Again, graduating for me will be bittersweet. Last night we had our end-of-the-year party for the Ambassadors. Last week I gave my last tour, and last night I had my last Ambassador meeting. It was really fun! All of the ambassadors got to spend time together. We also had our second annual “Ambassie Awards.” Last [...]
My cousin, Gavin, and my Uncle Keith came to visit last weekend. I had a blast taking them around campus, even though the weather was less than perfect. Despite some recent storms, today was beautiful! I took some pictures of a few places I am really going to miss. I wish my family could have [...]

Yesterday, I made the trip back to St. Louis. Today, I visited Parking and Card Services. After a long night of traveling yesterday, I wasn’t prepared for the picture they made me take. I thought we kept the same picture for four years, but I was wrong. It wasn’t too exciting. I dropped off my [...]
