Back to Reality

…Whoop, there goes gravity” Eminem lyrics for every occasion.

As of right now, I’m back in Utah. Tragic, really. I’m still a little bit in shock that the summer ended so quickly. But although I’m nervous about meeting my ward and making new friends, I feel really different going into this school year. I think I was still figuring out who I wanted to be last year, and it was difficult to be thrown into a situation with so much change when I wasn’t completely comfortable with myself.

I think I’ll always be transitioning into a new person and that human beings are never stagnant, but I have a better grasp on myself this year. I know that I’m capable of making friends and of handling the course load. I have a support system of you guys and I know that I already have people I’m excited to spend time with. And I know that I have a lot of good to bring to the people I meet. That’s very different than the scared girl who showed up at BYU last year. I wish I could tell her that it’s all going to work out and to stop comparing herself.

I hope that wasn’t too cheesy, but I feel like I’ve had a lot of growth, especially this summer. I’m sure there will still be moments of doubt but I’m staying positive!!

As an update, I went on a road trip to San Fransisco and camped in Yosemite, which was gorgeous.

I’ve also spent a lot of time with my El Paso friends. We went country dancing, which is something I’d love to do in Provo because there’s a place there. My sister and I went to a cat cafe and it was heavenly! I want a cat so bad! I’m sure you’ve never heard me say that before.

And tomorrow I get my wisdom teeth out. Ugh. I am not excited at all. But I have to recover super quickly and be ready to move in a few days later, so hopefully everything goes well.

Can’t wait to see most of you this week!

Lots of love, Eve
