On to the Next Chapter
It’s official. I’m
all moved into my dorm room in Minneapolis. I woke up this morning and the
craziest realization hit me; I woke up in Minnesota today, not North Dakota.
Random, I know, but I guess you can say it’s finally hit me. I’m so excited to
have started this new chapter in my life, and I’m so blessed to have such a
solid support system helping guide me the entire way. Now that this North
Dakota girl has gone Minnesota I thought I would use this blog to reflect over
some of the things I’m going to miss most about living in Fargo.
For starters, I’m
going to miss my family. It seems pretty quiet now without my brother’s voices
around. I’m going to miss my dog, Makoti, greeting me every time I come home.
I’m going to miss having my best friends five minutes away; the little
Starbucks down the street where I always did my homework; and being able to
drive out to the country at night and look at the stars. And while I’m super
excited about all that I have ahead of me, part of me has taken on a deeper
appreciation for everything I had back home; however I know in time I’ll
quickly become acclimated.
Only as high as I
reach can I grow,
Only as far as I
seek can I go,
Only as deep as I
look can I see,
Only as much as I
dream can I be.

I’ve arrived at the threshold of so
many opportunities. The door has been opened for me to follow my wildest dreams
and I couldn’t be more excited. Everyone has told me that college is the
greatest four years of your life. Here’s to my brand new chapter! J
Until next time,
Xoxo
