Memories...

So, I'm half way through my last semester of my undergraduate life. I went for a walk around campus the other night and started thinking about all of the amazing memories I've made at Huntingdon. Just about everywhere I went, I had a story for. So, I thought I might share a few of them.

My freshman year, I spent the first couple weeks crying because I was alone, I didn't know anyone, and I didn't know what to do about it. Then, in English 101 with Dr. Truman, I made my first friend, Jackie. We quickly discovered that we have a lot in common, so we were instantly friends. We registered for classes together, since we had the same major, we went through greek rush together, and now we live together!  

One of my favorite memories from my freshman year: the band I was in, Kelly Lane, was having a show and we wanted to creatively promote interest in the band and the show so we walked around campus, mostly Blount, and played music to whoever wanted to listen. It was a lot of fun for me to have the guys from the band on campus with my friends. Then, the show was pretty awesome, too. Someone put a one hundred dollar bill in the tip jar...that was pretty encouraging!

Sophomore year was consumed by Chi Omega! I absolutely loved it because it gave me an amazing group of friends. From recruitment and Big/Little week to new member classes and initiation, I had so much fun. This picture was taken at revelation night when we found out who our big sisters were. We had to dress up however our big wanted us to...as you can see, I was jelly. Sara, my big sister, had a jar of peanut butter.

Campus Ministries went on a retreat to the beach one year. I drove a part of the group in my mom's crown vic and we listened to Disney songs almost all the way there. We had corporate worship with other schools, we played basketball and uno, we got an SUV stuck in the sand...it was a blast. I really enjoyed that time of fellowship with everyone. I would love to do it again.

I was a part of the mission team to Panama in January of my sophomore year. Our team had VBS for local kids where we made crafts, heard stories from the Bible, and played games. We also did some work building cabins at the camp we stayed at. It was an incredible experience to share the love of Christ with the children in the community there. (there's a picture of Katie and I on the walkway next to the art gallery now :)

Last year, I was an RA along with Tim and Catie (and a bunch of others). This picture was taken on our way to Auburn for a fun filled day of training and classes for being an RA. I wish I had a picture from one of our building meetings with KY, Catie, Tiffany and me. They were always pretty fun...I don't even have many picture from my hall events, but I did have pretty bulletin boards!

This was a sign that I made for the bathroom in Ligon. My theme for first semester was Woodstock, so everything was about music and nature. I really liked it, i hope my girls did too! They all had door decs with their names on them in either the dove or the guitar from the Woodstock posters. I thought it was pretty cool. 

I think that's enough of my memories for now, I'll share more later. :)
