Things I love about Auburn... Auburn football and movies in the stadium

As excited as I've been to move away from Auburn, I am going to miss this place. I love Auburn and the past 7 years I've spent here. I've grown up a lot here, lived on my own for the first time here, lived on a sorority hall with 40 other girls here, lived with 3 amazing roommates here, lived our first two years of marriage in our first house here, and had so many other amazing memories in this city. And as most of you know - I can be very nostalgic. I've already teared up multiple times, so I have no idea how I'm actually going to handle leaving for the last time.

Luke and I have almost 1 month left here - and we plan to do as many "Auburn things" as we can before we leave. And these goodbye activities officially kicked of this past weekend.

1. Auburn's A-Day game: Believe it or not, I had never been to an A-Day game during my entire Auburn career (the A-Day game is a football game where the Auburn team is split in half and plays each other), and we decided that we had to rectify that before leaving. It was so much fun! Auburn football without as much traffic or stress. Pure fun and relaxation. I love Auburn football!2. New Auburn Coliseum: Auburn is in the process of building a new coliseum. On Saturday, they had an open house to allow fans to have a sneak peek at the new arena, and it's nice. Very nice. Smaller, but so cool. I can't wait to come back and go to a game in it!3. Star Trek in the stadium: Every year, the Auburn student activity committee hosts a movie in the football stadium. Everyone brings blankets and watches the movie on the football field (yes, on the grass). This year the movie was Star Trek. Star Trek was pretty good - honestly, the sound in the stadium isn't great with it bouncing around the large arena, so we didn't catch a lot of what was going on. But watching a movie on the grass of the football field was good - definitely a highlight of my college career. We had so much fun!I ran into my beautiful (and pregnant) old roommate! It was great to catch up!


I hope everyone's having a fantastic Wednesday!
