what I've learned

I really don't try to neglect this blog and I'm sorry if this is online... journal? will in the end become one of those "I used to read this blog..." kind of blog.


But I promise, you haven't missed much. This was originally created because i was a new eager college freshman and wanted some type of documentation but now that school is out I've just been packing up my parents house because they are moving in a couple weeks to Ohio!


I've been relatively living on my own for the past 8 months (minus the weekends I would go home & visit friends and family) and I've come to collect an abundance of knowledge outside the realm of classrooms and lectures.


1. When wanting to eat apples & peanut butter, there is no need to cut the apple into slices. Just simply bite the apple and apply peanut butter directly on the surface. Bite & Repeat.
2. Do whatever it takes to use the least amount of dishes, even if this means drinking straight from the carton. What does it really matter though? You bought it... :)
3. Invest in good walking shoes or at least bribe someone for a good foot rub. I love my sandals and  cowboy boots as much as any other girl, but after a long day of classes and walking across campus, all I want to do is put my feet up.
4. The school newspaper lists fun events for that week. Another way of looking like I'm really reading the newspaper.
5. It's not really the case that you meet a lot of people on campus if you live on campus... sadly enough that was my case
6. The library has a poetry closet.
7. It also has a secret vinyl collection and has hip books like Nylon Global Street Style
8.  Art is everywhere.
9. If one roommate makes another one mad or cry, it's always for the better because then they will either move out or become a hermit. Either way, a problem is solved. Sad but true.
10. I haven't quite gained that much more knowledge but when I come home I realize high schoolers look at me differently which is pretty cool I guess.


stay in school.

Easter weekend



Easter was filled of not quite so dyed eggs, Easter baskets, chocolate, scones, General Conference, Wackee Six, Spiedies, babies everywhere, Claire throwing up in my room (sad for both of us)... and celebrating Mom's birthday and Breanne's 4th birthday! 

Also it was one of my very best friend's birthday
Morgan Heath!
We lived down the street for 2 years without being friends 
and less than a year ago we found out we are amazing friends.
I was honestly a bit scared of her at first...shh!
In the morning we went to one of my fave diners for breakfast.
It's this honkey-donk small diner with too many
paintings of waterfalls everywhere,
but their food is amazing, Tangie's Cafe!
After she got off work and I finished doing nothing,
we went out to Spark in Provo for some late night drinks & edamame
(drinks as in, non-alcoholic drinks)

The weekend was nice but now in Logan, I'm back to sitting in the library working on my portfolio and wishing I could go to the Tegan & Sara concert tomorrow and Passion Pit on thursday in Salt Lake.
But all Logan has is Club New York, 
which I promise you... is anything but a club...

5 more weeks
 of school left!

when bag meets head

Hmm, I just want to do this,


If you look at hair in some cases, it sort of acts as confidence if you happen to feel good about it
in my case, on Sunday, I lost 2 1/2 inches of confidence.
I no longer know what to do with my hair
and am finding myself unhappy about it in all forms

(reason behind cutting hair in the first place is because once your hair gets to that inch beneath your shoulder, it just looks weird... and because of that weirdness I had no patience for it to grow longer and cut it on a whim)

good thing hair grows back!

school can't wait much more


Today, is my last day for Winter break.
I head back to Logan.
Cold, Logan, where I have to leave my car behind and trek everywhere.
Where I have to start studying and taking things seriously.
Where I can not stay up past 12... 
and will surely always be up by 8...


I can't wait.


This past month has been treasured to say the least
1. Grace was born
2. was able to work back at my old job
3. saw old friends
4. watched many movies
5. Christmas came & went
6. was scared out of my mind...
7. went to a New Years dance
8. Naomi was born
9. started three new books (still need to learn to start one at a time...)
10. did (or tried) some de-cluttering in my room
11. ordered some new bedding for my future room in Ohio


It's been good in Utah County but Kramer & I 
have some things on our minds
for this new semester.
As in, having a couple parties and makes lots of friends!
And possibly having our own little photo-shoots 
with his amazing new camera!


To Do in Logan
1. buy groceries
2. get amazing grades
3. save money!
4. make friends 
(this could end up being optional if school needs more attention...,
 but friends make more the merrier)
5. keep my side of the room clean...
