Hola amigos!! Sorry for the Spanish title but I am running out of creative titles. Ok well none of my titles are creative. Anyway, I started my 3rd ish semester of college a week ago and I just finished my first week of school. It's been great. I love my roommates and new friends and so far it has been an amazing experience my first couple weeks. I know that last sentence said the first week but I procrastinated and I am now writing this at 3 am on Saturday April 29th, 2017. But yeah I love it. LOL. I don't even know what day I'm writing this now. Scratch everything I just said.
Let's start off with my first night here.
So after I had driven 6 long hours that day from Cedar City and roughly 8 hours the previous day from Hesperia to Cedar city (due to a crap ton of traffic in places that I've never encountered traffic), we finally made it to Rexburg. Yeah, my sister trusted me driving her brand new car all the way to school. I was happy. I did get to stop in Provo and say hi to Olivia Yocum, so shoutout to Olivia because she's super cool and awesome and you're the best Winter Formal date. She's such a super awesome person and I know she's doing great down at BYU in Provo. Anyway, so we arrive in Rexburg and I immediately went over to say hi to my friends. I figured unpacking could come later. I walk into apartment 405 and immediately Tara Pope and Savanna Theobald come running up to me to hug me and say hi. Tara was like, "I don't know why I was that excited to see you" well obviously because you have a crush on me that you won't admit. Then I saw a bunch of other friends like Kennedy Lee and Eliza Griffin and Travis Morgan and Gavin Brown. I forget when I saw each of them but I missed all of those people. Brianna Haroldsen showed up and I ran up to her. She's a great person and I love being around her.
From there I went over to Centre Square to see my other friends. As soon as I walk into the apartment that I wanted to go to Dimani, Katie, and Emily came running up to me to hug me. Like no joke, I was probably the happiest I have ever been. I LOVED seeing Dimani since she is one of my best friends. And then seeing Katie and Emily after 3 and a half months was a great feeling. I missed them so much. Let's be honest, I only missed Katie for her dog. JK. I love Katie and Emily so much they are both amazing girls. And as I have talked about Dimani before, she is the coolest person I know. That night, we went swimming at an apartment complex and it was super fun. Then I had to go to Walmart and while there I get a call from my sister. "Hey Michael, come to the sugar aisle, there's someone you wanna see." So I go over there and boom I leave my cart in the middle of the aisle of a lot of people passing by and I run up to Angel Gonzales. I missed that dude so much. Love him so much and he has the best laugh.
Easter Sunday came around the next day. I did my usual of going to church and then coming home. We had potluck that night which was super fun. Around 50-70 people showed up to one apartment and dang it was a crowded apartment. But we were all awaiting the arrival of the newly engaged couple, Housten Christiansen and Veronica Martinez. They got engaged that Friday and I found out Saturday before they announced it on social media. As soon as they pulled into the parking lot, I ran up to the car and jumped on top of them and then gave both of them a huge hug. It was so amazing to see them. I missed them so much and was super ecstatic to see them. I am so happy for them and can't wait for their wedding.
Anyway, lets talk about my roommates. So my room roommate is Thomas, I don't know his last name. He's super chill and fun to be around. Tyler, one of my other roommates is super funny and he's a great person to hang out with. He's also in my biology class. The same exact class that I'm retaking since I failed it the first time. Fernando, he's another friend that I've had since last semester and he's really cool. I love hanging out with him and love being around him. Joseph is super awesome and he's chill. I don't talk to Christian often but he's super awesome. I love my roommates. However, I will note that I saw David and Adam the other day and it was so awesome seeing them. I miss both of them so much and man I was so happy to see them.
So all of my new friends this semester. Hmmmm. I don't know if you guys remember but I was good friends with apartment 602 fall semester which included Brooklin, Summer, Carlie, Aubree, Katie, and Meghan, and then Chyna pretty much lived there too. Well the first day, I told the new 602 that I would become best friends with them. So now I am good friends with Lizzy, Jozelle, Abby, Mak, Ella and Katie (who is still there). So yeah they are now pretty much my new best friends. They're amazing and super fun to hang out with. It's weird being with a different 602 but they are some of my favorite people. Then there is 401, my FHE sisters. They include Natalie, Beth, Grace, Amanda, Jenna, and Maya. They are super fun to be around and I love them. They are super sweet and some of the nicest people I know. THEY ARE THE BEST. Then the usual 404 which is my sisters apartment. That includes Emily Finch, Brianna, Ellen, Mele (she's from Australia), and Veronica. I'm over there everyday and I'm always hanging out with them. I love them too. And then finally there is 405. That includes, Taylin, Bailey, Eliza, Savanna, Tara, and Salena. They are super awesome and I love hanging out with them. I'm always at their apartment too. Another guys apartment I'm always at is 305 which has Ian, Nick, Adam, Houston, Gavin, and Travis. The latter three, I was friends with last semester and they are my best guy friends up here. Ian and Nick I knew but I wasn't close with but they're cool. Adam is a hilarious dude and he's the best. He gave me a ride to class this morning. And then there's the usual Elliot, Ian, and Sam and miscellaneous friends that I hang out with. I love everyone.
Anyway, I love school so far this semester. Plenty of friends, plenty of cute girls, plenty of food, and plenty of good times. It's been so fun being here with my sister. She's the best sister ever. I love my roommates and I love my friends. I'm so happy to be here another semester and am so excited for what's to come. I'm a little disappointed that I couldn't serve my mission yet but I know this is where I'm supposed to be right now. This will be an amazing semester. I love you all and know that the Lord has a plan and you are exactly where you're supposed to be. Stay safe everyone. Thanks for reading.
P.S. I'm not even going to bother proofreading so let me know if I need to fix anything.
