So the year is over and summer has begun.. I can’t believe my freshman year is over. This blog is the first reflection I have done about my freshman year since school got out. I have been so busy with everything I don’t know if I really took the time to notice what was going on. I just finished my first year of college. Wow… Even though I can’t say everything I feel about this year in one blog I can say that it was the most amazing year of my life. Everything was new and different. I was living on my own for the first time and learning how to be an adult. Sometimes I succeeded in my new responsibilities, and then there were those times when I failed. But every experience this year taught me something about myself, I learned more about who I was and who God wants me to be. This year I made decisions and choices that will affect me for the rest of my life. I made friends, who by the way are the most amazing people I have ever met, I chose a major, I learned how to live without my parents, and I learned how to handle tough situations with maturity and I learned that nothing is impossible with God. This year was hard, not just academically, but in every way. At the same time, it was this level of difficulty that made the year worthwhile. The year went by so fast. I have always heard not to wish your life away because life goes by fast enough on its own. I found out this year that’s true. Life does slip by while your not even paying attention. Something that I would warn people about before they go to college would be this, don’t lose yourself in it. You can become so caught up in everything that you are doing that you don’t take time to enjoy where you are, and these are supposed to be the greatest years of your life. I believe that. I am so excited to see what the next three years bring.
This summer I will be helping my parents move to Montgomery, Alabama and then I will be spending the rest of the summer in Ireland on a mission trip. I am going from June 18th to July 20th. Four weeks in Northern Ireland! I can’t wait. . It’s about all I think about these days. 
Well this is it, for all those who read my blogs this year, Thank-you. I hope you continue to read next year’s freshman blogs, I am sure they will be wonderful.
Good-bye it’s been fun,
