To start this off... its only appropriate to give a history on my life thus far. I am originally from a small town in southern Illinois, traveled to Oxford, Mississippi for undergrad at Ole Miss, and now I am currently in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for dental school at Marquette University.
Its been quite a journey and I have loved every minute of it.
The south was an amazing experience... I attended Debutants, added "y'all" to my vocabulary, joined a sorority, dressed up for tailgating and football games, and finally became somewhat attractive to the southern frat star "swoop". I learned manners, fashion, and how to walk in heels (kind of). I met the best friends I could have ever asked for and it's pretty depressing that now after graduation we only get to see each other on random holidays and weddings.
Quinn Eggesiecker is the weirdest/funniest/most amazing person I have ever met. She kept me sane all throughout undergrad and I couldnt have asked for a better friend. Roomies for three consequtive years, we learned everything there was to know about each other. We have been through great times as well as very hard times, and our friendship has done nothing but grow stronger. Lindsay Migely is the cutest little nugget I have ever seen. She was always there stressing out about school with me, cuddling with me on Sunday mornings when we were both hungover as could be, sharing coffee's together at the library and raging on the weekends (remember your black eye, Migs? haha). She is fortunately currently located in Chicago, so we are close enough to see each other a little more frequently. Thennnn theres Catherine (Berkeley) Dorroh. The most southern person I have ever met... seriously. Her twang is so thick you can barely understand her, she knows more details about the SEC than you would ever want to know, she is a southern lady and a shit show on the weekends. She was my first friend at Ole Miss and possibly one of the best friends I could have ever asked for.
Now that I am at Marquette, I have loved getting used to living in a city!! There is so much to see and do and there is never a dull moment. Dental school has been quite the experience and I have learned so much in a very short amount of time. Its one of those things where I am in lab for hours on end and absolutely exhausted and I will have one experience where I just get the feeling that "I am exactly where I am supposed to be". Can't ask for much more than that... well maybe less tests and more sleep but whatever. Dental school and Milwaukee has also allowed me to meet some amazing people. I have met the three best friends a girl could ask for (S-L-K) and its a great feeling knowing I have a family so far away from home.
Well, thats a little recap of my life and that's all for my first blog post!! Hope y'all enjoy!
that girl in the 3rd pic from top is a total babe, o wait, its me! haha, love you!
