I Can't Sleep!

It's 2:45 am and I wake up in 3 hours. Ugh. I have no idea why I'm not able to go to sleep tonight.

Well, since I haven't been able to sleep, I finally did my application to the University of South Alabama. Yay! I get to go back home for college (hopefully). I'm  actually really excited, and I've decided to major in Secondary Education to become an English teacher.

So, there is that. I'm  graduating in four months, and I HAVE to work hard to get a C in my math class so that I can be a matriculated student at South so that  I can join a sorority. I've finally started going to tutoring, although I don't think I'll be going tomorrow (today?) because of the whole lack of sleep thing.

Well, I'm going to try to go to sleep... again. Good night!!

I Know That It's Been Forever!

Gah, I know. I'm sorry. It's been such a long time since I've updated you all on my life. Not much has happened though. Went to Texas twice, started my last semester of high school, got accepted to one of my back up colleges.

So nothing worth updating. This is me promising to try to update y'all more often. Seriously... I need to. Well, I must go.

Sorry for the short post, but seriously. I will update more often. Byyye

A Small Collection Of Some Favourite Quotes

I have been having a few bad days lately, and Pinterest is always there to inspire me and make me feel better. I have found a few quotes that have helped me move on from negative feelings and inspired me to be better, and I thought that I would share them with you lovelies.

 I love this one because I feel that it says that even if we are the poorest we can get, serving others can only make us richer, not poorer.

 I like this one too because happiness is contagious. Once you have it, you can pass it on. It's something everyone needs and wants!!

 This one is great because you honestly don't have to wait for anyone or anything to make this world a better place. You can start right now if you wanted to.

This one is really important to me at the moment. I've been hurt a lot lately and I needed to read this to remind myself that being angry at the people that hurt me will only make me hurt myself more and will only make me have negative thoughts.

Well, I hope all you lovelies have an amazing day and I hope these have inspired you, and reminded you of things. I loves you! Bye lovelies!

October Book Reviews

Yay! I'm finally getting into my book reviews because I've actually had time to read this month. I got to read two books this month, and both were really amazing reads.

The first book is "Love and Misadventure" by Lang Leav. It's a short book full of really good poetry. I finished it twice in two days. I think this would be a good book to have for a school day, or a short plane/train/car ride.

The second book that I got the chance to read was "Three Cups of Tea" by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin. This book is about Greg Mortenson's long road of building schools in Pakistan, mainly for girls, in impoverished villages after his failed attempt at climbing the worlds second highest mountain, K2. It shows his struggles and successes in this long road to help this nation. It's a great read and very inspiring. I actually read it because that is what I would love to do.

Well, I hope you all enjoyed this post and I hope you check out both of these amazing books. Both deserve to be read.

Bye lovlies!

Super Sunday!!

Hello all! So today has been an amazing day, and a great start to this week. Church this morning was as wonderful as ever! I decided randomly during sacrament meeting that I will be doing Personal Progress all over again! So, I've been doing that since I got home and I already have three signed off and a few more to finish within these next three weeks!

After a few hours of that, I got to skype with my parents and siblings. I sure do miss them a lot, and I don't get to see them until November, which kind of sucks, but I'll get by with weekly skype sessions until then.

I've just been writing letters to my missionary friends, and thinking of care package ideas for them. I am so proud of my boys and I can't wait to see if they have matured at all (probably not).

Well, I'm going to finish up these letters, and last minute homework (oops...) and then go to bed.

Until next time my lovelies!

My Crazy Life!

Geez, it's been a while. Life has been so crazy with marching band, Senior council, and church stuff. This week has been fun though.

I had a parade for marching band on Monday, and afterwards I went to IHOP and did a little shopping with my guardians. The rest of the week until Friday was a little boring. I had a football game and it was a ton of fun! I love being in the band with all of my friends. My boyfriend even hung out with me in the stands for a bit. Then, I ended this week by going to a Utah State University vs. Air Force Academy game. I had so much fun, and USU won(for the record I am a U of U fan)! I'm super excited for this upcoming week and all that it will bring.

Good bye lovelies!
