How to be a Dean Lister!

This is so lazy of me because we've been SO busy the last couple days. I'm totally excited to post this and you can make fun of me and judge all you want :) I made the DEANS LIST!!! Yes, this would be the first time for me. I work very hard for my grades and so when something like this comes along I pat myself on the back!

Yes thank you thank you. I'm such a dilligent student. Coming a long way in the last four years! School has been something I've always wanted to do! Freshman year just headed to DMACC to figure out what I wanted. Then sophmore year brought me to Iowa City to be a Hawkeye then Brinn Burger brought me home to ISU. Which I want to remind you all... I cheer for the Hawks and study for the clones... that doesn't mean I'm a clone. Born and raised a Hawk... no turning for me so don't even try!

 Now finally on the last stretch of school it is bitter sweet finishing up will be great but then finding a job will be tough! However, I know God's got a plan for me and He will use me as He pleases!  Thank you Mom and Dad for raising me and sending me to school and PAYING FOR IT! That is such a great blessing I'm so much more thankful for these days then I probably was that Freshman year :) Like my mom always said... They can take your house and everything you OWN but they can't take your degree :) Love you all and thanks everyone for your support and help throughout all of my college career!!! Yay almost done!
