that moment when..

ever since i was little, i always thought of UVU as the "loser college" 

at the time it was a junior college and not very cool. 

i remember saying "mom. i will go to BYU before UVU" 

and guess where i ended up..

UVU. 

i did a ton of credits in high school, but i didn't quite finish an associates degree. so instead of bargaining with the U, i decided that i would put off my dream school for a little and be smart. i'm at UVU finishing up an associates. i'm 28 credits short. so two more semesters after this one. honestly, its so hard being at the loser school. i love the fact that i'm done with class by one at the latest,  my classes are fairly easy and a few of the people i've been brave enough to talk to are nice. but i don't love it. i'm not having the time of my life. it honestly sucks a little bit. 

but that moment when it all starts falling together a lot better than you could have ever hoped for is amazing. 

i love my major. oh so very much. biology. a few years ago, i never would have imagined that i'd be a biology major. but i'm loving it. it's something that both me and my parents agree on. then i figured out what i want to minor in. exercise science and outdoor recreation. something that i honestly am interested in and i think it'll just be fun. 

the wonderful part of all this, is that when i transfer to the U in two semesters, it's all going to work out. the U has an amazing science program and it's not like my major and minor are too far off. they're close enough related that i think it'll be good. and i guess if i'm not married by the time i get my bachelors, i'll get my masters. 

basically, it's all coming together so much  nicer than i could have hoped for. i'm a little scared about what my future holds, but no good story ever began with "this one time at my parents house.." i am stoked.

mother theresa

you know those days when being alive is just simply to difficult?

and going to class makes you wanna punch babies?? (heaven forbid we are in a nursery when that happens)

yes, well we decided that it was time for a personal day.

thorchez or sanley style:)

we made our way to Starbucks and got coffee.

we were FINALLY awake. thank goodness for caffeine.

then we got hungry so we went to mcdonalds and got breakfast:)

yay for dollar menu!!:)

then i needed to pee, but we couldn't walk back into mcdonalds cause that would be weird, so we ventured off to the library.

then we decided that we needed to go somewhere where we could truly enjoy our coffee that Starbucks made for us.

this is where we ended up..

the y.

when we got out of the car to enjoy the awesome view, karli stubbed her toe and instead of yelling profanities, she belted out "MOTHER THERESA!!!" at the top of her lungs.. so elle and i joined in the belting. we thought it would be refreshing to the ears of the BYU students.

we are hilarious in our own minds.

then out of nowhere,this hippie-granola man comes up to us and asks us if we were the ones yelling, and cautiously we said yes..

we weren't sure if he was gonna get mad or something but then out of nowhere

he cracked a smile and as we bursted out laughing because we were so embarrassed someone heard us, and this man thought it was great:)

then he left and told us to have a happy life:)

and that my friends, was the start of an awesome day:)

then we decided to venture off to dry canyon, and have deep talks on the hood of my car about the previous day that we spent with the coolest guys ever:) then once it started raining,we still had no intentions of moving. so we didn't. until we got bored and went on a nature hike:)

then we got burritos from tanner's house.. he has awesome green salsa.

then we went to the dollar store and bought matching ring pops because that's what best friends do:)

then we finished off the day at my house reading about kissing tips from cosmo..

memories are totally made when you're doing what you're not supposed to be:)

i.love.senior.year.:)

totally worth the 6 days of hark now:)

MOTHER THERESA!!!!
