A Quote (For Dad)

I was talking to my parents tonight and my Dad suggested I should post an inspirational quote on my blog to help keep me motivated through these last few CRAZY weeks of school and to share with my three blog followers (thanks Brynn, Brytt and Mom). My guess is that he probably just wanted me to post. (since I've obviously been pretty inconsistent when it comes to blogging...) Either way, it's always a good thing.

Here's the quote I chose:

It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.-Ernest Hemingway

My interpretation: 

Happiness and success are really about focusing on the lessons learned in the process, not in the end result. This is something I'm working on remembering--to find joy in the journey.

Friendship : The Series

It's probably because I'm in denial, but I'm just getting around to realizing that in less than six weeks I'll be done with my senior year at SUU.

What does that mean?

It means I graduate.

What does that mean?

It means that my life and future plans have definitely worked out differently than I expected them to.

What does that mean?

It means I'm beginning a master's degree at SUU next year.

What does that mean?

ALL (okay, not all, but a lot) OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE LEAVING ME.

Argh.

I'll try to steer clear of the cheesy sentimental posts, (I make no promises, sometimes they just happen) and stick to telling you all simply, why I love my friends. Seeing as how my blogging has been very sparse lately, I would like to officially introduce FRIENDSHIP: The Series to help motivate me to share some fun (and often very random) memories//good times//funny moments I've had with my SUU friends.

Episode One : SPOTIFY & Friends

My friends understand when the others may be feeling stressed and send them inspirational songs through none other than Spotify. Sometimes they're really random, like sound effects or full album of the sound of rain, but that just adds to the fun. During the darkest of times (finals week), hilarious conversations using only song titles to express our feelings ensue.

Just to give you a taste, I'll let the following screenshots speak for themselves:

Yeah, we're weird. But there's some fun memories attached to these songs/conversations/study sessions.

Peace & Blessings, until next time.

SUUSA 2014-2015

What a crazy week of campaigning! So excited for the opportunity to serve as VP of Academics again. I kept telling my team all week that I wanted to take a million pictures for memories so yesterday we took A LOT! Hopefully I can put a few more up here when I get them off other people's cameras.

The Academic Senate. (Fantastic group!)

New Executive Council. (3 women this time around!)

The whole group with Pres. Wyatt
