Fast Forward

I regret to admit it, but I did a piss poor job of detailing my last four years on this blog haha. As a matter of fact I didn’t write anything here, but fortunately  I have a plethora of pictures and videos to add context to my last four years at West Point.
Somehow I managed to survive and thrive at USMA and I learned a great deal about my grit, optimism and relationships.
I wish I had the energy to recount in great detail what I went through, and maybe over  the years I’ll be able to gather my thoughts and explain it better.
However, right now I’m sitting at a table in Buckner (why do I always find myself here) working as a Battle LT in the CST TOC (which sounds fancy but all it is is me answering calls, emails and briefing DMI6 and the BTO everyday). It’s such a boring job that I’m so glad I branches combat arms, FA to be specific bc I don’t think I could survive being in an office like this everyday making PowerPoints.

Okay with that and with my fingers getting tired of typing this on my phone, I’ll leave you to it.
As always, XOXO K

R-Day!

If someone had asked me last year what school I wished to attend, I would've said Howard University, an HBCU that I felt would be perfect for a girl like myself, who has rarely had interaction with individuals of her own race. However its nearing the end of senior year, and I'm sitting here on my computer with a bottle full of water and a massive amount of homework before me to say that I'll be attending the United States Military Academy in less than a month. I suppose if we're being honest here, I didn't think I would be admitted which is why the shock of my acceptance still feels fresh like the day after a good downpour. A part of me is incredibly excited to take part in such an honorable commitment, but obviously I can't help but wonder if I'll make friends, if I'll fit in and if I'll like it. Writing about what my next four years will be like seems like a smart way to stay sane, and like the novel, "The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien, maybe I can look back on this experience and be wiser. Haha anyway with that being said, this blog is going to be brutally honest and hopefully informative, so if you're interested stay tuned. XOXO K
