We did it! We finished our first year of law school! Now that we are 33.33% done, we compiled our list of the 33 things that we discovered that helped us survive this past school year. Some were to help me survive, some were to help Brett survive but all of them made for a memorable first year in grad school.

1. Frozen yogurt runs. Gotta have my Orange Leaf.
2. Sunday night board games with our friends!
3. An episode (or two, or three...) of the West Wing to break up hours of studying.
4. Going to the mall to play with the puppies.
5. Quadcoptering.
6. Going to our favorite restaurant Dats when we were too lazy to make dinner.
7. Driving Brett's lunch to him on campus because he forgot it at home... again...
8. Taking day trips to Indianapolis.
9. Driving around Bloomington window shopping for dream homes.
10. Walking around Brown County Forest.
11. Driving two hours south to Louisville to visit the Temple.
12. Regular RedBox runs.
13. Tennis to help get the pre-test jitters out.
14. Joining the intramural ultimate frisbee team.
15. Learning we had to filter our tap water during the summer.
16. FaceTime with family.
17. Cleaning the church building every few weeks.
18. Getting passes to the IU Gym to swim laps.
19. Weekly Hobby Lobby runs. I think they know me by name at this point...
20. Having to drench our house with insect spray regularly (we live in a dark basement apartment).
21. Taking walks through Dunn's Woods in between classes.
22. Rock climbing.
23. VITAMIN C. Every. Night.
24. Picking up every quarter we can find to pay for laundry.
25. Aldi. The greatest grocery store ever! Seriously.
26. Visiting family in Wisconsin & Michigan.
27. Supporting our Pacers in Indianapolis.
28. Making homemade laundry detergent.
29. Frozen pizzas. Ya, we're lazy.
30. Brett's winter coat. It's huge, it's yellow and it's uuugly but I'm pretty sure it saved his life this winter.
31. Dressing up as Simon and Garfunkle for Halloween.
32. Painting my nails. All the time.
33. Shrink wrapping every nook and cranny of our apartment during the winter to stay warm.

Here's to two more wonderful years! We love IU and Bloomington and we're excited to start this next chapter of our lives! Go Hoosiers!
