Reasons I Love SD:
- My roommates are a blast. No joke. Rashauna is 21 and very artsy and outdoorsy. She is a runner and does yoga every week. She is entertaining to talk to. Paige is 19 and we share a room. We always talk about our days and the latet happenings in our ward. We crack each other up. Monica is 19 also, and is Rashauna's sister. She is really cool also, and is good to talk to about guys. She is usually gone at night because she has a bf now, so I always talk to her when she's home.
- Sunny, sunny weather! Even now it is cooling down, but that just means brings a sweatshirt at night and it might rain so you can wear jeans instead of shorts if you want.
- The beach. I want to live by the ocean for the rest of my life.
- Having a revolving tan/sunburn. I will probably be only using our hot tub because we are headed into fall, but I'm hoping to keep my tan up. I don't have a farmer's tan anymore ha, and my legs aren't just tan from the knee down. Gotta love swimming a lot.
- We have a cool ward. Everyoe is a little bit older, but we have a good group of friends we hang out with on the weekends. Our bishop is really great, and really cares about all of us individually. I am ward pianist, which is still slightly nerve-wracking.
- Our apartment is the party apartment, and is jut plain cool. We have a washer and dryer in the apartment, plus a little porch with a table and chairs and a hammock chair, plus a fireplace that doesn't get used, a mantle, two bathrooms, and a pool and hot tub in the complex. Every Sunday we have Sunday dinner at our house and make the main course and then all our pals brings something. We have also had several game nights at our house. Sometimes our friends come over and we go sit in the hot tub. Basically, I love having the house where everone is comfortable coming. That's how is was growing up.
- There is a really cool nature park up the road. I like to go read and write letters there.
- Having wifi in our apartment is really nice, but also very easy to waste time when you're bored.
- The endless things to do in this giant city. There is about 6 or 7 college that just I know of, so there is many things to do. SDSU is right up the road and we see lots of sorority girls and frat boys which is really funny, and makes me feel like I'm in a movie.
- I get quite a few free meals. Way more than the average college student I would say. A lot of Monday mornings we get free breakfast at IKEA, free lunch and dinner at Institute on Wednesdays, free lunch on Fridays at Institute, and Sunday dinner is pretty much free-ish. Every time we eat at Institute there is ice cream, which is the best thing ever. Also, Monica's bf Tyler is really good friends with us and we go to his family's house every week and his mom always feeds us. She is an awesome cook. The night that the power went out here, we went to Tyler's house and had grilled chicken, corn on the cob, and red velvet cake balls. Loved it.
