SS: A walk down memory lane.

Maybe it was a foreshadowing when I absolutely fell in love with High School Musical in what, the seventh grade?

Pre-clarification: I LOVE college. I really really do. I love that my homework is reading books that I find absolutely fascinating. I love meeting all these new people, and it is endless fun times. 

But there was just something about high school that captured my heart. & by Senior year I had a new dream. Someday I wanted to be the High School student council advisor and Cross Country coach. & that would be my dream come true. (Along with traveling the world that is..) 

Because turns out that obsession with HSM grew into more than a love for the movie, I loved high school and it did hold a special place in my heart. The people, the experiences, the absolutely awful times and the most amazing ones. 

Doing gymnastics through my sophomore year, my absolutely amazing team, and running home in tears the day I quit. Mid-way through sophomore year when my heart got broken, I thought I didn't have friends and I hit an all-time low. Making student council for the first time, the friendships I began to form. My amazing girl friends and the friendship we had. 

Training with the XC team and my older brother the summer before Junior year, a cute little summer fling, student council, more amazing friendships, crying my way through calculus and chemistry, becoming best friends with the most amazing faculty any school has ever had, and also the greatest group of boys. Planning prom, falling in love, becoming President, my amazing student council, the XC and track team, and that summer holding some of the happiest memories of my life. Between nights at the water tower and staying late after early morning runs with the cute Juniors on the team. 

& then Senior year and everything that came through it, the rock bottoms, the growth of being President and strengthening new friendships. The legendary PG dances and more PG pride than anything at every one of those state football and basketball games. 

I'm Brittney McArthur and I loved high school. 

But I'm Brittney McArthur, and college is already proving equally as amazing opportunities. 

This life is amazing. There's no doubt that God wants us to be happy. & that's one thing I know more than anything else. He wants us to be happy. & that's just one beautiful aspect of this true amazing gospel on the earth today.
