a look at the past (sophmore year)

soph year had a lot of ups and downs. in the beginning i had a month fight with my core group of friends, over something incredibly stupid. i moved from living with glory to living with janelle. that was a a good thing about it. in march my friend james died and that has been the hardest thing to deal with. my core group of friends werent really there for me, i remember the one telling me after a week that i needed to get over and move on because apparently he wasnt that great of a friend because i never talked about him, which is not true, i talked about him all the time.. it hurt that she said that. to this day im still not over his death. but here are pictures to explain my year.

i got to go to ohio before school started to visit Lauren. it was a really fun time and i appreciate this girl more than anything in the world.

jenn and i just goofing off as always

powderpuff. obviously only some of the team. me and nicole are the only two in this picture that played four years. two of them felt they didnt get to play much because zach our coach had favorites, i didnt see that at all. 

i went to resturant night with these girls. which is when the DC makes the presidents dining room all nice and has some fancy food.

my world religions class went to chicago for the day and we went to a buddhist temple, a hindu temple and something else. it was a good time getting to spend with people i didnt know well and getting to know them better. i also learned a lot which is good since thats what this trip was for.

  


notre dame drum circle. its so much fun and i love going to it. i'll def miss that when i dont live here anymore. GO IRISH!

the year i met kalin, who is still my friend to this day. we worked in the dc together and got yelled at constantly. but i wouldnt have made it thru working there without her.

 Amy and i. we went bowling at the start of spring semester. this was before i chopped my hair off. :(

fall break i went to kansas city, missouri to IHOP. it was a good time to make new friends and get closer to God. i would do it all over again.

 celebrating my half birthday. i cant say i never had good times with these girls because i did. but i never really felt like i belonged with the group. we would fight a lot and sure i know friends do that but i always felt like they would make fun of me and idk, its complicated. however this was a fun night and i'll never forget it.

 i skipped my night class and went to spring arbor, michigan for a basketball game. the only time i have ever went to an away game.

 celebrating jenn's birthday. we started the night off eating tacos at a good authentic mexican restaurant and she insisted we break the pinata in the freezing cold, with it snowing.

 garrett. we had an interesting friendship. we would go on nightly walks and talk about everything and anything. 

zach: pretty much one of the coolest people i met that year.

  

the year i became really good friends with katie. she is the definition of a good friend. she has helped me thru so much and been there when i needed someone. i know her and i will be lifelong friends and i thank God for this girl each and every day.

  


me and lauren. she has also been there for me thru so much, and we overcame a huge fight and gosh i wish she was still at bethel.

 janelle and lindsey. two girls i appreciate so much. they were there when i needed someone, they gave me good advice.

 lauren and laura. i met them working in the dc and im still friends with them to this day. i wouldnt have gotten thru those dc shifts without them. im so glad God brought them into my life, and continues to bless me with their friendships.

my first time being in a sumo costume, it was hot and sweaty and gross, but it was super fun. until i would fall and im short so i would get lost inside. 

   

 i was in janelle's wedding. my first wedding being in the wedding party, it was a good time.

i spent spring break in angola, IN. with a friend, and i met some of her friends. and i got a motorcycle ride from an incredibly hot fellow. :)

i also met jess working the the dc. we spent may term together.
