Patterns

There are a few things I've noticed about myself throughout the past few days, months, and years. Some of these patterns I've developed I like and I dislike. For example, I have a pattern of misinterpreting first impressions of people..some of the people I didn't "like" at first are now some of my best friends. I have a pattern of working best at the last minute. I have a pattern of not making my bed in the morning. You get the point.

This past week I found out I would be living in Adams Dorm for the 3rd year out of 4 years here at APU. Many people switch around their living places, and possibly never live in the same place twice while at APU. This is not the case for me. In fact, this is a very rare situation for students here. My freshman year I lived in Adams, and then moved in to the apartments my sophomore year. For my third year, I was selected to be a Resident Advisor in Adams AND for the grand finale, my dear friend (who I agreed to live with next year) was selected to be a Resident Advisor in Adams next year. Does anyone else see a pattern?

I laughed knowing I would be back in the same place again next year. Especially as I have spent so many years making memories in this building. Each place holds a special memory. I have spent anniversaries, birthdays, sleepovers, making new friends, engagements, fire alarms, move-ins, and move-outs. It's all happened here. I love what this building has been for me, during my college life. 

Looking forward to another year as an Adams girl!
