It's Already Time for School?

I don't know where the last month went! As I look back it's basically one big blur of work, campfires, sports (and me totally and hilariously failing at them), friends, mosquito bites, and school prep. And now school is starting in a week.

I've always loved back to school season. It's full of crisp things: crisp sheets of paper, binders, and folders; crisp leaves; a crispness in the morning air. . . It's bright and exciting and full of potential.

This is going to be my junior year at BYU and I think I finally know a bit more what to expect. Sure, there are going to be a few curveballs and surprises thrown my way (such is the way of life), but I'm familiar with my school and how things work there. Which is nice, if I'm being honest.

I know that this year is going to be crazy and busy and probably more than a little exhausting. But I also know that it is going to be exhilarating and amazing and absolutely fulfilling. There is nothing else I would rather be doing for the next nine months than going to school. BYU is where I'm supposed to be.

My freshman year was a year of change: I learned a lot (and not much of it came out of my textbooks). I made new friends and send most of them on missions. I adjusted to living away from home, albeit not far, for the first time in my life. I can't imagine who I would be had my freshman year not been the way it was.

My sophomore year was one of growth. I learned a lot more and made a few more friends. I came to know who this girl named Cambry is, and I was able to see that I have a lot that I need to work on. I love who I am and I can't wait to meet the person I'll become. It wasn't an easy year, but I am so grateful for everything I experienced--good and bad--because those experiences had a profound impact on the person I am today.

And now it's time for my junior year. I don't yet know what this year will be but I'm excited to find out. I think it's gonna be a good one.
