I am sure all of you are thrilled that I finally figured out how to put pictures on my blog. I am so challenged. Anyway, I am work right now and was trying to think about another thing I am passionate about and then it hit me. I love the U of U. I know all of you Westminster folks might not like this blog post. I am sorry ahead of time.
I had the best experience I think anyone could have in college. I got involved in the resident halls, had great roommates, lived in a sorority house and found leadership skills I did not know I had. I loved it more than anything. My great experience and love for the U really has impacted my life, my career and my passions.
I always loved the fall time because it meant back to school shopping, buying notebooks and day planners, I am such a school nerd. But seriously, this is what school meant to me when I was younger. In college it meant, football games, Greek recrutiment "rush" and spending time with friends. Once I took my last final at the U, I just walked off campus and felt a sadness that probably most people do not feel when they graduate college. I was a little empty without the University of Utah in my life. I bleed red and completely believe in my education from the University of Utah.
Now that I am back, I am happier than I have been since college. I drive to work smiling! I don't even need a latte or donut to get me smiling in the morning. I love being a part of the University of Utah community. I am looking forward to fall this year for watching students on campus and feeling so lucky that I get to work here that I am an alum.

Wow, this post is shocking! I never knew. jk
I think you should blog about the time that you rode your bike (with helmet of course) to Greek Row. I can see you now. I love that story. Too bad we didn't know each other when we were at the U. I'm sure we would have gotten into some scandalous trouble together. But that's okay, we waited until we got to Westminster for that.
I too had a great experience at the U...and my favorite color is red. Although my experience was very impersonal I had a good time and made good contacts there that I still talk with. I recently participated in an alumni focus group which was interesting.
Go UTES!
Thats great! I have a lot of memories of college and it seems as though you figure out who you are.
