It’s been two incredible years (okay, two and a half, lack of posting immediately) but BYU is still blue and I’m still a student here! Time to continue the adventure.

I simply cannot believe it. At 2:00 today, I finished all secular schooling for at least two and a half years. And guess what? The feeling sucks.
