Hello All! This is my very first blog, so please bear with me as I figure this whole thing out!
Like most of my friends, I wanted to start a blog about my adventures here in Idaho! Let me just say so far it’s been so great and I absolutely LOVE it! I want to start at the very beginning, which was the drive out here! We left Friday afternoon on January 2nd. We stopped at a NASTY super sketch motel in Missouri. It was so gross guys I’m not exaggerating. I slept with my hood on my head so I wouldn’t have to touch the pillow. My mom slept with a shower cap on her head for the same reason. But hey, memories right?
Our next stop was in Wyoming. We stayed in Cheyenne. So there’s not much to see in Southern Wyoming, but it is BEAUTIFUL. Especially up in Jackson Wyoming! We stayed there the next night and I know I said this before, but dang it is beautiful! Here are some pictures of our visit to Wyoming. 
See? Beautiful!
Then we finally made it to Rexburg! That’s when the nerves and anxiety set in. Hardcore. I began to feel so sick to my stomach and it was awful. I spent the first night trying not to hurl! I think I only got an hour and a half of sleep.
Then Tuesday it only got worse. I was so close to going home. But then I received a blessing from my dad and cousin who is here. Miracles are REAL people! I felt better and I was ready for the first day of classes. It was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done to say goodbye to my parents. But I know that this is where I’m supposed to be right now.
School has been so good so far. It’s definitely been a transition getting back into the swing of things. I’ve been graduated from high school for 2 years, so it’s been awhile since I’ve had to do homework or studying. But if I’m being honest, I’m enjoying it! I love having a schedule and having responsibility.
Wednesday was my friend Megan’s birthday, so we went out to dinner and had a blast! I love this new college life.
So then Saturday I went to a CRAZY party with my friend Emma! I had no idea what to expect when I walked in. It was a huge rave/mosh pit. I had a good time, but I don’t think I want to go to a party like that again. At least not for a while. I had no hearing in my right ear for 3 days! Oh and I went crowd surfing! I don’t think I’ve had so many people touch my rear in my life. Haha! Also a one time deal.
Don’t get me wrong though, I had a blast!!!!
So then school just happened. I’ve gone to classes, and hung out with friends. I’m adjusting pretty well and I’m so thankful that I have so many friends here to be with and to support each other. And lets be honest, Idaho is gorgeous!
Until Next week! xoxo
