My mom loves awkward photos of me by myself. But ignore that, and look how cute my room is!
The bathroom...
And my roommates side of the room! And speaking of my roommate.
There she is. Guys. This is definitely a big deal for me. She's super nice and sweet, but she's a musical arts major who went to a private school for the arts in Vegas and I'm just a kid that was born and raised in Hurricane, Utah. She asked what I did and I told her play tennis and lacrosse and I'm pretty sure she's never heard of either. Which is fine, just different.
After all the parents left, I found Haylee and paisley who are also up here THANK GOODNESS. We all hungout and went to dinner and then decided we were tired. We were just laying in our room and these 5 boys came and knocked on the door and wanted to hangout. So I called Pais and Haylee and Haylee brought her roommates and we went to Denny's with them! It was pretty fun, sooo different than what I'm used to. After Denny's, we went to 'the beach' where we just talked and got to know each other better.
This is what I learned from that. People are DIFFERENT. And it's weird to me. I feel like everyone in Hurricane is just exactly the same. We all get along and can hangout with each other but there's absolutely no diversity. Not slamming on Hurricane at all because I love it. But that's just how I see it.
Speaking of diversity, there could not have been a more diverse group. For once in my life it wasn't me with a billion other Mormons. It was me and one other Mormon and 10 non Mormons. And that was different for me. And everyone's interests were foreign to me. There was a kid from Austria with us, accent and all. And a seven foot tall kid that is at SUU on a full ride for basketball. I dunno, just crazy stuff.
We all hungout until the cops came and told us we weren't supposed to be there after dark. Woops (;
After all was said and done, I met Haylee in the living room on my floor and we just hashed out the evening. I'm glad we got to meet some new people right on the first night, but I'm excited to meet more people. Maybe some more like me.
And I'm especially I'm glad my best friend is here to experience it all with me (:
Way to go Jessica. I know the first semester is hard but keep at it. I will not bash Hurricane by saying yes it is a lot of the same. You really need to experience and see lots of other people and get to know what the world entails so you know that you have the best thing. The gospel to help you. I hope you have a great time at college. WE meet lots of people from all over, some of the greatest friends and people that have helped me are not of my faith and they are awesome.
