.sophomore.

Yes, I survived my first year of college and I'm back to BYU again. It's seriously such a breath of fresh air to be back. Literally - Sacramento was pretty smoky this summer with the forest fires surrounding us.
This year's so different. Or at least, I feel it is going to be. I keep forgetting that I'm still only 18 years old. I feel so much older than that. Mentally anyway. I still act young, and I definitely still look young. It's probably due to the fact that I am nearly a year younger than all of my roommates. The next youngest turned 19 in April, so I've got a lot of catching up to do.
I am SO grateful so here's my list!

1. My Father in Heaven
2. My Savior, Jesus Christ
3. Joseph Smith
4. My chance to be in the Hill Cumorah Pageant
5. My mom's "growth" was benign
6. No one got hurt when my house got broken into/robbed
7. I finally found a good job last summer
8. Roommates
9. Friends who actually care
10. BYU
11. Aloe vera (what? I'm sunburned!)
12. Laptops
13. The Internet
14. My health
15. Sugar-free ice cream

This has been a good break. Now back to studying!
