When One Stage of Life Comes to a Close


As I am just finishing my first year of college at BYU and I am reminiscing about all of the memories I have made over the past nine months. Some of my highest highs and lowest lows have been experienced here at college. I wouldn't be the same without them.


I have met some absolutely amazing people here at college and I am going to try to name all of them. If I miss you I am so sorry. I still love you dearly.

First, my roommates. You guys were the freaking best! From staying up late talking about life, all the way to telling each other riddles and getting the strangest responses. I feel as though I got the best dorm in the building. 




Second, off my FHE sisters that drove me insane as well as making my day, I love you guys and was proud to be your step dad.




Third, everyone in Men’s Chorus. I loved performing with you guys and being in the choir was an amazing experience. Sister Hall is an amazing director with fabulous ideas. If you haven’t downloaded our free album “Set Apart” go now to setapartalbum.com and make it a part of your life.

Fourth, my ward. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME! I am so blessed to have been in the 57th ward my freshman year. I wouldn't have traded it for anything. Y’all are some of my closest friends here at BYU and I will miss you.



Fifth, 2217. I love you guys so much. I don’t think I could have asked for better people to meet my first night. It was a  blessing to know you and I hope that I made a good impression on y’all as well.



Sixth, GleeYU. This performance group was incredible. We sang everything and could do \it as well. Even though we fluctuated in numbers we were awesome! Thanks for giving me the outlet I needed.

I try and try to tell myself, “It’s only two years. Everything will be the same when you come back” but it won’t be the same. The relationships I have made this year will change in so many different ways. Some (I hope all of them) will grow stronger. Some (I desperately pray none) will dwindle and die. That is ok!

Serving in Washington DC will be some of the best times in my life. I am excited to go and share the joy that I get to experience every day. I look forward to spending two years away from my family and friends, so that the people I teach can be with theirs for eternity.


BYU has been an absolute blessing this year. Classes were hard and the trials were almost unbearable, but I made it. Looking back there is only one thing I would change.

I wish I had told everyone I met how much they mean to me. Thank you so much for talking to me, smiling at me, or even just being at BYU. The greatest blessing I received at college was the opportunity to be around you.

I love each and every one of you more than you could ever know. If you need anything, I mean anything, give me a call, shoot me a text, facebook message me, something. I will do all that I can to be there for you.

Thank you all for a wonderful freshman year. I don’t know what I did to deserve y’all. Stay in touch and be safe.

Love,
Grant Fuller
