Roll Tide Forever!

For the entirety of my senior year, I refused to acknowledge my inevitable, impending graduation. Yet May 7th, 2022 still came. It is so hard to celebrate the end of college, something I wished would never end. However, it is so incredibly easy to celebrate the people in my life that supported me through the last four years, and all the amazing relationships formed at The University of Alabama.

My Family

Thank you, thank you, thank you to my entire family for supporting me throughout my time at Alabama. My mom, stepdad, and siblings drove from Florida and my dad flew from Massachusetts, all to help me move out of my sorority house and cheer me on at graduation. I could not have survived moving so far from home for school if it weren't for my family! The flights, rental cars, moving boxes, storage units, and road trips were all worth it! I am so grateful for every phone call and text celebrating my wins, comforting me in my losses, directing me when I'm lost, and listening when I just needed to vent.

& an extra thank you to all my family members that couldn't make it for graduation! I am so blessed to have countless grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins that have encouraged me throughout the last four years, visited Tuscaloosa to make memories of a lifetime, and have cheered on the Tide from afar.

My Friends

The University of Alabama gave me the most intentional, honest, encouraging, enthusiastic, patient, bold, loving friendships. These relationships were the answer to so many prayers, and I am forever grateful.

Blair, thank you for coming from Georgia to make sure my last night in the house wasn't spent alone! Our friendship is a gift, and even though we only had two years together at Alabama I will be thanking my lucky stars for the rest of my life for that precious time.

Serena, thank you for being my dream roommate and forever friend! Alabama would never have been the same if I hadn't had you as my roommate in Tut. I'm so grateful you pull me out of my shell and make the most of every day. Thank goodness we'll have each other in Nashville!
