Never did I know

Never did I know that these four years of college would come to a close. Starting my Freshman year, graduation sure felt like an eternity away. Which, at times that is exactly how it felt. But today I can assure you that the time flew by.

Never did I know that I would be graduating college with a mission call. I had thought about serving a mission, but I figured if I did I would have left midway through school and return back to school after. But I have to say it is very relieving to know that I am all done and don't have to worry about that when I get home!

Never did I know the challenges I would go through during college. Juggling school and work, changing my major, figuring out my future (which is still yet to be determined), dating, hard classes, time consuming callings, and losing one of my best friends.

Never did I know the people that I would meet and the friends I would make. I have met so many incredible people in provo that have quite honestly changed my life. I've made so many great friends that have been so supportive and fun over the past four years. I don't know how I would have survived without them all. Granted, there were times when I felt alone. But looking back there was always SOMEONE there. One door would close and another would open.

Never did I know that I would meet my best friends here. Honestly when I was deciding where to go to school, my number one (and probably ONLY) problem I had with BYU was that I would come by myself. All of my friends were going to Utah State. In fact, half of my high school was going to Utah State. I had two friends going to UVU so they were close, but that is it. My dad would constantly tell me that he always heard people say your roommates will become your best friends, you will find them in college. I was a skeptic. I already HAD my best friends. Well folks, it is true. I found my best friends here in Provo. I honestly cannot thank my Heavenly Father enough. He knew exactly what I would need during my four years. I am grateful to know that these will be lifelong friendships!

Never did I know that I would work at Target for 3 years and have the greatest coworkers. I loved my time in the pharmacy. I learned and grew so much from my time spent there and met the greatest people. I had my favorite patients also who I will truly miss. I wouldn't change my time there for anything.

Never did I know that I would move back home after graduation. I am a very independent person and like doing my own thing. I was always busy with school and working during the summers so I have been out of the house since I left it four years ago. I didn't think I would ever be ready to move back home, but I am ready. It's the greatest feeling to be surrounded by my family every day. I'm so glad I get to spend the next 2 months with them before I leave.

Peace out BYU. Love ya.
