And just like that, it was breaktime.

Hey y'all, it's been awhile! I got caught up in the end of the semester and finals stole me away. I set a new record for hours without sleep. 38 hours and proud. Expresso is a miracle, that's all I'm saying.

The fall semester of my freshman year is through and I am back home.

Where on earth did the time go? It seems like only yesterday I was driving up to Waco for the first time:

Oh yea. I'm a cutie.

I have learned so much this semester, it's ridiculous. Things like:

-Not judging a book by it's cover. Sometimes the people you think you have the least in common with will turn out to be your best friends.

-I am addicted to coffee.

-The salad bar at the dining halls isn't bad! If you stick to them during the week, you can cheat on the weekends and eat what you like.

-Michael's & Jo-Ann's like to take my money.

-Sewing is amazing. If I had the time & funds to make my own clothes always, I would. As it stands, I will be doing a lot more sewing next semester, even though I am not taking Costume Elements.

-It is indeed possible to not wear a tshirt&shorts to class all semester. I did it :)

-It's okay to be challenged! Especially in your faith. God is bigger than our questions, and He always answers.

& the most important thing I learned this semester is:

God is the ultimate. Nothing else matters outside of Him. Keeping the Lord at the center makes life easier and more fulfilling. Always.

I love my new home. It's changing me for the better, all the time, everyday. I couldn't be more thankful or more blessed to be at this amazing institution filled with the most incredible people I have ever had the joy of knowing.

Sic Em Bears!
