Fresh Start

To those of you who have seen my past posts, I'm going to change things up a bit. From now on, My posts will be positive and encouraging. No one needs more negativity in their lives. So my first post is going to be about my first couple weeks at college. I am lucky enough to be able to attend a college in northeast Tennessee that is absolutely gorgeous ( if you need proof, just look at the picture below! I mean WOW). Milligan College is one of the most amazing small christian colleges I have ever seen. It's a place where everyone seems to get along and like each other. Of course, no school is perfect, but like I said we are focusing on the positive.

One thing you should know is that Milligan is about 5 hours from my home and family in the Lexington, Kentucky area. While it was hard for me to be that far away, God has introduced me to people down here that I know will have a strong impact on not only the flow of my life, but on my spiritual journey as well. I am fortunate enough to be able to play for the women's basketball team at Milligan, and that has been a blessing in more ways than one. Of course, there is the obvious financial aid that it has giving me, but more importantly in my book, being a part of this team has introduced to a ton of girls that I am sure will be life long friends.

School has been pretty rough this year. My classes are harder and have more work outside of class. I am starting to gain a better understanding of the phrase, "D stands for Diploma." I am working very hard to get a solid start to the year, because it only gets harder from here with basketball starting up. I am studying to become a Physical Therapist, so the classes only get harder from here. The bright side is, I know the harder I work now, the easier it will be to get into grad school.

That's All for now. Just hanging in there and facing each day with a smile.

XOXO,
