Ode to Ann Arbor

In about 4 days I will be saying farewell to Ann Arbor. And like I said before I'm excited to be going home but there is also a saddens that surrounds my move. I have done a lot of growing, changing, experiencing, and evolving here! So to have to say farewell to all of that is going to be difficult.

I will miss:

1. Second Baptist!! I learned a lot about myself at this church. I am glad to call this my church home because without them I would probably be a hot mess! The one thing I can say faithfully is that my journey with them is not over! There are still things that need to be done here I will be back!

2. My friends!! I have met so many different people here. Some that will never leave, some that kept me entertained during class and others that I have drifted away from. But they all had a part in Michigan experience.

3. Gamma Delta! I have been through a lot with these young women and couldn't have asked to be part of a better, more productive, or more illustrious chapter!! The Zeta I am becoming is because of these women and I appreciate everything that you have and will continue teaching me!

4. The Big House! By this point everyone has an understanding of how much I love football and this stadium started it all!! I used to watch the games when I was younger and the first college game I went to was here at Michigan! While all my memories aren't of wins (-__-) they will be cherished all the same! I will forever be proud to be a Wolverine! Go Blue!

5. The Union! This served as my library, conference room, cafeteria, and main place of socializing! While I got tired of have to smell and eat the same foods every other day I loved it in here! There is a lot of history, while not all positive, in this one building.

6. F.O.K.U.S. This was my first family here on campus! They brought me in, accepted me, and taught me a lot about myself. While things didn't end well and we became distant I can't deny that the intense love that I now have for art came from them! I will forever be FOKUSED!!!

7. State Street! If you've ever been to Ann Arbor you know that State St. is where all the magic happens!! There is so much happening on any given day that it's crazy! I will miss walking up down it either getting to class, some food, or meeting a friend!

8. The Diag! The most random and convenient part of central campus! If it weren't for the Diag there is no telling how many more minutes I would have late to class..and sometimes it was reason I was late or even missed class!! I have already stepped on the block M centered in the middle so I guess we can officially say farewell to each other.

They may not be it..but it's all I can think of right now! Ann Arbor you will be missed. I'll try not to cry too hard when I leave but this city and University will forever have a place in my heart (whether I wanted it to or not)!! Deuce, Deuce good ole Ace Deuce!

After Bible Study last night something hit me; that I have the tendency to be apathetic about things that happen to me in life. I'm willing to just see what happens. Which at times can be a good thing but I have come to realize it hasn't been working for me. There are some things that I need to be more proactive about: 1. My relationship with God. See it's not just enough that I am saved. There is way more to being connected to God then going to church one day a week and telling people that I'm a Christian. While I'm not going to be perfect there are numerous things that I can be doing to strengthen and expand my faith. Beginning with what I do at home. I have always thought that it was possible to just read the Bible once maybe twice a week, pray when I was need of something and everything be OK. This I have come to realize is not true. In order to have the relationship with God that I desire I need to be in constant communication with the Lord. And this has to sta...

#RoadToCandidacy

The moment you've all been waiting for, or maybe not, either way it's here!! As of today at 7:44 am my Qualifying Exams are underway!! That's right, for the next 2 months I will be on locked down writing at least 60 pages in response to 3 questions. Send me snacks, love, luck, motivation, and things to do for fun times (because baby girl will need a break)! Hopefully my depression and anxiety are willing to work with me. With that I am off to get started on Question #1! #RoadToCandidacy

RIP

Yesterday, I found that my Aunt Lou (my grandmother's sister) passed. This is my first time dealing with the of someone so close to me. When my sisters and I spent summers in Detroit we spent a majority of our time with her. It has been hard for me to deal with mostly because my grandmother has lost both of her younger sisters. The only thing I can think of is that my grandmother being the oldest is going to be gone soon as well.
