Founder's Day

While it was almost two weeks ago, I thought I'd give a little shout out to Founder's Day at Cottey College. For those of you who don't know, Cottey College is a two year liberal arts college for women. Cottey is full of memories for me and other alumnae and it truly was the best way for me to spend the first two years of college. Without Cottey, I would have never met some of the most amazing women on this planet and probably wouldn't have been encouraged to pursue anything I'd like. I love Cottey College and someday I hope to have daughters to carry on a Cottey tradition.

Speaking of tradition, Founder's Day Weekend is quite possibly the best tradition Cottey has. One weekend every year, the college invites its alumnae back to relive their experience, see people they haven't seen in years and to help carry on the vision of Virgina Alice Cottey. This year was my 5 year reunion and I had the pleasure of seeing many of my friends and even making some new ones. I can't even express how much I value my education and experience at Cottey, but I will say, it was amazing and one of a kind.


The best part of my trip? Seeing my best friend Kali and her beautiful baby boy, Judah.
