Today is my last day*, so naturally I am looking back on the summer. My first day feels like yesterday but also like forever ago. So much has happened over these past months. I’ve trained for a marathon, visited the Ben & Jerry’s factory, found many new swimming holes, and went to prom.

I met many new friends and developed old relationships. I saw fireworks and beautiful mountain sunsets. I ate a lot, tried new things, and all in all had a wonderful time.

Not everything went perfectly. I’ve been eaten alive by bugs. Plants are not my friend. I liked someone, but it didn’t pan out.

I’m thankful for a great summer with some pretty amazing interns and admissions counselors. I couldn’t have done it without them. Maybe someday we will learn how to take a jumping photo. 

* I’m giving a tour tomorrow and I’ll be back after orientation to work in the office. This isn’t a goodbye.
