This has been one of the greatest summers of my life so far. Choosing to go to school during the summer, while seeming absolutely insane at first, turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made. I have met so many wonderful people and made lots of new friends. Just when I thought I was a hopeless and utter disaster, these people showed me that there was still hope. As I said goodbye to one of my good friends who leaves on his mission tomorrow, I realized that even though I've only known them for a short while, I'm going to miss seeing them every Sunday at church, or in the hallway. I'm even going to miss the random, awkward situations created everyday when people just show up at my door or I embarrass myself in front of my roommates cute home teacher. These people changed me in just a short couple of weeks and I am grateful that they did. I see the world in a whole new way now and I have every single one of them to thank for that. So even though I may not see any of them ever again, they'll always be my friends and that's a good feeling to have. It makes saying goodbye a lot easier.
Well, I guess I'd better get back to studying for finals, but I just want you to know that there is always hope in the world. There are always people who will change your misconceptions of love, life and/or people in general. So don't give up just yet. I almost did, but if I had I wouldn't be the person I am now. It's worth it. I promise.

Well guys, college is a FREAKING PARTY!!! And I'm not even kidding. I've met more people I like in the past 5 than I have in my entire life. I've also probably partied harder in these past 5 days than I ever have before. So if you're considering going to college, I say DO IT! Its totally worth it and you will have the best time of your life. And I've only been here a couple days, so if I can say that in this short amount of time, you know its worth checking out.

Peace out homies xxx

Fernweh

What's up peeps?! Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Ha. Like the three of you that follow me really care that much. ;)

Well I'm about to start college. In just a couple days, actually. I'm both terrified and excited. But mostly excited. I'm ready to meet new people and get away from this place.

Wish me luck on my new adventure! xx

Moving On

A lot has been happening in my life over the past few months. I finished the hard part of Senior Project and graduation is coming fast. Soon after that I'll be heading to BYU. Its crazy how close everything is, and we never thought it would ever get here.

Over these last few months I've also learned that you can't let other people determine your happiness. I know that's what everyone says, and I always believed it, but I just kept saying to myself, when I get friends I'll be happy. Or, when I graduate I'll be happy. If I could just get out of this town I'll be happy. But no. You can't live your life that way or you'll NEVER be happy, and unfortunately I learned this the hard way. It took almost two years for me to get this, but I'm glad I finally did. There are things that come along with this, however. Because I'm growing as a person, I feel like I'm leaving people behind and there's nothing I can do about that. It's sad, but maybe it's time for me to be my own person. To finally understand what it's like to be really, truly me.

We'll see how this goes, but for now, choose to live your life in happiness now instead of later. xxx

Love

It's Valentine's Day. And once again I spent it by my lonesome. It's kind of alright, because my best friend asked me to be her valentine, but still I was alone. Maybe it would have been better if I could have spent at least part of the day with the cute boy in my seminary class, but, of course, the universe had other plans for me. Oh well. I guess I have many more Valentine's to come. Hopefully. Maybe they'll be cats, but at least I'll have something. :)

2013

I know, I know. I'm wayyyy late on the New Year post, but oh well, at least it's happening, eh?? 2012 held a lot of hard times for me, but I learned some good stuff. I'm grateful for the experience, but I'm glad I'll never have to live through another 2012.
 So far this years been fantastic!! I took a trip to Logan and Bear Lake. That was an adventure I'll never forget. And one that I never want to. I took creeper pictures of my best friend's cousin. I finished my first semester of my senior year. I ate Panda. My fortune cookie came true. Me and my sister cupcaked.
This happened:



 

And I finally feel like I'm becoming "me," the person I'm supposed to be. So here's to you and your New Year. I hope it's a great one for y'all. xxx
