• I finished three years in an organization that challenged me and allowed me many wonderful opportunities and lasting friendships.
• I was interviewed on the local news station after sitting in on a Warren Buffet live interview.
• I took the trip of a lifetime to London, England.  I visited Oxford, Cambridge, Windsor, Warwick Castle and Stratford upon Avon as well.  Seven months later, and I still can't believe that really happened.

• I saw Justin Bieber in concert.
• I became Director of Social Events for my sorority.
• I saw Martina McBride in concert, for free.
• I represented my sorority during formal recruitment, my first and last year on chapter side. I designed the Facebook graphics and the name tags for each night. I also pref'd my rush crush, who joined my chapter. (Crossed this off my senior year bucket list).
• I went "back to school" for the last time, as I started my last year of college.
• I saw Florida Georgia Line in concert.
• I got a weekly show on the campus radio station, dream fulfilled from my freshman year of college. (Another item crossed off my senior year bucket list).

• I fulfilled my dream of designing a published CD cover.
• I planned a very successful Date Party and Formal for my position in my sor ority.  90s-themed Date Party and Royal Affair themed Formal.

• I ran a mile without stopping for the first time in my life.
• I saw Hunter Hayes in concert.
• I attended ZTA Father/Daughter Day with my dad.

• The Jonas Brothers broke up officially.  Yes, this deserves a place on this list.

I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes. Romans 1:16

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.
Hebrews 6:19

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
Isaiah 40:31
