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!

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!

Here I am!

This summer has been anything but boring. I've moved out, traveled to Provo, and experienced life here at BYU.

My semester here in Provo is almost over but I've had memories and experienced things I will never forget. Although it will be hard to leave to Idaho this fall I know that if I work hard and try my best everything will turn out how it's supposed to be.

Anyways, here goes a little mini review of whats been going on......

I've hiked waterfalls with my roommate Caree!

Chilled with my FHE group!

Went dancing with my man!

Watched Fireworks!

and sooooooo much more stuff. I truly am having the time of my life here. Sure I have my ups and downs but I know this is where I want to be and I cant wait to see where life takes me. Feeling good!

I don't wanna grow up :(

I move out in 12 days. This is basically what I'm thinking....

-I have to buy my own groceries 

-I have to COOK the food I buy

-I have to buy stuff like shampoo.... And toilet paper!

-no tootsie or Savannah

.........excited: yes. Nervous: YES!

A picture is worth a thousand words:

Busy as a bee

Hey guys, senior year isn't as exciting as everyone makes it out to be but it sure as heck is as busy. I'm finally done with college applications (BYU and BYU-Idaho) so now all I have to do is wait.....and wait......and wait... Wish me luck?

Other than that I have been super busy with school work and my schools fall play "Treasure Island" it was a lot of fun! I played a bloodthirsty French pirate with a feisty attitude. It was cool because my character was really different from my real personality so I had a lot of fun with it. My whole family and a lot of my friends came to support, even my boyfriend Cameron came! It was definitely a highlight of this year.

Well... That about sums it up... Haha thanksgiving break is over and I have to go to school tomorrow so I better go catch some ZzZzZz's G'Night!

Exercise and Everything Unexpected

Hellllllooooo, Haha I have been crazy busy! Tomorrow is the last day of quarter three in my High School so I had to make sure all my grades and assignments were up to par.

Now that that's over I can finally breathe! THANK GOODNESS. I have just felt so uptight about things it feels good to kinda be slowing down. I've finally been able to things that I WANT to do (Believe it or not) One thing thats kinda cool, the other day me and one of my friends Clarissa were talking about BYU (the college I wanna go to) and saying how I don't have very many extra curricular activities so she told me I should join the tech crew for the musical! So I did! It is actually really cool we get to build things like stairs, paint sets, run props, make trap doors, a lot of cool stuff! It was really sudden and unexpected but i'm glad that I get to participate in it.

Another random thing is that i'm now a member of Anytime Fitness, haha it's actually a lot of fun, I go there acouple times a week, get all gross and sweaty, work on my muscles and cardio then go home and shower. I enjoy being active and in shape and it makes me feel really good about myself!

Well speaking of working out... haha I better get going. Seeya next time!
