Show Us Your Life--Alma Maters

Today, Kelly's Korner is hosting Show Us Your Life--Alma Maters

I went to Belmont Univeristy in Nashville, TN, starting in 2004, & I graduated in August 2008.

Some of our famous alumni include, Brad Paisley, Trisha Yearwood, Josh Turner, Julie Roberts & Miss USA 2007 Rachel Smith, just to name a few. I'm sure there are many students there now who will soon be famous. The majority of students major in Music Business. When I went on my visit, I was the only student in my group not having that major!

I decided on Belmont because it was one of the only colleges in Tennessee that offered my major, Medical Imaging Technology. I also wanted to "go away" for college, but I didn't want to go to a big school. Belmont, at the time, was a Southern Baptist school, which I loved, and it was small. I really missed home though, especially when I first started. It took me a while (the entire first semester), but I learned to love Nashville. I LOVED the four years that I spent there, and I love going back to visit.

My freshman year, I met my friend for life, Katie, who actually lived about an hour away from my hometown. We hit it off immediately, and lived together on campus in an apartment for 3 years. We did lots of shopping, eating & concert-going during our 3 years together. She still lives in Nashville, but we still keep in touch, and I know we always will.

 We also loved celebrating holidays & were so much alike, yet so different!

My senior year, I only had one class at Belmont, and the rest of my classes/training were at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. This is where I definitely met some friends for life! There were 8 of us in my nuclear medicine tech. class, and we were all so close!

We traveled to Memphis together...

  and to St. Louis...

  I also met another best friend out of this group, Jessica Riley-Pearson. I don't know what I would done without her that year. We are like sisters, and I love her to death!

My 2 best friends, during all 4 years were these two, Emily & Adam. We studied together, ate countless lunches/suppers together, and laughed together so many nights. We were definitely the 3 Musketeers!



Belmont is such a great school. My classes never had more than 25 people, and we all became so close with each other and our professors. I am so blessed to have been able to go there.

GO BRUINS!!
