“Change not only was inevitable, but usually brought its own rewards.” ― Nicholas Sparks

I heard it said that other than the first four years of our lives, the largest changes occur during college. Looking back as I head toward graduation, I decided to reflect on things that I did in the last four years that I never thought would happen or I'd do. The list is quite extensive and I've decided to share it on here. (These are in no particular order and I'm sure that there's more, but here's what I have so far. Please feel free to leave a comment if you can think of something I may have missed.)
