525,600 minutes (times 5)

High school was SOOO long ago. 5 years to be exact. Maybe that sounds like a joke to some of you, but now I'm looking at the end of my first college stint and it all seems unreal. It has been impossible to look at the day-to-day this semester without seeing April 22 in the picture. That's the day I graduate. It's been hard to look back at how amazing and amazingly hard these 5 years have been too. Mostly in remembering, I recall assignments. Boring! but when you spend hundreds of hours sweating over them and then a straight 24 hours actually doing them the day before they are due, they almost become your "babies." Okay, so that's just me... I put way too much mental/emotional energy into assignments (especially that interest me), but when I look past the work and stress, I realize I have been a part of some fantastic classes here at BYU. Despite the "cookie-cutter" students and the struggle to see how awesome you are for all you have accomplished because of the ridiculously comparative(oops!) competitive and  homogenous population, it has been the best place for me. I'll miss the campus and the classes and the GREAT professors a lot.
