Wanting to get the heck out of my toxic hometown and all the people in it (family aside), I headed to the big city of Athens. My heart still belongs there. The University of Georgia is where I began learning about agriculture. Yes, I started learning about agriculture IN COLLEGE. It was love at first sight.
I majored in agricultural communications and received my degree in Spring 2009. The day before school started in the fall of 2009, I moved to Oklahoma to atttend Oklahoma State University for grad school. This is where all heck broke loose. In a good way.
Within a week, I had purchased my first pair of REAL cowboy boots. They were red and black - for UGA, of course! I proudly wore them with a dress to my first OSU football game against, ironically enough, UGA. I'm sure I was laughed at.
Since moving to Oklahoma nearly two years ago, I have had many firsts. These include, but are not limited to:
- riding a horse
- firing a gun
- two-stepped
- checked cows
- met a REAL cowboy
- having a REAL cowboy remove his hat when introduced to me (my knees buckled - and still do)
Bless your heart,
