Just something New

So for a long time I have been telling people that I want to write my own blog. I love reading other people's blogs and catching up on their life, but in today's day in age where everyone is always so busy and schedules never match up. I also want to keep track of all the crazy things that go on in my life and the new things I learn throughout any given year. No guarantee that these post will always be funny or help teach you something new, but if you want to read then you can join me in my crazy life of (well currently) finishing school, looking after 200 freshmen and figuring out exactly what God wants me to do.

Here is a little bit about me...
I am currently a senior at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. I am studying business finance with a minor in human resource and development. I work as a hall director and run a building of 200 (just lovely and respectful) freshmen and 6 resident advisers. I am originally from San Diego (well Oceanside if you know San Diego) California. Yes, I did decide that it would be cool to move cross country to a place I had only been to once to go to college! Days like today where the high is 20 degrees I kinda regret that decision, but normally I love being in Virginia. So the explanation of why Virginia of all places? Well when I was in the 8th grade I came to Virginia and other states on the east coast on my school's 8th grade D.C. trip to learn about the history of the U.S. For some reason I fell in love with Virginia and upon arrival back to California I told my parents that I was going to go to college in Virginia. They thought I was crazy, which made me more determined to make it work. I knew that I wanted to go to a public university because I had gone to private school my whole life and wanted to make my faith my own and not just requirement of taking Bible class or going to Chapel on Thursday mornings. So I fell in love with JMU the second I stepped foot on the campus and knew that this is where God was leading for my college year.

Four years later and now I am getting ready to graduate in May and leave JMU and all of the memories I have created and friendships that have been formed to enter the "real world" of the 9-5 job in McLean, Virginia (guess I couldn't get enough of VA). So stay tuned for some boring days but also so hopefully entertaining adventures as I prepare to enter the next chapter in my life!
