Growing up, when I thought about b
eing a college graduate, I thought I would be smarter or feel older. I feel neither. But I am relieved to have this chapter over. I love to learn, but it will be nice to experience life without school since it is all I have known.Graduating is bitter-sweet. I have loved Utah State University and college life. Sometimes, when I walk on campus, I think of things that I will miss about this chapter of my life. Here they are, in no particular order:
- Ambassadors - I have {loved} ambassadors. It really was the best part of my experience at Utah State...if only I could have been groomed to be a professional and remained an ambassador for life!
- The preacher outside of the TSC
- The professor who rides his unicycle around
- Koch Scholars - 2nd best experience of USU
- The beauty of campus. Everytime I am up on campus I get a rewarding sense of nature. It really is the most beautiful campus
- Living in the basement of Rex & Edna (90 and 87 years old). We love them so much and will miss talking to them each day. I will not miss the 2x2 shower that constantly springs up mold, changes temperature whenever it wants, and won't let me bend down to shave my legs.
- Learning - I LOVE TO LEARN
- Friends - so many dear friendship made, lost, rekindled. I will never forget my "bosom" friends
- The garage that Sam Nef and I lived in and all the memories that accompany it
- Basketball games - can't get any better
- Football games - could get better
- Teaching fitness classes to students
- Truly becoming myself and finding out who I am and what I want
- Aggie Ice Cream - Blue mint I love you!
- Giving Tours
- My nose hairs freezing as I walk to class in the winter. Then my nose becoming a faucet as it thaws.
- Getting stopped by the missionaries all the time! Do I not look like a member?
- Becoming a TRUE AGGIE
- BECOMING AN ULTIMATE AGGIE
- BEING ABLE TO FINISH IT ALL OFF WITH MY BEST FRIEND AND LOVER and GET TO GRADUATE AND WALK ACROSS THE STAGE WITH HIM!

You're an ULTIMATE AGGIE? Sarah, how did I not know this? Utah State really is the best!
Sarah, I have tears in my eyes after reading this! both from laughing and feeling the same way as you! You will always be one of my bosom friends ;) Love you!
I thought an ultimate Aggie was something illegal? Is Garrett one too! Really maybe I am wrong inwhat it means. Utah State will always hold a special place in our hearts
Good Ole Utah State! I'm with you Sarah! Love MOST things about it! :) And it really is where my dreams came true! :) Congrats you guys!
Congratulations Sarah!
Hi Sarah!
Your blog is super cute! You lived below Rex and Edna? How lucky! I grew up in that ward and I love all those old couples so much.
Hey, I don't know if you'll still be around, but we're throwing a baby shower for JoAnna next Wednesday, the 12th. We took the easy way out and are just sending e-invites. If you can come, will you send me your email and I'll send you an invite? It would be fun to see you!

Sarah.. are you sure you have to graduate? But then you are leaving right? I am so proud of you! Your college memories sounded amazing, and you can tell that you grew a lot and learned a lot. This post just makes me so happy. Have fun walkin' this Saturday!
I'm glad you put fitness on there because that is how you made my experience @ USU the best & I'm not even a student! How do you become an ultimate aggie?
