College sure knows how to bog a student down! I have many many updates to share. But I want to recollect everything in chronological order. So allow me to tell you through photos:
Some classic scenic photos of Spokane:
The before-after process of my dorm room:
Got to attend my first wedding! The bride was proposed to last year during a football game in October. So I went with a couple of other cheerleaders to this beautiful wedding:
 |
| The Asians got to matching in navy blue dresses! |
 |
| The Bride and I. |
Went to another stunt festival in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho!
Had a mini-stunt fest at Gonzaga University with the Gonzaga cheerleaders! I didn't get photos of my stunting, but these two are what I got!
 |
| A cute little house near the Gonzaga campus. |
Whitworth's Fancy Feast with my freshmen teammates!
All Tied Up event with my RA (resident's assistant), my roommate, and our next-door neighbors!
 |
| Big chocolate mousse ice cream concoction at the Coeur d'Alene Resort! |
My family got to come up and visit me during Whitworth's Homecoming weekend!
A visit to Greenbluff is a Fall tradition at Whitworth! These ladies are part of my hall in my dorm.
 |

At Whitworth, there is a little tradition where you have a small bucketlist to complete in order to graduate. I got to complete the hardest item one rainy day.
 |
I caught a virgin pinecone [a pinecone that has not touched the ground)! I heard it crack in a pine tree, and I stuck my left hand out with my mug of coffee in it and I caught it perfectly!
The other two items in the bucketlist (known as "The Little Three") are to accidentally drop a plate in the dining hall, and to accidentally get hit in the head with a frisbee. |
I got a Siamese fighting fish (better known as a betta) and named him Hank!
Took a few typical fall photos.
 |
| Got these boots for $11 and the stockings for $6 at Burlington Coat Factory! The stockings came with a solid black pair as well. Love bargains! |
 |
| Whitworth featured this photo on Facebook! I was so excited. I called this one 'Leafblower Arrangements' on Instagram. |
Dressed up as a black bunny for Halloween with my teammate, Sara!
Whitworth Cheer got to perform at Midnight Madness!
 |
| Close-up on me and Sara and our makeup and hair! |
Here is a
link to our Midnight Madness performance! I am the black #15. I start off as the left back tuck basket and then I am the right lib to heel-stretch, and then the middle layer for the pyramid stunts.
Whitworth Cheer made the front page of the Whitworthian (college newspaper):
 |
| There I am to the right in the black #15 jersey! |
Accomplished the standing scorpion pose (it's a yoga position):
And these are from Whitworth's first basketball game against D'Youville!
 |
| Braced extension with our freshman male cheerleader, David, under me! |
 |
| Heel stretches! Mine could be a lot better, but I'm still feeling quite accomplished. |
Some ending things that are the most exciting things that I do not have a photo for:
1. I got accepted to go on a service-learning trip to Eden, Jamaica over my spring break at the end of March!
2. I also accepted an internship offer with Fruci and Associates, PS in downtown Spokane for a tax season internship! It's a paid internship and I get to work with CPAs.
I will try to keep this blog more updated with better planning. I cannot wait for this semester to end so I can get on with my internship and my service-learning trip in the Spring.
