Hey blog, it’s ya girl, Gibz. It has been a HOT minute since the last blog and we have a lot to catch up on! December was a short month but gosh was it a sweet one! It was jam packed to the brim of fun activities, and reminiscing on the semester.
Group Date!
Ashley and Sam made December start off strong with the first ever ‘Platonic Group Date’. To say it was easily one of the most fun nights of fellows would be an understatement. It was so fun to get to know other fellow alums better and have a night of silly games, good conversation, and lots of laughs. Same time next year?
Fellowsgiving!
Just 2 days after a super fun night (the group date), we had another super fun event, Fellowsgiving. All of the fellows from years prior get together for a big potluck at Ashley’s house and it’s full of lots of laughs and so much fun. It makes me really excited for the young adult community I will be in after Fellows. I know that I will be in the most loving and kind group of young adults who already love me so well!
O.T on da beat
Meg and Maddie and I presented our Old Testament project last month. It wasn’t just any presentation. It was a rap. An amazing rap. A grammy nomination worthy rap. Coming to Spotify soon.
Our rap is entitled “Imago Dei”. If you’re lucky enough to find the video, count your blessings. You will never be the same after listening to it. True story. In all seriousness, I will miss our Old Testament class. I went into the class a little nervous that I wouldn’t enjoy it, but I really did learn so much. A big thank you to Ryan and Emily, Hayes, Cam, and Eric for teaching the class. We hoped you loved teaching as much as we loved having you.
ANGUS BARNNNNN
Yes, the Fellows went to Angus Barn. Crazy. Lit. Movie.
SECRET SANTA
Secret Santa was seriously the best part of the entire month. I was Maddie’s secret Santa and let me just say I had the BEST time elfing her. Thank you to all my minions, Linsey Wenk, Urvi Patel, and Eric Bolash for helping me out. My secret Santa on the other hand was the best surprise treat ever. My secret Santa was ROBIN VINCENT?! WOW what a freakin treat. I did not guess that one. I got the sweetest little gifts and notes throughout the month and felt so so SO loved by her throughout the whole process. Thank you to her minion, Hunter, for tying everything together <3
More Christmas Fun <3
December was tied all together with a pretty little bow with a Christmas party at the Comisky’s. Any excuse to dress up and take pictures while sipping cocktails with your friends is going to be taken advantage of.
What did God teach me this month?
The Lord revealed to me the importance of friendship this month. THIS is what I prayed for all throughout senior year of college! I prayed that this program would give me close and dear friends that would last for a lifetime, and I feel like I got just that. I also learned that I love learning about the old testament? I was SO #sad that O.T was coming to an end. But what a blessing to know that I can still learn so much and know people to ask and help me learn more!
December, you rock.
xoxo,
