During my time at Ouachita the Lord taught me so much and blessed me every step of the way. I'm so thankful for the people that got me here and the precious friendships made along the way❤️

Man oh man am I glad the Lord delivered when I asked for solid, intentional friendships my freshman year. I couldn't imagine my time at Ouachita without these ladies and am so excited to see what He has in store next!! Plus, they still let me tag along every now and then even after they found out that I don't like Bruno Mars. That's true friendship right there!
