekend. My dad ended up calling me (all the way from Honduras) and I skyped with my best friend, Fred. Around 2pm Fred prompted me to get out of bed and get a move on with my day. I got ready and went to the dining hall and then came back to my dorm and changed shoes. I then went to the LU Blockparty and met up with some friends who came down from Charlottesville to visit me! Also to see Need To Breathe. As soon as Need To Breathe started their first song, it started to downpour. It was great. I took off my shoes and danced and sang and lost my phone, wallet, and bag, but then a nice person returned it all! The night ended with pizza & cookout & laughter & sweet "see ya later"'s to friends.
So even if your day starts out a little sad and lonely...remember, there are people out there who love you and an even greater God who cares :)

College 101
So I'm here. I made it. I am currently sitting in the room my hall has deemed "the family room". There are bursts of giggles and lots of socks and slides. I have made it through my first week of college! Okay so I'm gonna admit that I went home for the afternoon on Wednesday, but then came right back and went to Spiritual Emphasis Week. I also went on Thursday. I literally bawled both nights. When I came home I was a little sad, not because I left, but because I felt like one of my friends had really just stabbed me in the back and I thought I was over that stage. I came to the realization that I probably won't ever have people not want to stab me in the back. Does that make sense? But that's okay because Jesus will never fail me! So here's a selfie to remember this great week and here's to a promising weekend full of more giggles and music and food and fun. (Actually it's already started with my dorm's scavenger hunt!:)
(awkward on purpose, I promise)
