I'm gonna miss this...


It is absolutely amazing how quickly time flies by. When I was five years old, I remember waiting around on things for what felt like FOREVER, and today, my only wish is that they could slow back down. Two years ago, I was nervously anticipating a week long process of interviews. Little did I know that the results of those interviews would change the direction of the rest of my college experience. After becoming a War Eagle Girl, I was welcomed into a group unlike any other. This group is so unique, and I know it will be the most special thing I will remember from college....and not for the reasons most would think. Yes, we have gotten to participate in some pretty cool assignments, but the one thing I will always treasure is the relationships that are formed from being a member in this group. WEGP is family. These 24 people have become some of my very best friends. We share a common bond formed through our love of Auburn and for each other. I will never forget that first night at callouts, retreats at Camp Mac, our first road trip to "P-Cola", the very first time I stood on the field in Jordan Hare Stadium, away game trips, "car twister," Christmas parties, family visits, meetings in Lowder, and deep conversations with some of the most amazing people I have ever met. Its how I met my roommates, my best guy friends, and became a part of a "blonde, brunette, and red head triple threat!" And I feel like the whole thing just flew by. We are moving on, and a new group is moving in. I will miss the easy conversations and endless laughs with the people who have become my family here at Auburn. And although I am very excited to begin a new chapter in my life, I must admit it will be a little strange walking ahead without a guy in an orange jacket there to escort me as I go :)
