Joys and Journeys of Freshman Year by Carlee Smith

Best Friends!

csmith02_9 — 2024-04-29 20:14:52 UTC

Since coming to college, I have met my absolute best friends, Brookie (Brooklyn), Libby, and B (Brookelynn). These three have been my pillars of support and the makers of my best memories from this year. Their charisma ensures every moment is filled with laughter. Together, we have figured out how to navigate the highs and lows of college with an unbreakable bond, turning the bad days into good and turning every adventure into an unforgettable moment.

Free Time!

csmith02_9 — 2024-04-29 21:12:54 UTC

During my free time, you will often find my friends and me hopping in the car, going on long drives to nowhere, just soaking in our small amount of free time. We usually take a detour to grab a quick drink or a bite to eat. When not driving, we find ourselves outside coming up with more dumb rules to the game "hacky sack." Another fun activity we have picked up this year has been bowling! It's always a fun time and gives us a break from other stressors. These moments are so special and genuine. We share laughs together with a side of smack talk:) When we feel a little more tired than usual, we usually hang out in my room!

Day in my Life!

csmith02_9 — 2024-05-01 03:33:51 UTC

A typical day in my life revolves around softball and studying. I dedicate my time to my passion for softball, whether that means going to team practice or working on my own. Finding a balance between academic and athletic life is challenging; however, finishing my things while working in the library is easier. As I mentioned earlier in my presentation, I often go on drives when I have free time, but that comes with the consequence of losing my parking spot, so I usually find myself walking from the street back to Guad.

YAY, base running practice :/

My Choice!

For my choice, I took most of these photos at Priest River in Idaho, which is right outside of Deer Park, Washington. I decided to take them here because it was our last trip together before we leave for summer. The location was super pretty, and I thought I could get some decent photos there!
