Going to bed past midnight and getting up at 7 is what’s gonna happen during YIG, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything during the week. I don’t know what I love so much about it, but Youth in Government continues to amaze me with the incredible time I have.
All of the people you meet, bonding with people from your school, being in the state’s capital (and Capitol), trying all of the restaurants… there is never a moment of boredom or gloom. The whole week it’s like I’m high on life!
I was in the Electronic Press this year so I went around with my group and took news videos. This is one that we made!
Please note that I have a piece of spinach in my teeth.
WHY NO ONE TELL ME.

And here are a bunch of pictures that I took! We left Wednesday morning and got home Sunday afternoon. It’s a long time to be gone but those days went by so fast it’s unreal. I’m going to do a separate post on the food because there was SO MUCH it needs it’s own. You can also read last year’s YIG post! Sorry if this is making your computer slow, I just have so many pictures to share.

Back home! (well.. two hours away:) the whole bus ride is 7 hours!) It did feel nice to be back in my own bed and make green smoothies – a girl can only eat out for so many meals. Overall it was such a fun experience and I am so blessed to be able to do things like this. I’m already excited for next year!
This looks like an awesome experience 🙂
It really is! 😀
I loved this post!
Because
1.) I loved getting to hear your voice haha! I always wonder what bloggers really sound like when they talk.
2.) It was great to find out I’m not the only one that sleeps with my mouth open when sitting up. Seriously, I am not a pretty airplane sleeper:)
3.) I hope we can have a picture together like you and Brie:)
I love hearing bloggers too! Then when you read their posts you can do it in their voice 🙂
Hahaha I knew it was open too, but I didn’t care because it was the only way I was comfy!
YES! Just yesterday Mom said she might consider a trip in July!!!
