Running and Scrambling

*Piece Number Twelve*

LEFT UNTIL I LEAVE FOR COLLEGE

This is seriously bouncers I can't believe this is my last week to be with my family and my friends.

I am going to miss my family SO much like I didn't know it would be this hard. Yesterday I went to my dads house to spend time with my step mom and siblings and I just started crying because there going to Canada and that was the last day I'm going to see them for a while. I was just jacked up it started hitting me. I started to cry even harder because I'm really going to miss my brother. Like I love my family but I LOVE MY BROTHER, its hard to explain but we just have this strong bond that no one else in my family will ever have I know it sounds kind of mean but thats just how it is. I have 3 days to see all the people that mean the most to me and finish packing it just doesn't seem like enough time, I feel like for the last 2 weeks all I have been doing is running and scrambling to get  everything done at 100mph! Its been a crazy couple weeks now its down to a couple days? That just doesn't make any words, how can time fly by like that with in a blink of an eye just be gone. I have definitely learned what it means when people say life is to short, yes thats so true because time is to short. So enjoy it because it just fly's by without any warning. I am feeling so many emotions there isn't just one emotion to describe them all. Im scared,nervous,sad,stressed, super excited. But there is no time for that its time to grow up because time isn't waiting for me to be ready.

     

Let The Countdown Begin

*Piece Number Eleven*

LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN GUYS

TILL I LEAVE FOR COLLEGE !!!!!!

I find it funny that I leave in Eleven days and it happens to land on piece number eleven ahaha! ( I know I'm a nut ) I can not believe its down to the nitty griddy already, like where has the time gone!! There are no words to express how excited I am to go to Dixie and Finally join the STORM. I remember yesterday when I was just starting high school now I'm getting ready to start college this is crazy right now! It was so odd I woke up this morning at my moms house and my room was completely empty, like walls are bare along with my dresser and closet. It really hit me this morning like holy hannah this is really happening one room is packed and one more to go then next thing I know I'm out tie five-thousie. 

 

Six Bags Later

*Piece Number Ten*
So I started to pack and clear out junk out of both rooms...OH MY LANTA  I can not believe the amount of crap that has been piling up in my room for the past couple years. Packing for college is extremely stressful and over whelming. I didn't realize what a big job it would be, so far I used four plastic bins just to hold my clothes from my moms house!

  This is what my room looked like at my moms house, As you can see I took on way to many jobs at once. I decided to go through everything and decide what I want and don't want, I decided to see what college stuff I have and make a list and last I decided to start packing. Lucky 3 hours and 3 bags latter I was able to make it took manageable ahah.
   Going through my college bin I found out I have a decent amount of stuff to start off with but there's still a lot of things I am missing

This is my college bin even though you can't see everything there's actually a lot in there, it contains:
                    3 power aids
                     white bord
                     pack of travel bottels
                     wireless mouse
                     7 sponges
                     4 tooth brushes
                     a box of bounce
                     2 packs of pens
                     3 air freshners
                     2 packs of Q-tips
                     on the go planner
                     highlighters
                     2 face washes
                     5 packs of tooth paste
                     10pack of razors
                     first aid kit
                     1 thing of shampoo/ conditioner
                     3 romans
                     kleenex
                     wet whips
                      bandaids
                      2 packs of tide pods
                      mesh laundry bag
                       chap stick
                      facial cloths
                      16 gb usb
                      5 body wash
                       deodorant
                      3 shaving creams
                      cocobutter
                      pack of hair ties
                      towels
                      12 pack wash cloths
                      iron
                     bathroom catty
No I would say that's  a pretty good start. Today at my dads house 2 hours and 3 bags latter I was able to go through all the crap I don't want it's becoming crunch time.                   
 

Ticking Time Bomb

*Piece Number Nine* Oh my lanta I am so sorry it has been forever in a day sense I blogged! Where has the time gone! Life has just been so busy! Anywho the latest status is I'm not moving to St. George July 23rd because my step mom thinks I need to stay here and save money, I'm so bummed I'm not leving early :( Ofcourse this wasn't my choice but what can I do. So I'm leaving the first week of August that's not far away at all but it's not July 23rd either! I can not believe I am leaving for school in a month! Everything is happening so fast it's a total ticking time bomb. I still have no idea what's going on with my FASFA I have to call them for the FIFTH TIME tomorrow. I'm so sick of calling them. I'm nervous I'm not going to get any money but you know what I'm going to college I don't care if I have to take out loans and be in debt forever at least it was for my education, I refuse to get stuck at CSN or UNLV and for the people doing that there's nothing wrong with that but it's not for me. I have to go away and get out of here. I have to just continue to pray that things will work out and remain positive. Well Im going to go now I'll keep you updated with my FASFA tomorrow.

Worthy at All Times

*Piece Number Eight*
  So I was sitting her debating if I should blog about an experience I had because it's not college related BUT it did happen when I was in st. george getting ready to go to freshmen orientation. But I guess it can be an experience that I will need in college anyways ill just share the story. So my family and I drove to St.george on Monday to prepare for orientation Tuesday. When we were there my mom got way sick, she was already sick but it got worse. I called my good friend Allen and asked if him and his dad could give my mom a blessing because she's way sick and tomorrow is a very important day. He said of course so we drove to his house.
    When we were there Allen started the blessing and then his dad, brother, and brother in law joined in on the blessing. It was the coolest thing I have ever watched. You could totally feel the spirit, that was only Allen's third time giving a blessing and it was amazing. It was just so cool to know my friend was worthy and honoring his priesthood that he could participate in giving my mom a blessing. He acted in a time of need no questions asked, I gained a whole new respect for him. This experience made me want to make sure that I'm worthy at all times that I'm on the right track of being the best me that I can possibly be. When I go to college and I'm ready to start steady dating someone I want them to have those kind of morals, I want them to be worthy at all times and be able to act in a time of need. Who knows maybe some day ill be able to share this experience in institute and it will make some young man in my class want to better himself. This experience also made me think of a Mormon Message I watched called sanctify yourselves. Its about a little league football team who was playing on a rainy day and one little boy got struck by lighting and a young man who was worthy to use his priesthood had to use it right then and there in a time of need its such a good video. Heres the Link its only like 5 mins watch it!!!

#IGOTODIXIE

*Piece Number Seven*
   Today I attended Freshmen orientation with my Best friends Sara and Rachel it was a BLAST! I can't even explain  how amazing it was. Getting to the actual building it started in was a little stressful because I couldn't find it and it was making me late but all is well in the end I found it with Five mins to spare ahah! But anyways I went in the Eccles building to check in and right away the admission guy Cj rememberd me! What a great feeling to be rememberd by staff of a college ya know like I just love how personal everyone is.
    Once we were all checked in we went to a meeting where we met with our School dean. He was amazing, he talked about somethings that should always be addressed and he didn't sugar coat it, Then we had a man named Baako talk to us! HAHA he was so funny, he kept saying " Remember if you can't remember my name just think of Taco but with a B!" ahah he was a great speaker! Then we also heard from a lady that is the cultural coordinator , she was awesome to letting us know theres a lot of different people at dixie and we should make an effort to know different people.  The over all opening session was really nice it was a great way to start the day!
   After opening session we were able to split into groups and take a tour of the school, I'm so grateful for that because I needed a tour of the school I've never had one. The best part about the tour was seeing the new library because the funniest thing happened there. So as we were getting a tour of this new section of the school there was this guy checking out books OH MY LANATA HE WAS SO HANDOSME! I like looked at him turned away and then looked at him again real quick because I realized how cute he was! Sara was dying of laughter because she said my face was priceless! Can you blame me? High school boys are way different from what you see walking around college haha so I couldn't help but he shocked! After that we went to lunch the place were we ate was good and thats also the same place you eat with a meal plan so I need to watch out for that freshmen 15 because it's real and active. At lunch it was so funny Rachel and I invited two people to sit with us that were all alone and they both said" Its okay I'm just waiting for my mom/dad." five mins later there parents sat with them ahahah so much for doing something good we just look clueless! But HEY we were trying to do a good deed and who knows maybe someone saw us doing this and decided to pay it forward!
    After lunch thats when DIXIE GOT REAL!!! I made my class schedule , making my schedule was so nice because I was able to meet two reps from the nursing program who helped me get my schedule on the right track to apply to that program. I just LOVE my schedule so much I couldn't have asked for a better one. Most of my classes start at 9:00am and end at 3:30 the latest but thats not every day some days I only have two classes that day so that's nice! Im taking two fun classes because I need it so my first fun class that I'm way excited about is on Wed. and its a women's self defense class!!! Isn't that way cool its going to be so much fun! Then theres this class were three days a week I have to work out for 30mins and just record my hours on a computer, they say a lot of people fail this class because they get lazy but I put my in the day and between classes so I'm hoping that will work better and help me keep that freshmen 15 off ! And I only have ONE class on friday whoohoo thats exactly what I wanted! Then I saw the dorms I go into, for a while I've been complaining about them say there the same size as a dog house split into half haha but there not as bad as the website makes them, there actually cute and homie I have a better perspective about them then I did so I will be moving into those August 16th at 8:00am I'm so excited to know who ill be dorming with I pray we get a long or else its going to be a long 4 months.
      Once my classes were all set in stone I was able to go to the institute building and sign up for those classes, may I just say that building is stunning I love it there I feel like i will be there ofter. But anyways I signed up for A leadership class and a class about becoming a better you. I will be taking those on tuesday and thursday so I'm way excited for that I need classes like that to be able to get threw the week so I'm way grateful for those. I know this post is long but today was amazing you have no idea, just one more thought and ill be done promise! Lastly today I found out I'm on DIXIE STATE STUDENT GOVERNMENT!!! I couldn't believe I did it, I'm on the social committee and I couldn't be more pumped! Dixie is definitely the school for me, theres so many things to do and so much pride and such a strong bond with everyone on campus I'm so happy I'm joining the storm I know I'm going to be happy there!   Here are some pictures from today!

These are pictures by the *FOUNTAIN* aha it's a big deal if you know the story behind it, if you don't you should get the 411 because it's pretty juicy! 

WE ARE DIXIE BOUND<3 FALL 2012 HERE WE COME!!!

Memories that last longer then a Picture

*Piece Number Six* Yesterday I went to President Seagers house to swim ( I didn't swim) with my Shteez. My Shteez are my group of friends from Youth Committee, they are like my BEST friends, I would do anything for them we are family. Anyways afterwords we went to a stake dance our church throws once a month, sometimes there lame and sometimes there boss! This one was THE BOMB DIGGATY ! The DJ was awesome, he like played music videos that went with the songs and just dance clips it was so fun!! Ofcourse I was dancing my life away because that's what I do haha but I was just standing there thinking "this is what I live for!" Memories like these will last so much longer then a picture. I have soooo much fun with that group of friends leaving them is seriously going to hurt my heart because there a huge part of my life! We hang out all the time and see each other all the time, they are my life!
        When we were at the dance I decided to tell my guy best friend a secret I had been hiding for years, this secret was seriously driving me insane becaus I just needed to get it out ya know? So during a slow dance I told him I had liked him for a long time I just never told him because he's my best friend. It wasn't awkward at all and I was totally thinking it was going to ruin everything but I decided to Y.O.L.O ( you only live once) and tell him. Like I wasn't expecting nothing from it, I wasn't expecting hm to say he liked me too or anything like that. But I just had to tell him so I didn't have to live with the shoulda, coulda, woulda. Even though I was sweating bullets at the time I'm so happy I did it, I feel great. Why hide your feelings like how are you suppose to grow and mold into something amazing if you never take risks or have experiences to grow from!
         So after the dance we went to go get slurpees, nothing special but it's not what you do that makes a lasting memory it's who you do it with. I will always remember this short but amazing slurpee run because I was doing it with the people who matter the most to me! They made the experience worth remembering not the slurpee or the dance. I prayed and prayed for friends like them, and it's not couensadence I they came into my life, they play an important role and have helped shaped me into the person I'm becoming.
