Dear Freshman Year,

Oh buddy, do we have a lot to talk about. It’s been a while since we’ve last seen each other but I thought it was time for us to catch up. Now I’m not here to apologize for the craziness, tears, and arguments you witnessed but more so to talk about the good times.

For starters, I liked to tell you Thank You. Without you in my life I would have zero to talk about three years later and nothing to compare my mistakes to now. But don’t worry I’ve learned. On that note, thank you for letting me live and learn, A LOT, even when most of the times it seemed as if I was just living and not learning.

You paired me with some pretty great friends too. I never thought a group of 10+ girls could all be friends but strangely enough it all worked out. Now, some have come and gone, arguments here and there but hey that’s life not truly your fault. It’s all an experience.

Thank you for the countless memories too. Chasing after my drunken roommate in her slippers, breaking alarms to sneak boys in, pretending like drunk breakfast was gourmet food, almost breaking my jaw, slumming it to Boreman Saturday mornings and even making sure my one floor mate didn’t get arrested (She said she drove a 2 door Dadisman). 

There are many more memories I could discuss and thank you for but I’ll keep it to a minimum. You let me grow as a person and for that I am forever grateful. Leaving high school I probably had no idea what was in store for me but I can honestly say I’m happy with my memories. I couldn’t have imagined leaving the nest any other way.

So once again and a little late, thank you, for being you.

Sincerely,

Graduating Senior

Hi, everyone! I'm Chastity, a senior at WVU majoring in Strategic Communications with an empahasis in  Advertising. I am a lover of writing and fashion, a reality show junkie, and a tad celebrity obssessed. I love finding new inspirations on Tumblr whether it be fashion or lifetsyle. Follow me on Twitter and Instagram!
  I grew up in Charleston, West Virginia. Growing up here I knew there was a possibility of going to West Virginia University my entire life. Although I decided to start my college career at the University of Kentucky, those country roads led me back to WVU in the spring of my sophomore year. This was also the point when I decided to establish myself as a Broadcast Journalist student. Since this point I have strived to become the best possible journalist I can be. I am currently working as a weekend reporter for WDTV-Channel 5 in Clarksburg, West Virginia. Prior to receiving this position, I worked as an intern with WCHS-tv/FOX11, in the summer of 2014, where I learned critical editing, interviewing, writing, and speaking skills. I worked closely with anchors, reporters, editors, directors, producers, and even the web team. Aside from the television industry, I am the Campus Correspondent for the West Virginia University Chapter of the online entertainment magazine, Her Campus. Another position I currently hold is the Social Media Chair of WVU’s Radio Television Digital News Association Chapter. In the Fall of 2012, I became a sister of the Alpha Phi Fraternity, in which I held the position of ‘Big Sister Chairman.’ My other passions include horse back riding, scuba diving, being outdoors, and running. I am very adventurous and I try to stay well rounded. My goal in life is to live life to the fullest and be the best possible version of myself. My ultimate goal would be to earn a spot as a reporter/anchor for Fox News, New York. I plan to graduate in December of 2016 and look forward to my future.
