Day 17: Freshpeople~

Day 17: A picture of something that has made a huge impact on your life recently

This was actually pretty hard for me to pick, because I felt like I had nothing recently impact me that big. I kept thinking and thinking and then I started wondering how far back does "recent" really go to? Is it a week? A month? A year? I thought I had that leeway in picking something "recent" and then I decided that I could use my roommates and the wonderful boys of Rogers 97!!!
First off, my roommates. It was a great year living with all of them! And I actually just watched The Roommate last night...let me just say that I'm glad we didn't have a community bathroom and that none of my roommates had schizophrenia or were bipolar; especially Sara (who roomed with me). Anyhow, I would say they impacted me in a huge way....I mean, I did live with them and all. Sara was awesome and chill enough to be able to live with me for 8 months and get used to me staying up super late and eating chips and crackers in the wee hours of the night. I'm so glad to have had someone who went to bed earlier than me to motivate me to go to bed earlier than what I probably would've ended up doing haha. Jasmin was amazing at singing and had such a sweet spirit - she and her optimism! Definitely always had a good time when I was just around her. Katie, who I still haven't seen this summer, which makes me sad, was just the best out of us all. She had the best sarcastic comebacks and she's just so tiny!!! I really wish I had her gorgeous metabolism. I can't to live with her next year again. Melanie was the youngest, so we gave her a lot of crap. But that's ok, because she was chill enough to take it all. So glad she did. And then MJ is just MJ - always brave enough to give her own opinion...especially with the boy with the crazy girlfriend, non-girlfriend, who knows what they were. So glad she was always so rebellious with me, it gave life a perk haha!!! 


Ok, so the boys of Rogers 97 were the best!!! They became our way good friends and we just felt so comfortable around them! All thanks to me and Markham, hurray! So Markham over here is my best friend since the end of last August. I met him on the basketball court and befriended him. And it all went uphill from there. He's so awesome, but way too popular for me. He's nice though and was always up to hanging out with us!...that is...if he already wasn't hanging out with other people haha. And then Eric, E-man, was black! That just automatically makes me so cool. And he dances so well, it makes me jealous. He's awesome too and super nice! And he was the one out of all those boys to come say hello to us no matter what!! Aaron is super smart, which I'm jealous about. And he's so opinionated and can go off on his opinions forever (and I honestly mean that in a good way). He was so much fun to hang out with too. Benji was super nice as well!! Always had the best jokes to tell. I loved hanging out with him too. Whenever we were going crazy and all, he just knew how to keep it under control. Oh, and he had the best job ever - being a security guard at the library, whaaat?! Preston I honestly wish I could say we hung out a lot, but we unfortunately didn't. He was pretty cool though, he was in band haha. And then there's Adam! So cool of a guy and he was super smart too. He was so nice to us and so funny as well!! He was great to hang out with as well. I'm so glad to have met all those boys at BYU


Pretty much what I'm saying is, these are the people I spent most of my time with the last 8 months of my life. I miss them all. They all made a huge impact on me and I'm glad to have met them. Bowen 17 and Rogers 97 For.ev.er. 

Day 8: Say whaaaat??

Day 8: A picture that makes you laugh

I'm sad I couldn't get this picture before Katie took her part down. But this is our quote wall from this and the past semester. Need I say more? And this is perfect timing because we are all moving out this week. :( But! it's been quite an eventful first year of college; first year away from home. We 6 girls have had an enjoyable time getting to know each other and learning how to live on our own, but to have fun as well! It's been a wonderful time, and this quote wall reminds us of all the fun times we've had. The times we've laughed are the best, and so looking at this quote wall makes me think of all the inside jokes we've had and more. It's been a great year, and I'm going to miss living so close to campus and being able to roll out of bed and head to class and still be on time. :( 

It's been a great year. This picture makes me laugh so much though. This has been the life of me for the past year!!!

P.S. I had to get creative so I photoshopped the three pictures together and then just started adding random things, like highlighting our names and showing where Katie's spot is.<3

Day 6: JIMMER!!!!

Day 6: A picture of someone who you would like to change places with for a day

Check out those arms

Ok, so I totally wouldn't mind being a man for a day if it meant I got to switch places with Jimmer Fredette for a day. I really would like to see what this guy's life is like, being super amazing at basketball, having all this fame and popularity on you wherever you go, and just recently winning every single basketball award that you could possibly win when you're in his spot. Amazing. And seeing him play basketball myself.....wow. There's no way one can disagree he's good. Like, really good. You can hate on him, but you really can't say he's not good at basketball. Anyway, all this fame and everything seems to not really phase him or get him cocky or anything, so I really would like to know what he thinks of all this and how he is reacting to it all. If I didn't switch places with him, then I would definitely like to switch places with his girlfriend. She'd have a pretty interesting popularity going on right now, too. I would like to meet Jimmer one day...one day. Too bad he can't come on campus until he's graduated. :( JIMMER FTW!!  

Have a lovely day everyone. I'm gonna study away for my calc final tonight :/ Over and out. (after a couple more pictures of Jimmer)

Day 4: Tonight's the night!

Day 4: A picture of your night/Your favorite thing to do at night

Ok, so the original challenge is to have a picture of your night. But I found on some random person's blog that instead of doing that, you would blog about your favorite thing to do at night. Well, I decided to put them together. Go me.

So first off, my night will consist of some more facebook-ing (or just leaving it on), and studying my brain away for my Calculus 2 exam that's scheduled for Saturday. Nerve-racking. :/ So there's that. It's a pretty mellow night I guess you could say. 

My favorite thing to do at night? It's a tie. I love to just kick back in sweats and a comfy t-shirt and just read a book that pleases me. Anything that can keep me interested and make me want to keep reading. But I haven't done that in ages. The other thing I love to do at night is to talk to people. Text, call, messing, any form of communication works with me I guess. I just love talking late into the night and just talking about anything and everything. I find it hard to find people who will do that kind of talking though. :( But yes, there's that. It's past midnight but....I think it's fine to post this now. Better late than never I guess! There's the life of me for tonight! Peace.<3

How do I say it all?

It's really amazing how so much can change in so little time and what you can get from it. It's been a pretty interesting semester and life is constantly full of twists and turns. Where to start?

Well first, I dyed my hair! I like it lots, but it is super red right now. But it'll fade (hopefully) and I'll eventually go back to my natural hair color and that'll be the end. And I will have long hair!! I can't wait to have it back. Then I can whip it back and forth ha. 

*I think those nerdy glasses suit me. Honestly I like wearing them. But the lighting makes my hair look darker than what it is.*

Next off, finals are coming up and then I'll be moving back home to good ol' O-town. That'll be exciting. I'm excited to see my friends again and to hang out with them. Too bad that all the guys will be gone for their missions. But some are slowly coming back! Two years has passed by sooo fast! And so much changes within those two years eh? Crazy crazy....But it's really a small world when it comes to the church-world. For example, my friend Elder Carter just got to Torreon, Mexico. So before he left I told him to find my friend Elder Alexander there; I also told Elder Alexander the same thing (vice-versa) and so I was hoping they'd meet sometime. Well...right when Elder Carter got there, they had this giant transfer meeting get-together thing and guess who he sees?! Elder Alexander! And they both told me about it and it was pretty exciting!! I think there was like...80-something missionaries in that area, too! *Elder Alexander is on the left, Elder Carter on the right!*

Also, my friend TJ left for Texas again!! I will miss that kid, it was fun hanging out with him. I met him through Michael and Ammon, and we all just had a fun time all together! He was taking online classes though, and since he could finish them up online, he agreed with his mom to go back home and finish there, as well as get a job. So he left a few days ago! Michael and Ammon will see him again over the summer; as for me, not quite so!! It was a fun time! 

Oh speaking of TJ, he took me to go see the movie Insidious the day it came out. Oh. my. gosh. The movie was made very well, I think, but the storyline and everything of it is just way too freaky for me. I mean, it's not like it gave me nightmares or anything, but it's still a freaking scary movie and I don't know why I gave in and decided to go see it. Maybe it's because I didn't have to pay and I hadn't been to the theater in such a long time. Whatever it was, it was a bittersweet movie. Definitely waaay more on the bitter side haha!

Hare Krishna!!! WOW!! Festival of Colors was amazing! And so much fun! So many people there too. And I saw Allison Boyer and everyone else she was with there; who would've thought something like that would happen? It was a very interesting experience, especially hearing the things the religion believes in. And the burning of the witch was interesting too. A handful of people came as they were high or drunk. Dumb. Can't they have fun just once being normal? Let's not ruin the fun for everyone....anyway, it was awesome, we taped my car up with a bunch of plastic bags so we wouldn't get my car colorful afterwards. It was a lot of fun and worth the time preparing my car and everything! We also made shirts that we thought were going to throw away after, but we actually ended up keeping them haha!

Well I think that about sums everything up! Man that took a while. But typing all this out and just thinking about what's happened this past semester it's been a good one! I will miss the people that I've met here, especially all those leaving on missions. Life has ups and downs and brings on unexpected things, but take them all in! Don't waste time being down on something. Lift yourself back up by thinking of all the great things in life! I guarantee you that you can think of at least three things that make life happy each day. Life's too short to be sad about it! As for me, I'm done. Over and out. This is the life of me!!!

words cannot describe

This weekend was just great, but I feel like it went by too fast. Not enough time to do everything I wanted to while I was home. Overall it was just good stuff. The best was just the fact that I was in Ogden. Need I say more? :) 


Anyway, I came back to Provo yesterday. Now it's the beginning of another week in this lovely semester of mine. Today (Tuesday) was a Monday schedule, which means today and tomorrow is the same schedule. It's kind of confusing, but oh well. I don't have anything due in math until Friday at least! :) 


So currently here I am, wasting the night away on facebook, twitter, and blogger. Yes, I'm one of those weird people who use multiple social networks in their lives. But it's ok. I enjoy using them all. It keeps me up with what people are up to. No, I don't facebook stalk people! I'm also watching LOST. We're starting from the 1st season, 1st episode. And we're definitely going to finish the whole series before the semester ends. :)  Great stuff. Honestly though, what are the chances of having this many attractive guys be in one plane that just happens to land on some crazy island? I never find a cute guy on any of the flights I'm on! Matthew Fox is currently on my TV. Good looking man, he is. I'm also in love with Charlie (Dominic Monaghan). The face, accent, singing; and the actor was in The Lord of the Rings. haha!

                   ^^good lookin' guy eh?^^                         ^^Good show!! Everyone should watch this^^


I also got an email from Elder Parker Alexander today! It totally made my day. I haven't heard from him in such a long time because I'm horrible at emailing back. But he made so happy. He's going to have been out for a year in June already! Crazy how fast time flies by. But he's doing great in Mexico and loving it. Yay for missionaries!! Now I just need to hear back from people who use paper mail! :/

^^This was taken June 20, 2010 (hurray for project 365)^^

Alright, I'm also looking for an on-campus job right now. Hopefully I find one, it'd help a lot. And needing to find housing for next year. I don't think I'm getting that much success, but......I'll eventually have to find somewhere. I don't want to end up living in a box that's on the street. 


Hmm....what else. OH! So I read Katy Hunter's most recent blog and she told of her weekend and how Ivy and Nick had taken a road trip to visit her down at SUU!! And it sounded like a bunch of fun. I would LOVE to go on a road trip sometime soon and visit people. Go down to Cedar City and spend time with thee Katy Hunter would be awesome. And then I could go down to St. George and visit people there too! Oh man oh man. I totally want to do this now. Too bad I have no one to go with. My only problem. :/
Oh and by the way, Katy and I will be somewhat sister in laws one day. She's going to get married to Rupert Grint and I'm gonna get married to James Phelps haha!! 

^^They make such a cute couple!! Yes, I did facebook stalk Katy for this picture. I <3 her.^^

Woo! I need to blog more often so that I don't always make one big long blog about everything that's been going on. This doesn't even include Valentine's Day; but nothing happened about that holiday so....whate'er. For now, this is the life of me.
