A Me Update

So, before now, all I've posted on this blog were just things I already wrote on Facebook. A friend of mine made me promise him that I would create a blog. Now that I actually have one, maybe I should actually use it as a blog! We'll see how it goes. I've always been terrible at keeping a journal, but maybe this will be different.

So, I'm in Rexburg, ID right now, going to BYU-Idaho. I'm studying Elementary Education. Although, right now, I'm technically not enrolled. I'm taking some time off to work full-time, so that when I start attending school again in April, I'll be in a much better financial position. This whole thing has definitely been an interesting experience. I mean, it's been great overall! I'm a Sophomore, taking time off, like I said. But I've made the best kind of friends that anyone could possibly hope for. I've also experienced heartbreak of almost every kind. Instead of going into those details now, I think I'll save them for separate posts. All in all, there's no other place I'd rather be right now. The funny thing is, I really mean it.

While I definitely miss my family and friends back in New Hampshire (they mean the world to me), this is where I need to be right now. That's very clear to me. This is the first time I've ever lived out on my own, and I feel it shaping me into the person I need to become. More on this later.
