{9} BYU Experience
BYU has been an interesting experience. I came from a small town where everyone knows everyone, to BYU where even by the end of the semester you still don't know most of the people sitting in class around you. While it's been nice to get away and be able to start new with no one knowing me, it has also been hard to not have people around me that know my life story and know who I am, where I came from and why I am the way that I am. At first it was lonely here in Provo. I felt like I didn't have anyone to talk to about the things that are important to me because no one understands who I am. Since I have roommates, they helped to lessen that feeling of loneliness since roommates have a self-proclaimed duty to find out your every dream, secret and fear. Needless to say, they now know more about me than most people that have known me my entire life. Once I realized that these crazy roommates of mine are in fact here to be my strength, I realized how very much I am not alone. Somehow by having them here I also realized that God has my back too. He's never gone unless I want Him gone. I don't know why I was so worried about not having anyone here that knew me, but I was and I was wrong. God (and it seems my roommates too) is everywhere. Once I realized how present God's hand is in my life, I see His work in everything. And I am not alone.
I can relate to how you felt when you first came to BYU. I came from a high school with 39 in my graduating class. It was a bit intimidating. But I like how you realized that you did have support. I would suggest to add a pictures of your roommates doing something fun together. Showing your strong relationship. But I really like the color choice you have.
