graduation

Why haven't I posted in 2 months?

I have so many reasons.

The only one I'm posting on the internet is that I was busy getting a bachelor's degree.

That's done now.

And I should be receiving my diploma in the mail any day.

Graduating from Southern Utah University was so bittersweet.

I love that school.

Luckily I got to sit by my two best friends at graduation.

 And my parents came down to show me some love.

I honestly could not have asked for better parents.

They're the best.

 It's been a long 4 years. I've changed in so many ways.

And not many people have been there to see the transformation.

But this girl has.

Kristi, you have been by my side through the best and worst of times.

Am I being too cheesy? Good.

SUU would not be the same without your pretty face in my life everyday.

 Thanks to Kristi, I met like a million other amazing people.

Loryn being one of the best. 

I love you. So happy I lived with you. Your friendship has taught me so much.

I'm so happy to have you in my life as a best friend.

 Now my dear friend Staci didn't graduate with me, but I want to give her a shout out as well.

She was a part of bike club.

We lived together, we adventured together.

She was a part of graduation in my heart.

Here we are, a house full of friends.

What a blessing to live in the best house ever this year, in the best ward ever.

The cherry on top of a beautiful college experience if you ask me.

Not only did I have amazing friends & roommates to celebrate graduation with, but teachers as well.

They love me. Seriously, they do.

I got hugs as I went through the graduation line.

What would my education be without the fabulous teachers of the psychology department?

They've seen me learning, smiling, crying, sassing, and more.

Here is one of my favorite teachers.

Plus my roommate/bestfriend/coworker/fellowpsychologystudent Hilary.

She has been SUCH a huge part of my life, it was only appropriate that I walked next to her at graduation.

 On day 2 of graduation it was just the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.

We lined up according to department and it was perfect.

No other department loves each other like the psychology students.

We've got real friendships going on.

Our lives changed together.

This is my friend Gwen who led the way. Also, she was the SUU Valedictorian.

What a doll.

 Here I am, with my official diploma.
And my official best friend, Laura.

Best. Feeling. Ever.

High School Graduation had nothing on this.

 Southern Utah University

Class of 2012
