Procrastination Station! Toot-Toot!

What a better way to procrastinate homework/studying than to do something completely unrelated!
(and more fun)

So, surprisingly my time in Rexburg has gone by pretty quickly, its almost time for me to head on back to good 'ole Minnesota! Eh?
(Funny side story: Idaho has been getting pretty dang cold lately and the other day some people were talking  about what track system they were on and when they asked mine I answered "I'm fall/spring" and they replied with "man you're so lucky, you get to skip out on winter semester and go home to some place warm, Idaho is freezing!" I couldn't help but laugh.... Minnesota? Warm? Ya-No. It will be even COLDER in Minnesota. Suck it up ya big babies!)

Anyways.......
Every college student knows that end of semester also means you have (Butt-Loads) of stuff to do. Packing, cleaning, studying, finals, homework, papers, projects, etc.....

WHEN WILL THIS END.
I am so beyond ready for a break.
I have been going to school without breaks for OVER a year now. 
Senior year in high school -----> Summer semester in Provo -----> Fall semester in Idaho
It's about time I run on home to my family, I cant wait to see them!

Meanwhile, I will be here in Rexburg (trying to) study and get ready to leave.
And chances are, whoever is reading this is procrastinating as well so I might as well make things interesting for you. Enjoy the following pictures!

I don't know why... but this is hilarious to me.

Yup.

And that tells you everything you need to know men.

I feel like the fact that I own a wiener dog makes it okay that I post this picture. Hahahaaaa... Maybe not but who cares :)

AND HERE IS SOME MOTIVATION TO GET OFF THE INTERNET AND KEEP GOING!






Good-Luck!

XOXO Until next time,

Late-Night Pizza (Experiences of a college student)

Hello everyone,

Just sitting here on a random Friday night with nothing going on so I thought I'd make a quick post. College life is pretty much what everyone says it is. In simple terms I'd say it's tiring, stressful, exciting, busy, fun, crazy, overall it is an adventure. Here are some random things that have gone on the past two semesters to explain what I mean:

1. Late/early trips to Denny's!
This summer me and my friends would randomly find ourselves hungry around one in the morning so we would think to ourselves "Why not?" It taught me that pancakes taste good at ANY time.

2. Movie Marathons
No joke, I do not think me or my roommate Emily have ever seen so many movies in this short of a time span in our entire lives. From Disney to romance we have pretty much watched it all!

3. Homework Binges
Okay... I know this isn't a GOOD thing but its impressive nonetheless. Lets just say sometimes I let procrastination get the best of me so there are some days where it is non-stop cramming.

4. Creative shopping
This one is funny yet sad. What I mean by it is obviously, being a college kid, I am broke. This however, gives me the opportunity to get creative with planning meals and grocery shopping all the while paying for gas!

5. Weird Sleep Schedule
Late nights early mornings, early nights, late mornings! With different classes throughout the week my sleep is never really "scheduled" sometimes I sleep in some days I get up early!
(lets just say, on the early days I do NOT look cute)

6. Roomies
My roommate as you guys know is my friend Emily Briggs and its been great! We are both stubborn as heck and always driving each other nuts but I wouldn't trade her for anyone! Having a roommate is like having a sleepover with your best friend every night!

College has been great and definitely a new experience. There are some things that suck but even the cons help me learn and grow as a person! I love college and I love the experiences it has brought me!

-Tired of laundry, homework, and ramen but loving it all the same!

XOXO- a student named Megan

College Chapter Two: Rexburg, Idaho

Hey guys! 

Its been awhile, I'd be surprised if anyone actually reads this any more, but I thought i'd update you guys on what's going on! After summer semester ended I moved in with my Aunt Sarah and Uncle Brian :) I chilled with their little kiddos and actually got to take their school pictures for them! It was a lot of fun.

 Gotta love her boots!
 City Piano
 I love these little chickens :)
 One, Two, Three- JUMP!
 He hated me for it, but I got a good pic of him!
 Gotta love her sass!
 Say cheese!
 Sweet smiling :)
 Got the pretty blue eyes!
 Handsome guy :)
 Silly kiddos, I miss them!
 I love my little red :)
Stopped at the train station!
After I lived with them for a couple months I packed up my little Ford Fiesta and drove four hours to little 'ole Rexburg. I had never been to Idaho and didn't really know what to expect, but lets just say all the assumptions are correct. Lots of fields, lots of potatoes, and not a whole lot of anything else. As you guy's know I never planned on going to BYU-I but life threw me a curve ball and here I am to make the best of it! 


Life here is going good, I'm still trying to adjust but I just gotta give it a chance. I miss my friends in Provo and my family in Minnesota but I talk to them often and Cameron and I try to visit each other as often as we can. IN FACT, me and my roommate Emily went down to Provo for General Conference a couple weeks ago! Me and Cameron went on a super fun date with a comedy show, ice skating, tandem bike ride, he pulled out ALLLL the stops! I'm so lucky to have a guy like him :) Count your blessings right?

Also, another blessing is my roomie Emily :) I've known her since Sophomore year in High school and lets just say we've been through lots together. Even though we bicker she keeps me sane! I love her!



So here I am trying to take life one step at a time! I know that even though we experience hard times in life we can still take a step back and try to appreciate the little things!
