Introduction to My Ever-Changing Life

My name is Ashlyn Colbert. I am from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

My family is very important to me! Here I am at my brother's football game with my mom and sister!

My labradoodle, Cali, is also very important to me!

I spent my freshman year of college at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California as I believed that I would be better suited at a smaller university. Unsatisfied with my experience there, I decided to try the University of Oklahoma during the fall of my sophomore year and I could not be more content or surprised by how much I love it here!

I especially missed OU football when in California!

I just recently changed my major from Human Resources Management to Accounting and am highly considering Price College of Business' 5-year BBA/MAcc Program. My favorite class that I took last semester was Managerial Accounting, simply because accounting is something I just recently developed a liking to! My biggest accomplishment last semester would have to be getting more involved on campus: I joined an academic fraternity where I served as Service Chair and became Fundraising Chair and also interned for an environmental sustainability non-profit. Even though I had many friends here already and made many new ones, it was still hard for me to get involved on campus just coming in as a transfer there aren't a lot of (obvious) opportunities. I had a very exciting winter break filled with family and friends! After being in Mexico for almost two weeks (see My Favorite Place post), I had a chance to spend a week in Crested Butte, Colorado skiing with friends.

I am currently about half way through my training to become a yoga teacher. This weekend I actually have a two day intensive! I have grown to love yoga, especially hot yoga. I have embarked on this training to merely learn more about something I love, not to necessarily teach yoga... but who knows! Because of my passion for yoga, I hope to one day travel to India, so this is one more reason that I am very excited for this class. Finally, I consider volunteering and travel to be my two most favorite hobbies. I have been fortunate enough to have many opportunities to combine these two things in places around the United States as well as in Italy, Haiti, Belize, Tanzania, and Mexico.

While in Tanzania, my dad and I also hiked Mount Kilimanjaro! 

Community service is something I really enjoy and hope to someday incorporate into my career, whatever that may be.
