First week down: Check!

 After the first week of this new semester I've just got one thing to say:

 It is GOOD to be back!

 

Now you might be thinking... the first week of school is sort of a drag.

And not gonna lie.. I was kinda overwhelmed after my first day of classes!

But despite the new semester anxieties, it turned out to be such a fun week!

One highlight of my week was...
Girls night with the roomies! :)

It's crazy how close you end up being with your roommates! But I can honestly say these girls are some of my best friends! And a whole month apart was way too long...So here's a shout out to my amazing roommates... (From left to right) Olivia, Bailee, and Cass! We see each other at our best and our worst and yet somehow we still all love each other! Truthfully, I don't know what I'd do without them. 

So it's always fun when we take the night just to have a fun night with the girls!

 Sooo what did we do for our roomie night?

Well as part of USU's Back to School Extravaganza, USUSA brought in the famous Dave Coleman.. Also known as The Dating Doctor!

Have you ever seen the movie Hitch? Yeah it's based off of this guy! He's a genius!

And let me tell ya... He is literally so GOOD!
Almost too good... it's crazy!

It made for such a fun and entertaining night!

 After the privilege of listening to the Dating Doctor speak we topped our night off with a typical Starbucks run!

It's always a good time with these lovely ladies! 

 

The second highlight of my week was visiting

Lava Hot Springs

For the first time ever!

 

 

If you've never been to Lava it's home to natural hot springs so they're really just like a bunch of big hot tubs with rocks on the bottom! It was way cool to be sitting there halfway in a hot tub and halfway in a blizzard! I was slightly nervous that my hair was going to freeze off but no worries.. it didn't :)

 Lava isn't necessarily the closest attraction to Logan.. It's actually almost in Pocatello, Idaho.

But was it worth the snowy drive? Absolutely!

And it's always fun to take a mini road trip with lots of good friends!

So if you haven't had the chance to make it to Lava, Then I would highly recommend it!  

Some other highlights of the week included

The traditional High Stakes Bingo

Poetry and a Beverage

Throwback Thursday Dance

And more! :)

Thanks to our awesome Student Association for planning such a fun Back to School Extravaganza!

 

I hope you all enjoyed your first week back as well!

Keep on Keepin on!

GO AGGIES!

Here's to the New Year!

Wow where did 2013 go?!

Especially this last month ... it  has FLOWN by!

I swear just barely I thought Christmas would never come and now we're already through New Years and heading back to school for Spring Semester! I guess it's true what they say...

Time flies when you're having fun!

 

For Winter Break I got to come home to Alpine, Utah and be with some of my very favorite people in the world .. also known as my family. :) And let me tell ya.... it has been a much needed reunion and break! It's been both relaxing and exciting! I hope it's been just as good for everyone else and that you're now all rejuvenated and ready to take on Spring 2014!

 

Here's a little video I put together of some of my favorite parts of my break... 

Sooo even though I didn't go on any trips to a warmer wonderland like a lot of my friends... I couldn't have asked for a better break! And even though I' m so sad to see this break come to an end, I am SO excited to start the next part of my adventures at Utah State!

Here's to 2014! New resolutions and new opportunities!

I've got a feeling it's going to be a good year!

Keep on Keepin on!

Go Aggies!!
