Thou Shalt Not Judge

So one thing that really gets me and digs deep at my soul is when people judge. Who do you think you are?? You ain't my momma! You can't tell me how to live my life. I mean even though I know there are just people out there who put already repetitive songs on repeat and listen to it for half an hour straight during class for everyone to hear. That's fine, embrace it. I love having that song run through my mind for the next 48 hours. And yes there are some people who spend their time re-reading and re-reading wonderful, inspirational, immoral, gross, joyful, classic, Charles Dickens crap and stuff. Some people just like to dedicate their lives to those things. And those that stare out into space...in your direction...daily. But it's fine. It's not that creepy until they come take pictures of you through a window. But it's not like we're judging them or anything. 

(The phone's ringing. It's sarcasm calling.) 

I've Heard It Said

"I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today

Because I knew you"

Now this may seem cheesy or cliche but just embrace it because this doesn't happen very often on this bloggy blog. Basically most of us have heard this song before from Wicked but I love it because let's be honest, it's so true. People really do come into our loves for a reason and I'm so grateful that I have had the opportunity to meet all of you. Fo' real. So thanks friends! Thank you for always being there for me and always putting up with my sarcasm. You rock. Don't ever change. HAGS :)

It's not too late for Conversation Hearts

  

It goes like this:

Boy: Hey girlfriend, text me.

Girl: Ok. Hey boyfriend.

Boy: I love you :)

Girl: Awesome, haha.

Boy: Get real. I just poured my soul out to you.

Girl: FINE

Boy: ...Got ya! Hahahaha. I'm not mad.

Girl: Get real. I'm offended. Bye.

Boy: ...Bye... I'll miss you... *cry cry* *sniffle sniffle* 

The End. 

Fellow Bloggers: I Need Your Help

I got a call Thursday night and it was my boss telling me that Snuggle Luv is closing. They are just going to focus on their online store. But they are closing on Monday! So I'll have 4 days to get a new job before I am completely jobless. Great. Of course that's not going to happen. I actually will miss working there a little bit. I saw my friends at the mall all the time, I got a nice employee discount, I had wonderful bosses and I worked with the wonderful Bronwen Biddulph. 

So I am asking for your help. I really really really need a job, as I know some of you do too. If you know a place that is hiring or you have connections, please let me know and I will do the same for you in return.

Thank you! You rock. Don't ever change. HAGS.

Rise and Shout the Cougars are Out!

Disclaimer: 

I am not bragging in any way, shape or form. I am simply blogging about recent occurrences.

BYU here I come! But which BYU, that is the question? I applied for both BYU-Idaho and BYU and I am happy to report that I was accepted to both for Fall! But now I have to make a decision and you know how I am about making decisions...

What am I feeling? Relieved. Accomplished. Everything I have done in High School has the same reasoning behind it: "It will look good on my college application". Everything I am and have been involved in has been for that reason and that reason only and those things I've become involved in have helped me learn how much I enjoy them. But my beginning purpose was for college applications. Ever since freshman year. And I am so glad that I don't have to do things for that reason anymore. But I don't regret it either. It's payed off.

Most of you already know that I am pretty set on going to BYU-I. Here are my reasons: 

-I already have three wonderful roommates named Sarah Jean, Erin Rebecca, and Victoria Deloras (You may know her as my BFF cousin).

-I don't know what I want to major in. I have. no. idea. So why not go where I actually want to go, take some generals and then maybe figure it out and transfer to Provo. I really can see myself transferring eventually.

-I should be able to get a very nice scholarship so I don't have to worry about money as much as I would at BYU, where I'm pretty sure I wouldn't get any inside help.

-I have a brother going to school there (but I also have a brother who will be going to BYU Provo, so either way- family party!)

-And most of all, I simply need to get away for awhile. Have the college experience, ya know? I love all of you and I have the best friends and the greatest family members, but absence makes the heart grow fonder, right? A little living alone, start a new beginning thing would be good.

BUT here's the deal. Listen up. Idaho is NOT FAR. Come visit. If any of you do think it is far, then you need to get out more (in a nice way). And I still live here. I will be back OFTEN. And I expect to keep in touch with all of you. It's not like I'm going all the way to the opposite side of the United States.

BYU is a great school and I love Utah. I love the Provo bubble because I've been on the outside of it before and I love living in this different environment. If I do go to BYU-I, I will miss going to mission farewells, Timpview alumni events, BYU basketball and football games, and all the wonderful events that happen around here.  

But I haven't made my complete decision yet. All this could change, but those are just my thoughts :)
