Ring Day Weekend

Well, sorry I have taken so long to write this. I know it is long overdue, but somehow life has gotten in the way of my blog! 

As many of you may know, I am a student a Texas A&M university, which makes me a very proud Aggie. It is tradition, that when a student completes 90 credit hours, they may receive their class ring. The Aggie ring is a symbol of hard work, dedication, many long nights of studying, but also enjoying your college years, and the honor it is to be part of the Aggie family. 

After waiting almost three years, my day had finally come to order that fine piece of gold I have worked so hard for. It was worth the wait, because that day was wonderful! 

I am so blessed that my entire family was able to make it to my ring day, and make it all the more special to me! I was honored to have my older brother, who graduated from A&M in 2012, present me with my ring. It was an unforgettable memory I will never forget.  Ring day was such a joyful time being able to reflect on all the memories I have made over the past three years here, and realize there is still so much I want to do before I graduate, which I am realizing is approaching much more quickly than I really want it to! 

I was also blessed to be able to share this day with one of my very best friends, Brittany, who was such a trooper taking all my pictures for me, and just being a good sport about all the craziness that is Ring Day. I love you so much Brittany, and thanks again so much for coming to support and celebrate with me! 

After receiving the ring, a few AFC friends and I had a Ring Dunk party. This is also a crazy A&M tradition, that is when you receive your ring you are to dunk it in a glass pitcher filled with your beverage of choice. (I chose lemonade!) The pitchers are about 60 oz, which is way more than it sounds when you are the one dunking. Needless to say, I wore a poncho and may or may not have spilled some (most) of it. It was fun to laugh about and I'm glad I can say I did it. Would I do it again? Definitely not. 

Ring Day was everything I had hoped it would be and more. It was so much fun being able to celebrate with friends and family, and just enjoy ourselves before the end of semester hecticness set it. 

I am so blessed to be an Aggie. I thank God everyday that He has allowed me to be apart of this incredible university and meet so many wonderful people who have changed my life completely.

Receiving my Aggie ring is one of my most favorite memories at Texas A&M. Thanks to everyone who has helped me to achieve this goal. 

Next step, GRADUATION!
