Did you say COLLEGE?!? :)

College. I have now been living in Logan for three weeks.... I can't believe that it has already been that long since I have been in Orderville! So crazy.

But anyway, the college life is going VERY well. I love it so much! Seriously, if the next 8 months are like this, it is going to be an absolute PARTY! Since I have been here, I have probably done more partying than studying.... but, its college! You have to leave some room for partying, right? :)

Last week, Tara and Kenzi came up to visit Addie and I. On Friday night, they all came up for the 80s dance here at USU. And it was quite the dance! So much different than a high school dance, that is for dang sure!!! I had tons of fun!



The day after, I spent the whole day with Tara. Highlights of the day?? Cleaning the sink at Angies and the Rocket Summer concert!! The concert was the BEST I have ever been to. It was INSANE! I loved every single minute of it. Oh, and after the concert we went and walked around the Logan Temple grounds. It was such a peaceful night to do so. I love the temple!!





This week was the second week of classes.... Is it bad to say that I am already sick of school? I mean, my classes are going great..... but, school is school. I just want to be able to hang out and do fun things all the time!! Not the best attitude, I know.... but I just can't help feeling like that. I was soooo happy when Friday arrived. Even more excited for Saturday.

Yesterday was such an amazing and tiring day. It was USU football's first home game. Because I am part of the HURD, game days are LEGIT. It began with Aggie Stampede! What is this, you may ask? We begin at one end of campus and go running and screaming through the dorms, getting people to put on their Aggie Blue and game day t-shirts, and come with us throughout the whole campus and throughout all the other on-campus apartments. Once we have gained a big crowd, we stampede to the HURD tailgate party. Which was pretty fun!

Then.... it was GAMETIME!! :) You think your school has the loudest crowd? Well, think AGAIN! I seriously believe USU has one of the most legit and loudest crowds in college sports. So crazy! And the game was AWESOME! I have come to love football, that is for sure! This was my first college football game, and it was a great one! Utah State cruised right by Weber State, 54-17. Such a fun game!! :)




I am loving the college life! But, I am missing home a little bit. Missing all the people I grew up with. I love all of you guys! Can't wait to come and visit!

Livin' the life

Well, I am here. Moved into the apartment last week, and classes started this week.

So far, the college life has been AMAZING!! I absolutely love it. Logan is a great city, Utah State is a great university, could it get any better??? :) I am seriously having the time of my life. It feels so weird to actually be to this point of my life. It has been super weird to be away from home.... but I am getting used to it.

My classes have gone really well. I am a little worried about Statistics.... but everything should go well. I LOVE my institute class!! I feel the Spirit so strong every time I go there. My teacher is sooooo awesome. He has such a kind and caring spirit to him and he is an amazing teacher.

This weekend should be a really fun!! :) Tonight USU is having an 80s dance. My first college dance!!! It should be tons of fun. Then tomorrow, because I am a part of the student section group called the HURD, I am going to a football away party. And also tomorrow night I am going to go to The Rocket Summer concert on campus. It is just going to be a fun-filled weekend! There is ALWAYS something to do here in Logan, which is such a change from where I grew up.

Just thought I would check in and let everyone know how I am doing. It has been a great experience so far!! Love all of you!
