Is it the end of BYUI? Nope, just a long break!

WOW is all I can say. This semester has gone by SO fast! This has been the best semester ever. What a life changing and growing experience. I've never been the type that saying bye has been easy. You get the chance to put yourself out there for people to love and to grow with and from. But then that time comes where you have to say bye. Why is that always so hard? I know that putting myself out there to make new friends, and to just have a crazy time hasn't been hard, but when it comes to saying bye that's the tear jerker for me. I put 100% into everyone I meet, so when its time to go a little part of me goes with them, leaving a little piece of me gone (for the better). It's been a semester that I will NEVER forget. I have gained some of the most amazing blessings. Those blessings I call; Friends. Each and everyone has been a blessing to my heart. It grows bigger and bigger everyday. I LOVE it. Each and everyone of those people has made a spot in my heart forever. There has been some challenging stuff this semester, but with the friends I made, i made it through. 

 

Speaking of challenging situations, this semester has been a tough one for me sick wise. I had the "opportunity" of getting swine flu and walking Pneumonia. Let me tell you, its not walk in the park. I was out of school for a month and 23 days exactly. Pretty sad huh? Being sick really showed me how tender everyone is, and how blessed I am to have such caring and loving friends here. I had never been so taken care of as I was here. Everyone knew exactly how to take care of me. I did have to go a couple times to the Health Center to get I.V's. But I had rides, people there with me. I really had a personal assistant help me to my every need. It was fun, but I wish I could have had it with not being sick! :) I am so thankful for everything I have in my life. I love my friends!

Each and every person that i've met here has made a big change in my life. Everyone here has a purpose. It might not be the biggest one, but everyone is always changing someone's life in some way. I know that I've been so blessed with the people that have crossed my path. I am SO lucky to have the friends that i've made, and to have the friends I already had here.

i LOVE these girls <3

I really have been so lucky with everything thats happened to me up here. I am surrounded by amazing people, their smiles, attitude and way towards life just makes everything so much easier to go through. I LOVE LOVE LOVE BYU Idaho and everything that it's given me. I've grown so much, and my testimony has grown more than I would have ever thought it could. I can't say thank you enough to everyone that has helped me in some way, shape or form.

Love life and it will love you back :] Thats been a big quote i've lived by lately. It's so true. Life is a "hurts so bad" kinda thing. Take it as it comes and just embrace everything you've been given. Embrace a trial, a situation, a happy moment, a sad moment, tender times. They are given to you for a reason!
