…College??

College has always been a dream of mine and now that I’m a senior in High School it is something that I feel is coming at me full speed. This summer I got to tour Fort Hays State University. It’s so hard to explain, but the moment I stepped foot onto that campus a sudden feeling of home and calmness overcame me. Which I was NOT expecting to get from this school at all. This is going to be my school, I know it.

Now almost a week later after my campus visit, FHSU has not left my mind for a second. Now it is just sitting there taunting me since I still have to sit though many long high school lessons knowing that beautiful dream is waiting for me.

Every single person I got to meet with was so incredibly kind and informative. Overall it was just such a great experience. While I was there I got to meet with one of the four sorority house presidents. I AM SO EXCITED. Joining a sorority is one of the things I am most excited about. I think the whole philanthropy concept is so important to focus on and incorporate into peoples lives. Im also very excited for the opportunity to meet all these wonderful people from the frats and sororities during Rush Week. I am shy when it comes to throwing myself into groups of people like this but I really believe it will push me out of my comfort zone, which I really need.

My main focus right now is to start preparing myself for a great, successful senior year so my dream at FHSU will come to life! GO TIGERS 2023!!

THE boy♥

ooff… so much more than heart eyes and butterflies in my stomach.

I’m already blushing… Garrhett and I started talking sometime in October of 2016. At this time he was going to Grandview High School and I was going to Creek. He followed my friend Olivia and she posted a picture of us together at a Drake concert and from that picture he ended up following me and asking for my snapchat: I know girls MAJOR eye roll, but this guy sliding into my DMs was the best thing that has ever happened to me. At this point we just had very casual conversations about how one of his close friends sat behind me in my English class. It was a few days before Christmas when he made his first move. Throughout winter break all we did was talk, we asked every question to each other that we could both think of to the point where we stared playing would you rather. “Would you rather your shirts be always two sizes too big or one size too small?”. THE day of Christmas was the day he asked me out on what would be out first of many dates. On December 30th I met this very quite, shy boy outside of the Southlands movie theater where I saw him standing with a single pink rose. The date was so awkward, but there isn’t a single thing I would change about that whole night. From the moment we said goodnight to each other, Garrhett and I have been inseparable.

We dated about 6th months while going to different schools which was surprisingly easy since our parents were very generous with how much they let us be together after school and on weekends. When summer of 2017 rolled around it just so happened that everyone in my family agreed that it was time for me to move to a better school. That school was Grandview which happened to be where Garrhett was. Everything was just working out perfectly. Transferring to Grandview was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I know it’s cliche, but being with him just makes everything so much easier. Garrhett has not one bad or selfish bone in his body. He has helped me though every panic attack, every doubt that has ever entered my mind and everything that one person wouldn’t want to face alone. I’ll tell ya, that boy is such a trooper. He can sit and watch Gossip Girl with me and have not one complaint come out of his mouth. If we are being honest, I think he kinda likes it LOL! I have enjoyed every second with him, from sitting at home and watching The Office, to baking, to watching all of his baseball games, the countless Chipotle runs, and the sentimental, heart warming conversations we have in my car not to mention the countless hours we spend singing hits from the 2000s. Him and I have laughed until we couldn’t breath and cried until we both were trying to catch a breath of air between sobs. I couldn’t imagine what I would be like without him. We have helped each other grow and mature so much this past year and a half, I almost can’t believe who we were when we first met. Everyone says we are too young to know what we want but I cannot imagine a life without him by my side. He is my best friend and the one and only person I feel as though I can act myself around and have no judgement from, unless we get into are weekly heated conversation about politics, then the gloves are off and the insults spew out. Don’t worry we always kiss and make up.

I am so excited to see what the future has in store for me and him. I cannot wait to share graduating high school together and then college plus the many more in-between. I love you G, with all my heart.
