senior reflections

this senior year has me reflecting more than ever on my life and time at UCR.

there are SO many things i love about Riverside. people are just haters and haven't experienced Riverside enough to give it a chance.

i appreciate the following:

-there are some NICE views overlooking Riverside in various areas

-there are a lot of nice parks you can freely hold events, take pictures at, or just go to for fun and spontaneous visits!

-mission inn is really nice and has a lot of cute shops

-at UCR, i love my senior class. they're awesome <3 i miss hanging out with a lot of them. now that we're all older, most of us are serving and barely have time to meet up with each other unless it involves ministry. it's so sad. i VALUE the time i get to talk to each and every one of them. even seeing them is special :O]

-ministries here have grown me sooo much and my spiritual walk has spiraled up in a humongous way. i look at Riverside fondly because this is where i have done so much of my spiritual and mental growth.

-driving at night with my windows rolled down [including sunroof!] and feeling the wind breeze on through (and if you drive on iowa, you smell the orange trees. so YUM)

-i love being so close to all my friends [cause we all live fairly close to campus verses if we were at our respected homes]

-in Riverside, i have been treated to so many meals :O) thanks to all who fed my stomach well.

i can keep listing things but yeah it's great in Riverside! woooo!!!
