Top Ten Accomplishments: College Edition, 24 and older

College is one thing where I have given it my all. In all that I've done, I've been doing things 120% with a few exceptions. I have been going full-force and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Without further adieu, the top 10 college accomplishments (in no particular order, 24 and older):
1. winning the spirit of Boise State and the volunteer of the year: these awards mean a lot to me. I have structured my life in college around volunteering and being the best example and advocate that I can be.
2. the 100,000,000/6,000/1,000/700/200 club: as far as I know, since I've been at the REC, I'm the exclusive member of the 100,000,000 lbs. lifted, 6,000 laps swam, 1,000 points scored in ball, 700 laps ran, and 200 hours in exercise classes club. there will be hard-pressed to be another individual in this club.
3. getting on the dean's list unofficially for 4 terms and missing it unofficially by less than 0.3 of a grade point in three others: this shows academic fortitude and stellar significance in conduct to academia. a true test of character and study habits, especially with all that I do.
4. moving into self-direction: better all the way around and all of my skills are better. that whole self-direct piece says it all.
5. my great achievements in self-advocacy: this has been my biggest piece of love and energy outpouring the last 2 1/2 years. it also has been the most tiring and time-consuming, but I'm glad to have done it.
6. decorating my apartment at the Springs to make it look like a studio: this shows great love and fortitude and honoring of space. it makes it look amazing.
7. overcoming my fear of heights by stockpiling outdoor activities that are awesome: not necessarily a recommendation, but the fears were overcome, I made friends, and I enjoyed these things enough to explore doing most of them again. it was a great ride.
8. going to Jamaica: this was an amazing service project. I will have memories, good and bad, for the rest of my life.
9. getting close to my 5-gallon pin for blood donation: this is a true test of dedication and love for helping out individuals and shows fortitude and excellence in what I do. it is a great accomplishment.
10. loving to run and doing so faithfully: while I limit my race schedule substantially, running is an amazing activity for me. I have practiced plenty of times and I feel like this could almost be a lifetime sport for me.
