New Year, New Life
SO, it has officially been way to long since I updated by blog! This is the second week back to school and it is already going so fast! My last semester of my undergrad is coming to an end. It is bittersweet. On one hand, I CAN’T WAIT to be done; but on the other hand I might never see some people again. The first day I came back I was walking across campus and realized that things here are so familiar! I know the sidewalks, I know the buildings, the people, the norms, the abnormalities, all the little things that make UNC home. So many memories, tears, and laughs have been made on this campus! 
I remember the first time I came on campus for my tour with Mackey. It just seemed right! Later that day I met with Shannon, the curriculum director of the Athletic Training Education Program, and decided that I could see myself in the program. The last four years have been spent building relationships with roommates, classmates, professors, athletes, and even the janitors as well as working towards becoming a certified athletic trainer. I’m almost there. I will be taking my certification exam in April. While growing up, the time between graduating from college and having a family never really existed to me, but now it is quickly becoming my reality! I cannot wait to graduate from college, marry Rus, and then move to England. It’s just crazy that I’m here and it’s happening!
This new year will start a completely new chapter in my life. The old chapter will end and the new will begin. In some ways it’s sad to leave the old, but I will always have the memories. I would not change a thing about the past 4 years. At times its been hard, I’ve cried and wanted to quit; but its also been a complete blast and I’ve learned so much about who I am. My experiences here at UNC have left a mark that will impact who I am for the rest of my life. I’ll carry a piece of this school with me. Closure with the old, excitement with the new. I’m glad you’ve been able to go with me throughout this trip!
Have a great day!
