one more year

in a few short weeks, i will be starting my last year as an undergrad at brigham young university.

              i am excited, nervous, sad and happy.

many people are under the impression that i don't love byu-provo as much as byu-hawaii. well, it's true.


this place will always be my 'hometown'

but, byu-provo has been an amazing-amazing experience. i have never grown or learned so much as in these last four years. although i am sad to be moving on, i am excited to have one more year.

one more year of quiet lunches in the moa cafe.


one more year of falling asleep on random benches

one more year of nervously entering teachers' offices

one more year of running into old and new friends





one more year of buying an ice cream cone at this place when i have had a bad day (or a good day, for that matter)

one more year of studying in the science section of the library
because i believe the science books will emit
an aura that will make me smarter. 

 one more year of trudging through cold snow, but knowing it's worth it because i can reward myself with hot chocolate

one more year of walking around the harris fine arts center staring at artwork i can't begin to understand

one more year of finding an empty practice room after my night classes and singing at the top of my lungs

one more year of good test scores and bad test scores

one more year of fantastic devotionals and forums

one more year to grow

one more year to be learning at a beautiful school

one more year of little moments that make life worth the journey


one more year of happiness-directly ahead.

this video is amazing...i cry...
