So long, America🫡🇺🇸
49 days ago we landed in the USA to follow our country at the World Cup. We had no idea it would turn into the trip of a lifetime.
Thank you to everyone who followed along, and to all the people we met who made this journey even more special. We honestly don’t have the words to express how grateful we are for everything you did for us.
This trip exceeded every expectation we had. We came here with an open mind, wanting to experience as much of the country as possible. I still remember telling my friends on the flight to Atlanta that I hoped we’d get to meet a few locals on this trip. Now we’re flying home with friends all across the USA.
Before we came, we heard so many stereotypes and warnings about America. People told us about safety concerns, that they might check our social media at the border, and all kinds of other things. None of it matched our experience. This was probably the most welcoming country we’ve ever visited.
So if you have the chance to travel, do it. The world isn’t nearly as bad as the media often makes it seem. 99% of people are awesome!
I heard this quote somewhere during the World Cup, and I think it sums up our experience perfectly:
“If you want to hate the world, watch the news. If you want to love it, travel it.”
Thank you, America ❤️🇺🇸

2 seasons ago, we lost a 💔 in the Fargodome. We replaced nearly an entire staff & filled 66 roster spots. @Coach_Killough was the constant. Those who stayed & those who joined us worked tirelessly for #TheWord to stay a championship program. Tonight, we proved it.🏆#NotDoneYet
Anyone recognize this Texas-born actor from his 1965 Snyder, Texas, yearbook? I’ll give you a hint: arguably, his most famous line in the 1993 movie Tombstone was, “Well … bye.” Have a nice morning, friends.
Such a fun start to my week attending the Ellucian Live 2024 event 💜 I got the pleasure of interviewing university leaders and also spoke on two student panels about social media and student wellbeing 💪🏼 @EllucianInc
