The Luckiest

I just want to start this blog off by saying THANK YOU. There are so many people that this goes out to. The list goes from my freshman roommate down to the people that I just saw walking to class every day. Every person in my 4 years here have molded me into who I am today. Even a random person that smiled as we walked past each other has made an impact in my life at college.
