To all my St. Lawrence homies (post-grad or not), I love you and hope you are all doing just dandy! It has been almost 6 months to the day (come November 22nd) and it feels weird to be out in the real world trying to figure out what it is I will be doing for the foreseeable future. The puzzle pieces are starting to fit into their respective places as I will moving out to Colorado in 9 days to start teaching some undoubtedly amazing and talented little skiers kids at Winter Park Resort for the upcoming winter season. I am really excited to get out there and start making a life for myself out there as I plan to live out there after the season ends as the mountains are my home and where I feel free to be myself and let all my worries and anxieties go! 

I miss the SLU atmosphere of being able to meet up with some of your best friends that can and will last a lifetime in almost the blink of an eye due to the comfortably small size of the campus. I miss being able to walk a couple minutes to the go see some awesome music at the amazing Java Barn! I miss the beautiful seasons that would naturally occur on campus. It would all start with the leafy green summers when we would all arrive on campus in late August to the breathtaking Instagram posts that would take over all of our social media feeds to the first of many snowfalls of the year and even the -30 degree weather we would have to endure during those long winter months. That is what makes the St. Lawrence community and experience so special. It is the fact that each and every one of us would be able to experience the beauty that is St. Lawrence and the greater North Country together as a unit, as a family!

I miss so much more than the select few things I mentioned so to all those SLUzers still there having the time of their lives, please live it up!! Do not be afraid to try new things, join a club/organization, take an obscure class, just get out of your comfort zone, go hiking and skiing/snowboarding as much as you can, go to Java or even the Tick Tock regardless of how cold it is but stay warm and healthy! The more things you explore and try, the more likely you will find your niche and find what motivates you to get out of bed in the morning and make the world a better place! Live your life, love your life and treat people with respect! Also, do not hesitate to email or connect with any SLU grads in an industry you are interested in as 9.9/10 we are more than willing to help you out in whichever way we can!
