My Special Event During this year’s Vanderbilt game (homecoming), my parents are coming to visit me for only the second time since I have been at UF. My dad has been to a Gator football game before (ironically, the infamous 2005 Vandy game) but my mom has never been. And since neither were went to big football schools, they have never experienced a true college game day. Since game days are such big deals here in Gainesville, I am excited for them to come and see all that goes on. I LOVE being a Gator and I’m glad they will finally get to see what its like to be in a stadium full of thousands and thousands of people dressed in orange and blue all cheering for the same team.

My Life Goals Please write three goals you have for life in general. Goals are things you want to happen this year. Goals are promises you make to yourself. You will be working towards these goals all year. 1. To do well on the GRE and get into grad school (Yay Proteach!) 2. To balance school and work and not freak out about how much I have on my plate. 3. To have an AMAZING senior year with some of the greatest friends I have.
