This year has been filled with long nights, great friends, and many firsts (from my first concert to my first use of footnotes to my first late-night Cookout run). I wanted to share some photos from over the course of the year to celebrate what a great nine months it's been.

| My First Concert: I saw Taylor Swift for my birthday |
| My cousin, Taylor, got married in October and Hannah and I were in the wedding party |

My hallmates and I as Disney Princesses for Halloween My cousin's baby/my godchild, Brooklyn, was baptized in December.  I somehow survived the crazy amount of snow we got this year, despite multiple power outages. We made the best of it!  I joined an intramural sports team...okay, so it was laser tag. But we clearly took it very seriously, dressing in all black and doing Black Widow-esque makeup.  My hall took a trip to Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens, which was an adventure to say the least.  My girls and I participated in the Honors Program Olympics. We may not have done well in the competitions, but we came in second for team spirit thanks to our tutus and "I Don't Sweat, I Sparkle" tanks! |

| My best friend, Alex, came to visit me for the weekend after he got out of school and even agreed to go with us to Stephanie and Stefanie's "Tacky Prom" themed APO formal. Our dresses are Stephanie's mom's...from the 80's! |
I can't believe that I'll be spending three months away from school and all of my friends; I definitely haven't grasped yet that this year is over! I can't wait to be back in the fall for lots more adventures.
