Well, this may be my last post ever. Which would be sad. (To be honest, I really do not believe that the world is ending. I'm just giving the Mayans the benefit of the doubt.)
So, spend your last few minutes listening to these songs about the end of the world. And don't do anything stupid. Because YOLO. (Am I the only one that doesn't understand YOLO? Like, yeah, you only live once, so you shouldn't do something stupid that could kill you. But people use it like "Oh I'm going to jump off this cliff! YOLO!" or "I'm going to take illegal drugs! YOLO" or "I'm going to climb in this great white shark's mouth when my leg is bleeding! YOLO!" Seriously? Why not, "I am going to spend this beautiful day I have been graciously given to help everyone I love! YOLO!" or "I'm going to post some videos about the end of the world on my blog so that everyone can enjoy their last few moments on earth (possibly) listening to some music! YOLO!")
Well, I really hope the world doesn't end. Peace out Suckahs!
Well, I did it! I pulled my first all nighter! And, no not because of homework, or anything reasonable like that, but because I was already out until 4, so we decided to just go all the way!
Last night, there was a dance for my dorms. It was a formal ball, and I never turn down an opportunity to dress up! I was hoping I would get asked to the dance, but I knew if I didn't, I would just go and party it up with my friends, so it would be ok. One of my friends kept saying that he didn't know who to ask, when most of the girls in our group of friends did not have dates yet. So about an hour before the dance started, some of my friends who weren't going were saying that he wasn't even going to go now. Well, I wanted him to go, and since he wouldn't ask anyone, I decided to ask him. (Which is pretty typical of me, seeing as probably 80% of the dates I have been on in my life, I have asked the guy.) I must say, I was kinda shocked/excited when he said yes with such short notice. (And when I say kinda, I mean I was really excited. Like so excited, I started jumping around squealing with excitement when I hung up the phone. So I really hope the phone actually hung up and he didn't hear me. Because that would have been super embarrassing. But I guess I don't really care about embarrassment at this point, since I'm writing about it on my blog.) Getting ready for the dance was really fun. A bunch of us girls went into one of our rooms and blasted music and did each other's hair and did our make-up and just had a blast! I found it really funny that everyone was curling their hair to be all "fancy", and I straightened mine. Oh the irony! Haha! The dresses we wore ranged from nice church dresses to full on prom dresses! I wore a dress I had gotten for my junior year Winter Formal, that has been worn on many other occasions. It was a salmon-y pink color and floor-length. Us girls took pictures in the lobby, and then walked over to the Cannon Center so that the few of us with dates could meet them. The Cannon Center had been decorated to look like a castle. There was a bridge and fake moat outside, and inside, the walls were covered to look like stones and there was gold and purple fabric hung every where. They had caricature artists, and a photo station with props, and carriage rides. (My date and I only took pictures because the lines for everything else were forever long.) Then there was the actual dance. It was so fun! Our group was soooo crazy! (Because honestly, dancing is no fun unless you are just letting loose and going crazy!) During the slow songs, my date and I would prance around and spin and make fun of other serious couples dancing. Our goal for the night was to have one normal slow dance, and we failed. :P But that's ok, because we had fun being weird! After the dance, we went with a couple of our friends to WalMart. In our dresses and everything. We walked around WalMart for a bit, then went to Denny's. After Denny's we drove around for a bit and then came back to the dorms. It was about 4 in the morning, and when we got back to the dorms, I mentioned I had never pulled an all-nighter before. So we decided we had to do it, for my sake. So, back to WalMart we went. We played hide-and-seek, which was not very fun because we were too tired. After a while, we went and got Hot Chocolate, and then my date and I wimped out at 7. The other couple went and watched the sunrise, but I decided that 7 was late enough in the morning to be considered an all-nighter. Which was probably a good thing, because I discovered that I have no filter when I am SUPER tired. I seriously just say every little thing that is on my mind. And I cannot stop it. I try, but it doesn't work. I'm thinking that is how it feels to be drunk. Except I at least remember being insane. :P I set my alarms to wake me up so I would have time to get ready and be at work at 1:15. My alarms didn't go off, and I ended up waking up at about 1:00. I jumped out of bed, freaking out, and I checked my phone. I had a voice mail telling me that I did not have to come into work. I was so relieved! I ended up going to get some food and then went back to sleep at about 3:30. I woke up at 6:00 for dinner, and then went with some friends to this thing called waffelpalooza. (Which wasn't as exciting as it sounds.) Maybe it would have been more fun if I wasn't so tired. Well, we left that and just came back to the dorms. So, my super exciting all night party was followed up with a not-so-exciting day. In conclusion, if you have never pulled an all-nighter, do it. Just be prepared to not enjoy the following day very much. :) Conclusion 2, do not pull an all nighter every night. That probably is not very healthy. Plus you will be tired and crazy. Which is not a good combination. Trust me.
This is not a normal picture. Unfortunately we did not take a normal picture. Because we are not normal people.
Last week, I got to go home for Thanksgiving! After having a really hard week, I was homesick and SO ready to go home. Luckily, I complained about not having a ride back to Arizona at work one day, and someone I work with said she was going and could take me. That was seriously the best thing ever!
So, Tuesday morning I got picked up to go home! I was in the car with the girl I work with and two of her friends. It was pretty fun, we just blasted music. We stopped in Flagstaff for food and to drop off one of the girls. We ended up getting to Flagstaff an hour early, so we had to wait for the girl's mom to come pick her up. Then we drove the rest of the way to Gilbert. AND I WAS HOME!! :D (If you couldn't tell, I was so flippin' excited to be home!) My parents and brothers were up to meet me, even though it was late. I couldn't stop smiling and hugging my family. It was so great to be home!
On Wednesday, I woke up when I felt like it with no alarm. It was awesome! I got up aand get a text from my dad asking if I wanted to meet him for lunch at In-N-Out. Uhmmm, heck yes!! So, I got to spend some time with my daddy, which was nice! Then I went to visit the school my mom teaches at. The was fun, becasue I got to see a few of my old teachers from elementary school. Then I picked up Betsy, and we went to Savers and Target and pretty much just had an awesome time! Later, my cousins came over for hot chocolate. After that, I went to my friend Chelsea's house and got to hang out with a bunch of my friends. I got a lot of hugs from them! They asked me if I was engaged yet, and were shocked to find out that I haven't even been on a date since I've been up at Provo. To be honest, I'm pretty shocked too... :P Well, we ended up watching Once Upon a Time (because some of them had never seen it). Yeah, I think they're hooked! ;)
Thursday was Thanksgiving! I kinda just hung out with my family and then our family friends came over and we ate yummy food! Uhm, thats really all.... But it was fun! And Delicious! :)
Friday was really fun! I took my brother to Chick-Fil-A because he had a gift card. Then I hung (hanged?) out with my friend Jesse. We got cupcakes, went to his friend's mission call opening (he is going to Hawaii), and went mini golfing with some more friends. After mini golf, some people wanted to get pizza, but me and Jake wanted Taco Bell, so we all went to go get food and met back at Jesse's house where we played Clue. Then we went and got rainbow slushies and went to my house where we played Bananagrams and watched Once Upon a Time (because none of them had seen it)! It was a super fun night!
Saturday, Kourtney took me to lunch at Firehouse Subs. After that, I went to my old work to say hi to everyone! It was so fun to be there again. I really miss it. After going to my work, Kourtney and I went to the mall! Later, some family friends came over for dinner, and I got to see my friend Haley! I have known Haley since we were about 2 years old! It was so fun to see her again. We played Bananagrams and Just Dance 4 (which is sooooo awesome! It has Call Me Maybe on it, and you can buy Gangnam Style for it! :D So cool!)
On Sunday, my dad made biscuits and gravy for breakfast (my favorite!). Then my dad took me on a motorcycle ride. I love riding on motorcycles! Then my family went to church while I packed up my stuff and watched Pokemon. Yeah, I watched Pokemon...... Then I got picked up and we drove back to Provo. We made awesome time! And now I'm back to the cold! (Which I'm actually very excited for!)
I am definitely so glad I got to go home! It was the perfect time! Now only three more weeks until I can go back! :) Oh, I love the Holiday season!
(Oh, and I know how awesome I am that I didn't take a single picture while I was in AZ. I really need to get better at taking pics....)
Well, it sure has been a while since I posted on my blog. I would like to tell you that this is because I have been very busy and productive. But it's against the honor code to lie. I really have just been extremeely lazy. But that's just me. So I will go over a few important points that have happened since I last posted.
1. Well, there was Halloween. And I for surely dressed up. And I was totes adorbs. But besides dressing up, I had a rather uneventful Halloween. 2. My friends and I thought it would be a good idea to bike to Savers. It wasn't. It took us so long to get there. And it wasn't that great. But I did find the movie Betsy and I have been searching for since we started out Savers trips. So I of course bought it. 3. I got rather homesick this weekend. It may have had something to do with some of my friends. But I won't rant on here. 4. I found someone to take me home to Arizona! I am so excited to go home next week! 5. It snowed. Like, really snowed. And it was beautiful and cold. Now it's just cool, and the snow that is left is boring and slushie. 6. I am almost completely caught up with Once Upon a Time. If you have never seen it, please do. It is addicting. And amazing. WATCH IT. 7. I have some pretty amazing Home Teachers. When I posted a rant on Facebook the night I started feeling homesick, I got a text from my hometeacher only a few minutes later making sure I was ok, and telling me that if I needed anything to just let him know. The next day, I had to work until really late, and I didn't want to walk home alone in the dark and cold, so one of my home teachers came and walked home with me. Seriously, those boys are awesome. 8. My friends had a Thanksgiving party without me. Because I had to work, but still. Everyone should make sure I am happy. Is that too much to ask? (Please know that this is sarcasm.) 9. I officially declared my major. As of right now, I am technically a "Pre-Comms" major, since advertising is a limited major. Pretty exciting stuff. 10. It is getting cold, and I want a cuddle buddy. Ok, so this technically isn't something that has happened since my last post, but I just want to make sure everyone knows that I just want a stinkin cuddle buddy. Ok? 11. I bought a scarf. Two actually. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? I don't like scarves, and yet, I bought two. I'm turing into a Utah girl..... 12. Somebody heart attacked me. :) I'm guessing it was my visiting teachers. I could be wrong, but that's what I'm thinking. 13. I finished a couple sewing projects. A skirt and a shirt. Both are super cute! I promise I will post pictures later! 14. My roommate told me about this website. Cakewrecks.com If you need to waste a few (hundred) hours, go here. So Funny!!! 15. I couldn't stop at 14, but I don't think I really have anything else to say. So, it was nice catching up with you. I promise I will try to blog a little more regularly. Maybe. We'll see.
I like to create random situations in my head. Most of them involve meeting cute boys in line for Jamba Juice. They normally go a little something like this:
Cute Boy- Wow, there are so many to pick from, it's so hard!
Me- Yeah, I know! What's your favorite?
Cute Boy- I like (insert favorite smoothie here).
Me- That sounds good! I like Mango A-go-go.
Cute Boy- Yum! How about this, we order eachother's favorites and then if we don't like them we can just switch!
Me- Sounds good! I'm Kai, by the way, what's your name?
Cute Boy- (Insert boy name here.)
And blah blah blah, we get married and live happily ever after.
Yeah, pretty unrealistic situations. Or so I thought until today.
Today, I was standing in line at Jamba Juice when all of a sudden, a cute boy comes up behind me in line.
Cute Boy- Wow, there are so many to pick from, it's so hard!
Me- Yeah, I know! It is really hard to pick one.
Cute Boy- I usually just go back to my favorite. Carribean Passion every time.
Me- I like that or Mango A-Go-Go.
Cute Boy- Those are the good ones.
Me- Maybe I'll try (smoothie I forgot the name of).
Cute Boy- I tried that. I don't like it. It's too sweet.
Me- Oh, maybe I will try Orange A-Peel. You can't go wrong with orange, strawberry, and banana.
(After we order our smoothies)
Cute Boy- So you went with the Orange one?
Me- Yup, what about you?
Cute Boy- I got Berry Banana (or whatever...).
Me- Cool, that sounds good.
(Some time passes where we say nothing.)
Jamba Juice Worker- Kay! Kay your smoothie!
Me- (grabs my smoothie) They always say my name wrong. It's Kai, but they say Kay.
Cute Boy- Yeah, my name is (couldn't understand what he said) but they always say (couldn't understand what he said). Well have a good day!
Me- Thanks! You too! (Walks away.)
WHAT THE HECK?!?!?!? Why didn't I ask him his name earlier and keep up the conversation? What if I missed my chance with my soul mate? What if I was supposed to talk to him, but since I didn't, I am going to be punished with a life full of loneliness?
So, Cute Jamba Juice Boy, I hope I see you again. Maybe I will actually have the courage to talk to you about more than just smoothies. Maybe we can have Jamba Juice cater our wedding.... Ok that sounds a little creepy.
Ok, a lot creepy.
But I am kinda a creepy girl.
Oh, and I found out this weekend that I am a huge scaredy pants. My friends and I went to a Haunted Forest. It was my first Haunted anything (unless you count the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland...) and let's just say, it was a very fun but flipping scary experience. But, I only cried once during the whole thing! (Yes, that is a huge accomplishment.) It was during the part with the guy chasing us with a chainsaw. How stereotypical. I think it would be much better if there was a guy with a jackhammer or nail gun or something. Yeah, that would be better.
This morning, (after I woke up late for class,) I looked out my window, and what did I see? (If you just sang "Popcorn Popping on the apricot tree", you get cool points. Lots of them.) White. I saw white stuff all over the ground. I got all giddy and got ready in my most wintry clothes and ran outside. (At this point, by the time I got to class, it would be over... This is my first time EVER EVER EVER missing a class....) But I went all crazy Arizona girl all over that snow. I took pictures, and then my camera died. Then I made snowballs and a snowman! (Ok so he is more like a snow barbie, but still.) I haven't seen snow since I was 8, and that was lame snow. (Ok so this was lame snow too, especially since most of it had already melted...) This has been an exciting day so far! :D
So, I am sure you are wondering how my media fast went. I will tell you day by day how it was.
Sunday:
This was the easiest day, probably because I didn't have a whole lot of time to miss media. I woke up for church with an actual alarm clock and not my phone alarm. That was weird. After church I went to eat lunch at the Cannon Center. When I came back, I took a nap until it was time for ward choir. Then our ward had a fireside. After the fireside was the worst part of Sunday. I had a few hours in between the fireside and tunnel singing, and I wasn't tired, so all I wanted to do was check Facebook and listen to music. Since I couldn't do those, I tried to figure out what else I could do. I ended up coloring a picture. In silence. I figured out how much I listen to music. Listening to music is almost a constant, 24/7 thing for me, so the silence was killing me. Luckily, it didn't last long, and soon I went to tunnel singing. After tunnel singing, I hung out with some friends. We stayed up pretty late talking, so I went straight to bed afterwards without even thinking of media.
Monday:
I woke up and got ready (in silence,) and headed off to my classes. Since I always take hand-written notes, that fact I couldn't use my laptop didn't bother me much. In my sewing class, we usually play music while we sew, but since I was on the media fast, my class didn't play music. After my classes, I was bored. I had done all of my homework on Saturday, before I started the media fast, so I couldn't do homework, and sitting in my room doing something was so boring since I couldn't listen to music. I ended up straightening my hair (which killed a whole hour of time), then I went down to the lobby to hem the skirt I made in my sewing class. I couldn't text my friends to see what time they were going to go to dinner, so I just went at 6:00, and luckily my friends ended up being there. After dinner we had a ward Halloween party, and then I hung out with friends. It wasn't hard to be without media until I had to get ready for bed. I couldn't check my facebook, or my email, or anything.
Tuesday:
I don't know why I was feeling so lazy Tuesday morning. I really just didn't want to get ready for class. When I finally did get ready, I realised I needed to leave for class or I would be late. Since I couldn't check the weather (like I usually do) I didn't know that it was supposed to rain until I got outside and saw the dark clouds. Since I spent so long straightening my hair the day before, I had to go back and get an umbrella, just in case. So I ended up being late for my class, which was cancelled anyways, so it didn't matter. I would have known my class was cancelled, if I could have chacked my email before class. So, since I wasn't in class, I decided I could meet up with my friends for devotional. Too bad I couldn't text them to find out where to meet them. Well I eventually found a friend who called my other friend to have him meet me for devotional. After devotional, and my last class of the day, my friend met me in my lobby so we could hang out and so I wouldn't die of boredom. It was fine until our other friend came, then they started looking at her computer and looking things up on the internet. I just sat there, unable to join in. I then went to dinner and after dinner, I went to work. Here is where my biggest problem with the media fast came. I clocked in and headed over to where the event was (I work for catering) and the doors to the building were locked. I walked all around the building and couldn't find anyone, so I headed back to the Wilk to see if they had finished early. There was only one person there, and she called the people I wass working with to find them. I had to go back to the event venue, only to see they had finished cleaning and all we had to do was go BACK to the Wilk and wash dishes. I had been called in early to work, but didn't get the message since I couldn't use my phone. After work I sat in my room waiting until midnight when I could turn on my phone and computer again.
Overall, the experience wasn't horrible. I learned how much I appreciate having media in my life. I also learned that my friends are pretty supportive and that they care about me.They would go out of their way to make sure I knew when they were going to places, and they helped me out whenever I needed. I must say the hardest part was definitely not listening to music. Since I am almost always listening to music, it was definitely strange to have silence in the background. I also learned that I should probably get a watch, because not knowing what time it is is definitely hard. It was a good experience to learn how truly dependent I am on media, but that it is possible for me to go without it. I would probably never willingly do this again, but if for some reason I have to do it, I know I can survive.
So, before the media fast happened, something pretty spectacular happened. I was walking back from helping my friend with his chemistry lab, when we saw a deer. A flipping deer on campus. Like holy crap! I never see deer in Gilbert! So we stopped and were taking pictures of it. I naturally start singing to it like Giselle in Enchanted. We keep taking pictures and I keep singing when all of the sudden 5 more deer come running out of nowhere! I felt like a Disney princess! :D It was sooo cool!!!
Speaking of Princesses, I started watching Once Upon a Time with my friends last week. It is really as good as everyone said it was. :)
Can I just tell you I love cold and snow? I really do. It was snowing while I walked to my physics class today. It melted almost as soon as it hit the ground, but it was pretty much awesome. But I have realised that I am definitely going to need to buy some winter essentials. My coat that I wore like three times a year in Arizona in the middle of winter in the middle of the night is barely warm enough here in Provo in the fall during the day. I also need to get me some cute gloves and cute beanie hats. And scarves. (I hate scarves, but I can see how they would be nice.)
So, since I missed Youtube Tuesday, I am going to make it up now. Here are some videos.
This is definitely me in the Snow today. :)
1:12 is what I felt like when those deer came running when I sang.
So, I hope you all have had a fantastic week! And I hope you have a fantastic weekend! :)
Actually, at midnight, I am starting a media fast for a class. That means no phone, internet, computer, tv, or music for THREE DAYS. I think I am going to go crazy. So, if you desperately need to get a hlod of me, (and you live in utah) just come to my door. Seriously, check up on me and make sure I am still sane.
Honestly, the harded part will probably be no music.
I will tell you all about it when it's done.
Peace out! See ya in three days!!!
(And, an outfit post might be in the near future. Just saying.)
Uhm, I have really know idea what to write about today. Like seriously, no clue what so ever.
So I guess I will just tell you that today, I definitely had a solo dance party. I danced around my room to Disney songs. My window was open and I sang at the top of my lungs.
What do you mean it's not normal for a 19 year old girl to do that?
I guess I'm not normal then... But I think I figured that out a long time ago.
So, I am going to give you all the chance to have a solo dance party to disney music too. Here are some great Disney songs to sing and dance to. (And by dance, I mainly mean act out/interpretive dance).
So, please belt your heart out! Dance like no one is watching. And if somewone is watching, then still dance like no one is watching. That's what life is for. Probably. :)
Random things on my mind today: 1. I am absolutely horrible at keeping my own secrets. I mean I post them on Internet for crying out loud. I guess my real problem is that way more of my friends read my blog than I thought.... Haha, oops.
2. I still love tunnel singing. It's quite possibly my favorite part of every Sunday.
3. I definitely felt like I stepped out of the 1950s today. I love it!
4. A guy at tunnel singing said he was going to New Zealand on his mission. Since no one I have heard of has been called to Australia, I will settle for New Zealand. So, random guy, I am warning you, if I am not married when you get back, I will have to marry you. Just so you know.
5. But I may not have to marry New Zealand guy, because my TA for my sewing class has a cousin or friend or someone who is on his mission in Australia right now. And he is coming home soon. And she said she would set me up with him. I let you know if anything happens! ;)
6. My friend is getting married next month, and I am really trying to find a ride down to AZ so I can see her! If anyone is willing to drive me the weekend of Nov 9, that would be fan-flipping-tastic. Or you could buy me a plane ticket, that would be even better. :)
7. After church, I went to lunch for three+ hours, then I took a three hour nap. I have had a rather productive day, if I do say so my self.
8. Blog writing is way more fun then peer editing papers. The ironic part, my groups' essays are on a blog post. Writing ABOUT a blog post and ACTUALLY writing a blog post are completely opposite.
9. I am crazy. Like Bat-crap-crazy. Seriously, what is wrong with me?
10. I sang in the ward choir at church today. We had a total of 3 rehearsals before performing, and I don't think we ever had the entire group at one of them. But I was told we were awesome, so that's good, right?
11. I bought new pants the other day. :) And a new shirt thing (I think its supposed to be a dress, but it is crazy short, so it's a shirt for me.) YAY NEW CLOTHES!
12. I may or may not ever post outfits on here again. I guess this has gone from being a fashion blog to being a "Let me spill my deepest, darkest secrets so everyone and there dog knows way more about me then the ever cared to" blog. So, sorry peeps. But hey, I am getting WAY more views now. Which I guess can be good and/or bad.
13. My brother blessed the Sacrament for the first time today AND I WASN'T THERE! >:(
14. My room is a disaster. Sorry, roommate. I will probably, maybe, possibly, clean it tomorrow. Or not.
15. I wish it rained more. Rain is always my favorite.
16. Last night, my roommate and I pretended to be Batman. Cuz we are cool.
17. Ok, you know how I always say I don't like super hero movies. Well, I liked the Dark Knight Rises. I'm not saying its my favorite movie, or that I now suddenly like super hero movies. Just the Dark Knight Rises. And I may or may not have a secret crush on Robin. ;) 18. ^ I just spilled another deep dark secret. Oh well, at least I know for a fact that Robin won't read my blog. :P 19. I will probably eat the entire can of Salt and Vinegar Pringles I am currently eating. 20. I met the weirdest guy the other day. He tried to tell me Australia and Africa didn't exist. Yeah, he was strange, but in a good way. I like weird. 21. Not only am I weird, but I am also very awkward. I think it is something that has happened because of college. I didn't used to be so awkward, but now I really enjoy saying super awkward things and making other people and myself feel awkward. Is it awkward that I like that? 22. This list is a lot longer than I had anticipated it to be. 23. Uhmm, well I guess this is all I have to say for today. Peace out SUCKAS! 24. I guess I'm not done. I just want to say, I find this post rather funny. I hope you all pick up on my subtle jokes and sarcasm. And by subtle, I mean completely blatant. Ok, now I am done.
So, this past week has been pretty crazy. I have oh so much to say today, so please, bear with me. (Or just skip down to the video, since that's probably the reason you are even reading this.)
Thursday: Honestly, I don't remember anything from Thursday. I do know we had Ward Prayer, and that's always fun! But, yeah, i guess Thursday wasn't crazy or exciting by any means....
Friday: Well, Friday, I had to work the football game. I like working, but Football games are always soooooooo long! I work about 9 hours every home football game. I also got a text from my friends that night saying they had an extra ticket for the Saturday afternoon session of conference and asked if I would like to go with them! (And I said yes, of course!)
Saturday: Ok, here is where it starts getting pretty darn crazy. Saturday was the beginning of General Conference. And Saturday morning, there was a pretty big announcement: Boys are now allowed to go on missions at age 18, and girls are allowed to serve missions at 19. HOLY COW. I went from having two years to think about going on a mission, to a day. This was a hugely huge shock for me. I had always said that if I wasn't married or in a relationship by the time I was old enough to go on a mission, I would think about it. Well, I sure as heck am not married or in any kind of relationship now. This is a big decision to make, and I know it won't happen over night. So my friends and I were in Salt Lake Saturday afternoon. I must say, seeing Conference in person is a whole different experience than watching in on TV. It was awesome! After Conference, we went to the City Creek Mall, which is the most beautiful mall ever, I think. It was so crowded though, so I would love to go back sometime when it is not swarmed with people. When I got back to Provo, my Uncle Casey brought me princess cupcakes for my birthday. I also hung out with some friends and we played Hide and Seek in the Tanner building. On our way back to our dorm (it was past midnight at this point), I would tell everyone I saw that it was my birthday! Then this crazy dude started throwing popcorn at us. He was pretty strange.... :P
Sunday: I woke up, put on my striped onesie pajamas and my tiara (because I was the birthday Princess) and went down to the lobby of my dorm to watch Conference with the girls on my floor. We had donuts and I had a cupcake. It was pretty awesome. Then I skyped my parents and opened their present to me. Then I went to my aunt and uncle's house for the second session of conference, and for my birthday dinner. I ate enchiladas, and beans, then we had red velvet cake and chocolate ice cream. It was pretty delicious. When I got back to my dorm, some of my friends and I ate some of the cake I had left over. Then we went to tunnel singing. Then we had more cake. (Which is perfectly acceptable on your birthday.) Then we sat in the cold, all huddled up, just being silly and crazy. It was a pretty awesome birthday!
Monday: On Monday, I had my classes and homework and blah blah blah... Later, we had FHE. We decided to play hide and seek in the Tanner Building. It was pretty fun, but there were a lot of other people playing too. So we kept getting mixed up with other groups, but it was still fun! After, I went to the Creamery with my roommate and bought some Poptarts. And then I know I did something else that night, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was. (Oh those crazy college nights! :P)
Tuesday: Oh boy. Tuesday. Well, it started off great! I went to Book of Mormon and then our Homecoming Kickoff! The marching band played and I got to see the colorguard! When they walked out onto the floor, I yearned to be there with them. Then I saw them perform. And my mind changed. Maybe I was too spoiled to come from a high school with the most amazing colorguard ever in the history of the world, but they definitely did not impress me what-so-ever. Sad day. Oh well, the rest of the kickoff was awesome! And at the very end, a group sang and danced to Come So Far, which is from one of my favorite moves EVER! (Hairspray!) Then I went to lunch with some friends. Afterwards, I went to physics. Halfway through class, I realised I did not have my phone, but I knew I had it right before walking into class. After class I went looking around the whole building, I even went to the lost and found, but I could not find my phone. When I got home, there was a message on facebook from my dad saying that someone had called my aunt from my phone, and she told them to bring it to my dorm. Well, it wasn't until 11;30 that night that they finally brought me my phone. It was a long day. At least my friends helped me take my mind off of not having my phone. (Oh and I had a super embarrassing moment at dinner, but it was a "you had to be there" type of moment. It's a good thing I can laugh at myself!)
Wednesday: Well, I definitely had planned to post this yesterday, but it ended up being so long and I didn't have time to finish it. :P So, Wednesdays are my long days. Never my favorite. But yesterday wasn't too bad. After my classes, I went to dinner with some friends. (Where of course they kept bringing up my embarrassing moment. Haha!) Then, since it was visiting hours and boys are allowed in our rooms, we all went back and hung (hanged?) out in my friends' room. We blasted High school Musical and had a grand ol' time. Later, we went to Brain Break (which is like a snack/meal at 9:00) and then we went and played Hide and Seek in the Tanner Building (if you couldn't tell, we do that alot. At least in this past week.) It was a pretty fun day!
Ok, so now I will post some videos to make up for Youtube Tuesday! I don't know why, but I really like Mika. We listen to him in my sewing class sometimes, and I realized I really like him. I think it's probably because he is really weird. And I'm really weird, so I like really weird things. SO here are some really weird videos by the really weird Mika. Enjoy.
My awful day started out last night. Remember how I said I get super jealous really easily? Well something happened last night that really, really bothered me. I won't go into details, but let's just say I couldn't fall asleep because I was worrying about the incident in my head, trying to figure out what it all meant. Since I could not fall asleep, I was tired all day today. So on top of being in a bad mood, I was tired. And I am no fun when I'm tired. I was wearing sweats with little make-up. I looked like crap, and I felt like crap. And it seemed like nothing was going right. I was done with the day by noon. After my last class got out (early, which was one of the only plus-side to this day so far) I called my mom to talk and ended up bawling and letting out every single little feeling I had. I felt lonely, and jealous, and not good enough for anyone here. After my bawl fest and pity-party, I decided it was time to turn my day around. After deciding this, my day almost instantly was better. I had dinner with friends, I watched to Presidential Debate (GO ROMNEY!) and I went to a walking dance party! I came home and skyped with my parents and I after I finish this blog post, I am going to watch Tangled.
When I decided to turn my day around, I made up a list for future me. It is a list of ways to make a crappy day better. Although this is a personal list, I feel there are some things on here that everyone can use. So, if you are ever having a bad day, read this and try some things out. They really do work. (For me at least.)
1. Call Mom. Vent to her, cry your eyes out. By the end you will be laughing and ready to have a better day. 2. Change out of sweats into a cute outfit. Freshen up your make-up. Put on your favorite perfume. If you look like crap, you will feel like crap. 3. Drink Dr. Pepper. This doctor can fix any problem. 4. Eat Chocolate. Lots of it. If it works for Harry Potter, it will work for you. 5. Watch Tangled or Big Bang Theory. They always always always make you smile. 6. Be Social. You can almost always act happy if you are with other people. 7. Stop thinking of the past. It's gone. You can't change it. Think of the future and how you can influence how it will be. 8. Belt out the Wicked soundtrack. Just do it. You know you want to. 9. Smile. Look in the mirror and smile. Don't do this while you are crying, because looking in the mirror while crying just makes you cry more. Stop crying, gain composure, and smile. 10. Read the scriptures and pray for comfort. Remember that the Savior loves you more than you can possilby comprehend. He felt every single feeling you are feeling. And more. He did this for YOU. He knows that what you are going through is though, but He can see the greatness you are capeable of. Trust in Him, and you will be comforted.
There are always going to be bad days. Life wouldn't be life without them. just work though them and know that it is only a small moment of time. Without bad days, we wouldn't be able to recognize the good ones.
So, you can't tell me you don't remember this song. I mean talk about childhood memories!
So, there is definitely a story behind why I chose this for Youtube Tuesday. Yesterday, a few of my friends and I had were hanging out and we were standing outside of the cannon center. We were just standing there talking when all of a sudden, these boys wearing blue morph suits, BYU hats, and boxers came around the corner. Of course my first instinct was to start singing "They're blue da-ba-dee da-ba-di..." This grabbed the attention of the blue people and they came over and started talking to us. One of them came up to me and told me how awesome it was that I had started singing that song, then he took off his hat, knelt down, and kissed my hand. I probably blushed, because its not every day you get kissed on the hand, let alone by a blue guy! And this is the closest thing to a romantic moment I have had here at BYU. (Isn't BYU supposed to be full of marriage-hungry, romantic guys? Yeah, I have yet to meet one of them.) And I don't even know who this blue guy is; they wouldn't tell us their identities.
So mystery blue dude, if somehow you are reading this, I would love to know who you are. Unless you are some sort of creepy pedophile, then nevermind. (I guess him being a pedophile wouldn't matter since I'm 18, and not technically a child....) (But that would still be creepy.)
Oh by the way, I hope you all remember my birthday! (5 days!!!) My birthday package from my parents came yesterday, so I have this wrapped package sitting on my top shelf staring at me, wispering "Open me! Open me!" SUNDAY PLEASE COME FASTER!!!!! I don't think I can contain myself much longer!
Today we finally had normal church. After the two weeks of stake conference and the temple dedication, it was nice to just go to our regular ward today. But then next week is General Conference so this normal-ness isn't going to last long.... But today, our lesson in Relief Society was awesome! It was about how faith is empowering. It was just amazing! After church I got with my Visiting Teaching partner and we talked to our girls for a little while. I'm pretty excited to get to know them better! I also went to ward choir, wich is pretty awesome. Can I just say, hearing those guys sing is one of the coolest things ever. Oh my goodness, my futures husband is going to have to be a singer. (So I need to find me a red-headed Australian who can sing. Be on the lookout!) So... This little thing called Homecoming is coming up in two weeks. And well I have a dress, so I just need a date, so boys (do any boys even read my blog??) you should definitely keep that in mind. I am a pretty awesome date, so you won't be sorry if you ask me! And girls if you know boys that need someone to ask (especially if they are Australian!), tell them to ask me. :P Well anyways, I hope this week goes by quickly, because my birthday is on SUNDAY!!! :D I am definitely a fan of October 7th. Pretty much the best day of the entire year! I like it better than any other day, because it is a day all about me! And I'm pretty awesome, if I do say so myself! ;) So if you so desire, I will accept any and all gifts. So give me presents. Or just sing happy birthday to me. But you must sing it. None of that talking crap. I want singing. :) Anyway, I hope you have a fantasticalicious week! And don't forget my birthday! (Don't do it, or you'll be sorry...)
How could you NOT want to ask this to Homecoming? :P
Last night, I was being bored and lazy and I decided to look up some pick-up lines. Some are pretty great, but others are just soooooooo lame! I also found this guy on Youtube that has a bunch of pick-up line videos! (Like over 20!) I think they are pretty hilarious! Here are just a few examples:
Those are just my personal favorites from his. Haha!
Ok, so now I need all of your help. I need to know all of your favorite pick-up lines! (Just because they are fun!) So please comment here, or on facebook, or text me, or call me, or email me, or use them on me, or whatever, I just want to come up with a huge list of the BEST pick-ups lines! Then I can post them to my blog for the whole world to see! So please let me know! :D
"If I asked you out, would your answer be the same as your answer to this question?"
*Holds out hand* "Could you hold this for me while I go for a walk?"
"Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, but here's my number so call me maybe! ;)"
So there may be a boy I have a crush on. Ok, so there is most definitely a boy I have a crush on. Boy might just happen to be one of my really good friends up here at the Y. And, with my past experience with liking boys, things tend not to end well.
I get super jealous really easily. (And not just about boys. One of my best friends could be hanging out with someone else, and I would get jealous. It's bad.) And when my group of friends contains of three times as many girls as boys, I tend to feel jealous a lot. Just tonight, I got jealous at Tunnel Singing because Boy was not standing next to me. In fact, he moved from standing next to me. (And anyone reading this who was at tunnel singing with me now knows who this boy is. But, then again, they probably knew before....)
When I am sitting in my room, I look at myself and know I am really beautiful, and I feel confident. Then I go out in the world, with all of my gorgeous friends, and think "How could he ever like me when all these other girls are around?" Don't get me wrong, I do not by any means think I am ugly or anything, I just feel like I can't compare to those around me. So complements mean the world to me. A simple "You look cute today!" or "I love your shoes!" can make my whole day. I definitely want everyone to like me.
Ok, so enough ranting. I need advice. Boy advice. So hopefully there are boys reading this so they can give me advice, because girl's boy advice tends not to be so helpful. :P
Should I tell Boy that I like him? Should I drop hints or just flat out say it? Or should I just forget about him because he is a Pre-Mi anyway? Most advice I get is to tell him, because boys are oblivious. So, boys, if your really good friend had a crush on you, would you want her to tell you, or would that just make things awkward? (and I tend to be awkward anyways...)
My sophomore year, I had a crush on my best guy friend. Somehow he found out (probably because I acted really wierd around him.) Once he found out, things just became super awkward. It wasn't fun to be around him anymore. Even after I stopped liking him, things were never quite the same.
I am worried that this will happen again. I would much rather just be friends with Boy than make things really awkward between us. But, what if there is some slight chance that he aybe, might, possibly like me back? This is why I'm confused and need your help!!!! Gah! Or maybe I should just buy a bunch of cats and live my life with them. (Please don't say that, because I don't like cats....)
So, please help me. (I know this is a boring blog post with no pictures or anything, so if you made it this far, congrats! Give yourself a pat on the back. And give me advice. And follow my blog. And take me to Disneyland. Thanks!)
Well today was a...day. Just a day. I realised half way to my first class that I had forgotten my phone, and new I wouldn't be going back to my dorm room until way later in the afternoon, so I turned around and went back and got it. So, I ended up being late to class for the first time ever. (I was only like one minute late). Then I went to Forum to meet up with my friends...who weren't there. And they wouldn't answer my texts. Luckily I did find a few friends to sit with, but they were just as confused as to where everyone was. So, instead of going to lunch with all of my plans, like I had thought, I went back and got a sandwich from the vending machine in my lobby. It looked super scrumptious, but tasted gross. Then, after my next class, I had a meeting with my English teacher, but didn't write down her office number, so I basically wandered around the building for 20 minutes until I finally found her. Then, I had to take a test. It was my first test in the testing center. That didn't go as well as I thought it would. At least I got to meet up with some friends for dinner, and I went and bought a bunch of snacks (and by a bunch, I mean Salsa Verde Doritos, Poptarts, and Granola Bars). Yeah, not a very exciting day, to say the least...
So, to make up for the awesomeness my day lacked, here is this weeks video!
I hope the rest of the week is better than today. But with three classes and then work tomorrow, I'm guessing not....
So should I start out with my outfit, or my life update? I will do the outfit first, because I know that's my favorite part of other blogs and I just skip all the life crap. :P
Here is what I wore today to Regional Stake Conference:
I just now realized how totes awk these pictures are. (By the way, I don't really say things like totes awk.... Just in case you thought I was weird or something...)
I was pretty awkward to take these pictures though. I set my camera up on a fire hydrant. And there was a girl sitting behind me. And people kept walking by. Yeah, totes awk.
So as for my life, this week has been pretty good. I will tell a few stories.
1- On Thursday after Ward Prayer, a group of us were hanging out, and one of the guys wanted to do the cinnamon challenge. So we all walked all the way to the creamery on ninth just so he could buy himself some cinnamon. It was pretty hilarious to see all the passers-by faces as they saw him freaking out and us just standing there laughing hysterically.
2- On Friday night I went to my cousin's house for dinner. It is scary how badly you miss home-cooked meals in college. It was so good! Then I watched Inception. It was my first time seeing it. Not all it was cracked up to be, but still pretty good. (Oh and if anyone tells you you can't walk in in the middle of Inception and know what's going on, I totally could.)
3- Last night was the rivalry football game between BYU and the Utes. A groups of girls and I headed over to District 9 (Building 9, which is a really nice boy's dorm.) to watch the game. Basically that meant talking until the last quarter of the gmae when it finnally became interesting. By the way, it is ok to storm the field when the game is over, not in the middle of a play. *coughstupidutescough* It was a super intense game. Even though we lost. :(
Oh and we had Room Checks of Thursday, so I took advantage of my room being clean and took pictures to share with you! :)
I do love my little dorm room. It surprisingly never really feels small. Its perfect. :)
Well, college is great. I love it. You should all try it sometime. :)
