Snapshots of College Life

I've never liked taking pictures as much as I do now. I don't know why college has suddenly changed me, but I have this weird urge to document everything I do. I promise I'll try to restrain myself though. We'll see how well that works out.


This is another one of my roommates, Krista. She was really disappointed that she didn't make it on the last blog.


My mother loves me. She sent me my first college package! I thought she was just sending me a can opener and a muffin tin, and I opened it up to find this. I am so spoiled. Love you, mom!


And while we're on the topic of love, these muffins were fantastic. They were almost as happy to see me as I was to see them. I can't take credit for their creation. That was all Zoee. I just provided the oil, eggs, and the belly to hold them.


Look who came to visit! I love this beautiful girl right here! And now that she's been given a peek into college life, I bet she's stoked to come here in the fall. I'm hoping the pile of dirty dishes in the kitchen didn't scare her off. Or the books lying all over the couch and desks. Or the...ok you get the picture.




The bell tower right outside the apartment.


McKayla and Sam in front of the bell tower. I got to hang out with these lovely ladies all day!


This is what I get to look out over every morning. Yes, the window is that dirty. Usually the courtyard is full of EFY kids, but I snapped the picture before they took over.



This was the highlight of my day. I'm sorry, Sam. It's true. I loved seeing you too, though. Don't worry.  


I was ecstatic to hold this book in my hands. I don't know what it's like to hold your own child, but I can imagine this comes close. Ok, maybe not. I'll pretend it is until I actually have children. Then I'll let you know which one was more exciting. I thought I could never get as excited about a book as I did over the 7th Harry Potter. I was wrong. That experience paled in comparison to this one.


In like two days I will have my very own copy to love and to hold for ever and ever. If you think I'm excited now, just wait until I get that package. I think I might explode.
