ACCEPTED

I got my letter of acceptance today from the Visual Arts Department here at BYU. You're looking at the newest member of the photography program!! I've worked so hard and had this as a goal since mid-high school and I DID IT. I could not be happier at the moment. I'm feeling a weird mix of satisfaction and excitement—I accomplished a huge goal of mine today! I feel like I can conquer the world.

This blog post is also probably inspired by too many Buzzfeed distractions when I should be studying for finals, which in fact, I finished today—right before I got my letter.

I thought these GIFs could express my emotions a lot more accurately than words. Enjoy.

Guess what?

I was accepted into Brigham Young University last night! When I read the "congratulations" at the beginning of the letter, I pretty much felt like this:

Why thank you, Leo/Jay Gatsby/Jack Dawson. I feel pretty great right now, too.

More on my excitement about college to come soon, but for now, THE OSCARS ARE TOMORROW!
