JUNIOR PRAAWM

i'm assuming that you can already tell by the title of this post that i had a great time at the dance.

well you're right.

i went with my good friend & ski bud seth and we had a jolly good time. to give you an idea of what a quality male seth is, he learned the entire bust a move rap so he could jam in the car with me on the date. maybe that means nothing to you, but i'm 87% sure my love language is 80s rap (says the whitest girl to ever walk the earth HAHA).

anyway. here are some pics so you can appreciate how dang gooooood we all looked.

alllllright. are my friends cute or what? also, i was wearing heels i swear, but they just kept sinking into the grass. i think the golf course should pay me because i aerated like half the lawn for them lol.

i have an announcement.....jk

so here's to high school dances and 80's raps and not being pregnant. i love ya.

life's good. high school is great.

peace up, A-town.

the struggle is real

remember in like 8th grade when everyone would say that? lol.

but today the struggle really was real.

i was late for school because i forgot to memorize the unit circle and then

i mixed up the radians in quadrant 1&4 in the quiz and then

i left my phone on my tray at wendy's at lunch and then

i lost my keys so i couldn't go get my phone at wendy's but then

when i finally found my keys in the seminary building i was going through the drive through to get my phone and then

i rear ended a lady (don't worry both cars are fine) and she yelled at me and it was scary and then

i started crying cause i'm a hormonal baby and then

i started laughing because. i mean, look at me. i'm a mess.

it's hilarious.

(also, i hope you didn't just read that whole paragraph because i totally just wasted your time with my rant. just skip to the music.)

but nooooowww. my day is really good. like really really good:) because i found new music and let's be real, music fixes everything.

here are the (extremely chill) songs that helped me get my life back together:

catch&release (deepened remix) - matt simmons

fast car - tracy chapman

drive - oh wonder**

7 years - lucas graham

wildfire - frank ocean and john mayer 

that's all. music is good. life is good.

orchestra and art and stuff

i am from st. george and only own wimpy boots and sandals. 

what is this white stuff?!?

it was super foggy and it looked like death eaters were coming.

copper hills high school... no offense to your tightly packed hallways and dirty toilets.., but boy am i glad to go to d-hills!

this statue was insane.

 

abravanel hall. what a beaut.

 our conductors name was
chung chow.
if that's not an orchestra stereotype, idk what is.

ayyyyyy so this is my weekend in the form of obnoxiously formatted pictures and scatterbrained events.

this weekend included, (but was not limited to) playing in the allstate orchestra, going to ZUPAS YAYAY (don't i won't include what i ate for every meal every day, i'm just really pumped cause zupas is my favorite and they don't have it in st. g. moving on.), going to a bingham vs. copper hills basketball game. (both 5A schools. it was insaaaane), riding a sketchy train to downtown SLC, performing in fancy ABRAVANEL HALL (it's a big deal k?), wishing i could buy prada shoes for $750, seeing the NORMAN ROCKWELL exhibit (this is also a big deal, google him and you'll recognize his art:-)), seeing my cousin perform with the young ambassadors, staying with my bff syd and partying all night(and by partying i mean eating store-bought cookie dough and watching the princess diaries...), and then driving home sunday mornin.

wow. much busy. wow.

life is good.

WATCH THIS^^^^

first of all, beyonce is queen. there is no other way to explain it. i am so obsessed with her and her dress and her makeup and her straight SASS. 

ok sorry, beyonce was not the point of this post i swear.

this video portrays a message that i've been thinking about for a long time but i didn't know how to put into words. basically, life is short. so why would we waste time doing anything that would cause anyone any level of hurt or misery? as troy bolton once said, "we're all in this together." so let's try to help each other out as much as we possibly can. be a big enough force for good that the world would notice if you were gone, even if it's just a little tiny corner of the world. make sure the world knows that YOU'RE HERE.

LUKEWARM IS NO GOOD

i have been blogging for 1 full year. 

12 full months. 

excuse me for being proud, but trust me, that's a long time for me to stick to anything.

blogging has been an amazing blessing in my life and i've been able to connect with so many wonderful people through it..

but let's get one thing clear,

i never planned on sharing my blog with anyone. ANYONE. not my fam not my friends, just me myself and i. it was going to be my little private journal on the internet, (except actually better than a journal because i could add pictures and mess around with html code and stuff like that cause i'm a nerd.)

and here's the thing..

I DID NOT WANT TO BE "LINK IN BIO GIRL".  I REFUSED TO BE "LINK IN BIO GIRL". blogging is a dangerous hobby, surrounded by stereotypes and haters and judgmental white girls. the game plan was to keep my blog a secret because, for lack of better words, i was scared of those people. i was scared of the hundreds of experienced mommy bloggers throughout utah who would laugh at my pathetic design skills and overuse of sarcasm. i was scared that my friends would judge me and i would come across as a wannabe or attention seeker. 

but then i came across this little lovely:

if blogging was something i was gonna do, it didn't make sense just to keep it to myself. if i had something to say, i might as well say it to the whole world wide web. and maybe, just maybe, something i said would help someone else in this big scary world. blogging was something i was interested in because of other blogs i had stumbled across that uplifted and inspired me, and this quote pushed me to go at it "full speed," and to "become passionate about it."

if i was going to do it, i was going to do it right. this quote has also helped me in other aspects of my life, especially when i became insecure about my ideas and creativity. what i learned from this quote pushed me to make my ideas come to life, to make short films, to do more photoshoots, to try painting and to meet new people. if you're interested in something, go at it full speed, 

LUKEWARM IS NO GOOD.

heavens bless you roald dahl, look what you got me into.

ODE TO 2015

oh 2015, what an eventful year. 

you brought a big change for bruce jenner, and more ISIS fear.

you broke the internet with a gold and white dress, 

and with the new star wars, you did impress.

you taught us that kanye loves kanye (and kim loves him too)

and let's be real, the dress was black and blue.

and so with this pitiful poem i'll wrap up this year

and hope that 2016 will not be as weird.

peace, love and blessings.
