So one time, a long time ago, I laid in my room in Jackson Hole and cried because I didn't want to leave home. Then last night, I laid in my room in Logan and cried because I didn't want to leave this home either. I have learned so much about myself at Utah State and met so many amazing, amazing people that have changed my life. And I wasn't even there for that long. But Utah State is seriously the greatest school. The greatest.
Because it was Finals Week, we didn't have any classes and so I spent a lot of time in the library, along with what seemed like the entire Aggie student body. I think that the hardest thing about this week (besides taking my chem final) was that it was a lot of "lasts" and saying a lot of goodbyes, especially because I won't be back to USU until Fall 2018. So here's a quick little toast to all the people that I had to say goodbye to this week and a toast to my amazing freshman year Utah State.
Grateful for my last lunch date with my Biggie & Twinner
and for them always cheering me on.

Grateful for the Logan temple being three minutes away from my apartment and being able to do over 230 names in the temple this year. Grateful for roomies that are the best temple buddies.
Grateful for Logan Canyon being less than a minute from campus and being the host of many, many, many adventures and photo shoots.

| I love this place |
Grateful for the Fierce Felicia's and can't even begin to put into words how lucky I feel to have been randomly assigned to live with them and don't even know what I would have done without them.
Grateful for Mickeggy & having him drag me into the lib on a daily basis to make me write papers and having random deep chats about life. Gbless Alpha Sigma Phi.
Grateful for Jackie Dean being the only person during Recruitment Week to dance in the rain with me and for being an amazing sister ever since then- random Chugz deliveries, puppy dog Snapchats, and Sister Deanlop. Grateful for Kappa Delta and teaching me so much about sisterhood, hard work, support, and genuine kindness in the seven months since I pledged. Grateful to Kappa Delta for all of the amazing and inspiring people that it has brought into my life.
Grateful to Snow #208 for it's amazing mattress, the Fierce Felicia's headquarters, and constant kitchen explosion mess from Josee and Sierra being the messiest and sloppiest people that I've ever met. And their constant noise. Another fun thing.
Grateful that I can fit all my belongings into the back of a Subaru and still have extra room. Grateful for an aux chord that got me through the Middle of Nowhere, Idaho on my drive home.
Grateful for Utah State for just a short little bit. Grateful to have a place full of people that makes saying goodbye so hard.
Bye Utah State, thank you for an amazing adventure and for teaching me so much about myself in the nine months that we got to hang out together. I'll see you Fall 2018 for another rocking time.
Go Aggies! I'll be right back.
Love, Caitie
