Always a Scrollie

Throughout college, I worked on my college newspaper, Scroll. I never thought how much of an impact it would be, even giving me a nickname and a career. The nickname is, of course, Scrollie. Anyone who has worked for the paper there has this nickname, giving us all an identity and bonds us. So when a reunion was planned for all the Scrollies, I knew I would regret not going. So I piled my friend Tammy plus Adam and Emily and Nate in to the car for a drive up to Rexburg.

What a wave of nostalgia! Even though it's been less than a year since I've been there, I came for another reason. I walked up to the Spori Building with Tammy and remembered months and years of making that same trek for classes, church and work. Looking back now, I didn't take nearly as many pictures as I should have. It was still fun running into my old cohort in crime Jade Swartzburg who began Scrollie life with me, or my teachers and advisers who encouraged and taught me, or former coworkers who started their Scrollie life with me as their editor.

Poor Adam - I dragged him all over Rexburg too visiting with other dear friends of mine like Cara Hafen, Heather Morrison, Monica Saunders and Katie Harrison. It made me realize how lucky I am to count these girls as my friends still!

This was how he was most of the time.
