Last Minute, Life Changing Decision

So this April, when I left BYU, I swore I was NOT coming back. I was going to be a bronco at BSU and get my bachelor's degree in social work...

I was semi-excited, nervous, and just flat out scared to start school in Boise. I would have to make new friends, figure out how to get around on campus, and find a new job... :/

My mom and I were talking one day and she told me it would be smarter if I had just stayed at BYU, because I would be done faster...[me being the stubborn child I am, disregarded anything she said]... but I started looking at all the classes I would have to take before I even applied to the program, and then once and if I was accepted into it... I started to realize my mom was right, but brushed those thoughts off as fear...

I took my friend Julie with me to Utah last week... [oooh i can blog about that!!!] anyways... we went to Utah, and I couldn't ignore the feelings anymore. I needed to come back to Utah. I saw all my old college friends and as I did started thinking....

To myself I said: Alison, you have 48 credits left to get your bachelor degree... You could get a bachelor degree and be started and mostly finished on your masters [from BYU] before you would get you bachelor degree from BSU. Not to mention, BYU is cheaper....Your family loves BYU, and even though you deny it, YOU love BYU too. Ok, yes I did just admit I love BYU. I guess I always have bled BLUE!

So I texted my mom who should've been on her way home from work, asking her if I could come back and of course she said YES! So i talked to my bishop, got my ecceliastical endorsement worked out, and am now just waiting on the honor code office to receive it and I can register for classes!!!!!!!! COUGAR TOWN HERE I COME!!!
