heart of a hog

“How lucky am I to have something which makes saying goodbye so hard?”



Who knew that I would actually cry tears over the end of my college career? Well, it happened.

Last Wednesday the sun literally set on my college career at the University of Arkansas.  The most gorgeous full moon you’ve ever laid eyes on was giving our campus this extra perfect glow when I walked out of the final for my night class – my last assignment ever at the U of A.  I took a victory lap around campus just to feel all the feels one more time.


It is impossible to express the positive experience that I’ve had here at the University of Arkansas. 

In four years I’ve changed into a totally different person.  It’s crazy to think who I would be without this experience.  The Lord used certain people, places, trials, and and triumphs to stretch me much more than I ever would have expected or asked for – but I am so glad He did.

I could go on for days about those experiences, all of them running across my mind as I type this goodbye letter, but it would take forever.  I guess I’ll save the stories for my grandkids. ;)

THANK YOU to the University of Arkansas administration, faculty, staff, to Chi Omega advisors and friends, to the Student Alumni Board, the Student Government, the Communication and Journalism Department, Cross Church Fayetteville, Fellowship Fayetteville, and the special mentors along the way.  Thank you, Mom and Dad, for the opportunity to do college so boldly…it’s all because of your love and support! I am “Maggie” because of each of you. 


 I am forever indebted to the University of Arkansas and Fayetteville for the growth I’ve experienced in four short (tooooo short) years.  So much pride in being a member of the Razorback family - forever and ever!  Pig til I die.

XOXO,
