As hard as it
is to admit it, I have finished my third year of college. *Cue the tears* It seems like just yesterday I was moving into my freshman dorm room. This meant I would be leaving my
parents for the first time, meeting my roommate who I had never met before, but overall excitement for the four great years ahead of me. I can honestly say I am not the same girl
that walked the halls of Saint Mary's for the first time three years ago. I
have grown in more ways than I could have ever hoped. Freshman year, our
president gave a speech welcoming all the new students. She talked about how
amazing Saint Mary's was (we already knew that) and that by the end of our four
years we will leave more educated, more confident and understand the important of a Saint Mary's woman. At the time I did not understand
how this small school could promise me some much and after three quick years I
now understand. Saint Mary's is a special place. A place with a great educated, great
girls that I get to call my friends but better yet, a great place I get to call
home.
After leaving Rome a year ago, I could not imagine how my life could get any better than it was there. However, my junior year, I found myself happy, but in a different way than Rome. This year I met so many great girls that I could not be happier to call my friends, I lived and attend one of the beautiful colleges in the country and had opportunities and experiences that I will never forget. Here's a round up of some of my favorite junior year moments.
~The beautiful castle I was lucky enough to call home~
~I was one of four juniors from the business department to compete at
the National Team Selling Competition at Indiana University~
~Dance Marathon 2016... 12 hours of non-stop dancing for the
kids! Did I mention SMC raised the most money in recorded history? Go Belles!~
~Zac Brown Band with my Rome girls~
~Junior Mom's Weekend~
~Some of the greatest
belles you will ever meet~
My junior
year was one for the books and I could not imagine spending it with anyone else
or anywhere else. Saint Mary's will always be a huge part of my life and I'm
excited to see what my last year has in store for me. Once a Belle, Always a Belle.
