I graduated!

On Friday May 8th I graduated! I received a bachelor of science is business management.

 

Right after I accepted my diploma two of my favorite teachers were there to congratulate us.

My family was amazing throughout the years and they have all shown me so much support.

I seriously could not have done it without these guys. We were all in the same program and had basically every class together, I'm going to miss seeing their faces everyday, but they will all go on and do such great things. 

This girl is seriously one of the best people in know. We both love to read blogs and we love the same shows. I wish we had became friends earlier on, we had so many classes together without even knowing it!

Cassie and I spent our entire last summer doing our internships at Macy's together. We aren't in the same program but we bumped into each other lining up. It's always so fun to catch up with her!

Scott and I have had a few classes together too, and have been on quite a few adventures. 

Cotopaxi Questival

After learning about Cotopaxi's "Questival" last year I knew it was something I had to this year; I just had to find the right team on board. So I asked my roommate Caitlin and we got two of our friends Scott and Emilio, then we recruited Collin a few days before the big race. If you aren't familiar with the Questival it is a giant 24 hour scavenger hunt type race where you take pictures doing different tasks. The list consisted of about 300 challenges spanning all of Utah and even in California.

Here's how we did it.

Thursday night the challenge list was released so Caitlin and I began color coordinating our list location specific tasks, object specific tasks, and tasks that could be done anywhere. I also created a google map that showed had a pin at every location that list required so we wouldn't miss anything. Later that night Scott and Collin came over to help us strategize and tie up all the loose ends. Friday we went on our day as normal then around five we met up and began our journey to the kick off party.

Here's some of the pictures we took during those 24 hours.

This is my favorite picture we took

When the race ended at 7:00 we were in first place! However, with all the outside judging after the race ended we finished in 16th. We were stilled thrilled because 500 teams competed and we were in it for the fun. Being it first just made it extremely exciting.

This was the very last picture of the day that pretty much summed up what we were ready for.
